I enjoyed reading this, but I HIGHLY doubt that they had 13 agents investigating this family at one time at ANY time within the past 13 years. Some of the NY squads dont even have that many agents just for one family.

The store was on Passyunk? I could of sworn it happened at Gary Tavella's candy store which i thought was at 9th and Mountain. Tavella's wife has a deli there now.

Are you sure it was Passyunk?

Hey Dap how about if an agent started working with them in like 2000 and was still working on the investigation in May 2011 can you tell me the pay scale foe that agent having 11 years in?

Definately on passyunk, i think it is 1611 east passyunk cause now its a ticket agency, its right before tasker on you right if your driving down passyunk

Ok, thanks. Do you know if that was Tavella's place?

i forgot the connection wheather it was his or his parents but he did def hav something to do with the place

Rumor is 57 months

4 and half years is tough

well you have to take into consideration that by the time he gets sentenced sometime in november he will have 18 months in

Why in America do you say sentences in months? Why not say he has four and a half years? Has this always been the case?

thats how the federal sentencing guidelines are set up in months

I was down at the bar today guys it looks like there going to beat these charges

Sounds like the jury, or one juror, maybe sympatechic to their cause.....

I think DickNose was being facetious.

Pizzaboy i'm glad me and you both share Ivyleague degrees

Apparently the word is that George Anastasia has retired at the age of 65, too bad.

That is probably why we havent been updated on the trial yet and I wouldnt bet on seeing many more mob talks/mob scenes in the future, but i could be wrong (i hope).

I think he realizes that at his age and as far as his career is concerned he reached the tipping point. What more can he really do? Write a book about those idiots eating Italian Seafood with a rat from the gambino family

Just sucks that nobody seems to be covering the trial anymore. Hopefully the new crime reporter will. Just thought GA would last until after this trial since it was 10 years in the making. Maybe he will do a little freelance but if he is retired I doubt he is at court. \

On another note, Rat finger Lou should be testifying by weeks end is the word on the street.

It appears that since George retired, there are not enough resources or apetites for the info to cover this trial in full. Thats what I have heard.

That's odd. Must be something fishy

yeah kinda came out of nowhere

No reason there shouldn't be at LEAST an unpaid intern taking notes to report in the paper

the lack of coverage is shameful

Its even worse since GA as been waiting for the trisl and posting vids pre trial and just deciding to quit. Mob Scene must of been scrapped

DAP, I emailed the the guy who did the last article, John Martin. He said he is the only one working the courthouse and can't go every day due to the lack of employees (philly papers going downhill) and he said lack of insterest basicaly. I dont see how that is when Philly and south jersey is usually interested in this stuff. So he said he can't be there everyday but will try to cherry pick a few spots.

I also heard on the street that Lou is testifying this week. I told John Martin that we would like to hear about that and anything having to do with the nicky skins tapes. Didn't hear back afer that. lol

Crooked Toe will be Ratting Live Tommorrow!!

lou fazzini??

crooked toe...lol...I love it! So I did hear correctly bout Lou.

This coverage has been shitty. I told you to tell us whats going on. Come back tomorrow and give us an update.

I do hope they do some coverage on it. You would think that some shit journalist in the corner somewhere would do some kind of blog and cover it or something since he sees that no one else is doing any coverage. Hopefully John Martin covers Rat finger lou...or crooked toe tomorrow.

People get nicknames and nobody ever wonders why.So I will ask does he have a bent finger from an accident or something
