Investigation & Evidence of Million Dollar Embezzlement/Laundering
of US Saving Bonds belonging to my father Peter Iannaccone, U.S. WWII Veteran for recovery from the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury
The funds were derived from his federal Veteran's disability payments paid since 1948 & invested into bonds then emblezzled/laundered by my maternal Uncle Joe Pezzino & cousin Phil Napoli in 1972 who were in the Buffalo Sicilian Mafia (also below is related claim of homicide of Thomas F. Martin III in 1985 by my Uncle Joe Pezzino). The million dollars was then invested in Samuel's Grande Manor in 1978
http://www.SamuelsGrandeManor.comMy father was used for torturous CIA drug experimentation while involuntarily confined to the Canandaigua Veteran's Hospital since 1948 as I subsequently was beginning in 1968 in follow-up research.
***
Brief history of Mk-Ultra the CIA’s cold-war behavioral science drug project from “The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: The CIA and Mind Control,†by author John Marks, a former State Dept. official.
Clandestine lobbying by British agents in the U.S. led to Pres. Franklin Roosevelt’s creation of OSS in 1942. It was under the command of Wall Street lawyer Gen. William “Wild Bill†Donovan a native of Buffalo’s South Ward.
In 1943 doctors connected to the S.S and Gestapo were doing mescaline experiments on prisoners at Dachau. At this time OSS, set up a “truth drug†committee under Dr. Winfred Overholser, head of St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington. The committee tried various drugs including mescaline and marijuana and set up a testing program in cooperation with the Manhattan Project.
The first field tests of marijuana laced cigarettes took place on May 27, 1943. The subject was August Del Gracio a notorious New York gangster. George White, who came to OSS from the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, administered the drug. White learned much about the narcotics trade from Del Gracio and wanted the Mafia’s cooperation to keep Axis agents out of the New York waterfront and to prepare the way for the invasion of Sicily.
Naval Intelligence sealed a deal in which mob leaders promised to cooperate and N.Y. Gov. Thomas Dewey ordered Del Gracio’s boss of bosses, Charlie “Lucky†Luciano freed from jail in 1946.
The truth-drug committee authorized George White who borrowed dossiers from the FBI to test marijuana as an interrogation technique on suspected communist soldiers stationed in U.S. military camps.
In 1946 prior to the conclusion of the Nuremberg trials U.S investigative teams sifted through the experimental records at Dachau for information of military value. Military authorities sent the records, including a description of the mescaline and hypnosis experiments back to the U.S. None of the German mind-control research was ever made public.
In 1947 the CIA and National Security Council was created- the command structure for the cold war. On April 13, 1953 Allen Dulles approved a project for the “covert use of biological and chemical materials,†proposed by Richard Helms-code named Mk-Ultra.
Issues:
Whether US Dept. of Treasury is mandated to produce the registration records of and be liable for an investment of US Savings Bonds belonging to a WWII Veteran derived from his VA disability payments from 1945 to 1979, where the evidence shows:
The US Veteran was involuntarily confined to the Canandaigua VA Hospital in 1948 by his spouse Mamie following a legal or common law marriage separation and used for CIA drug experimentation since at least the mid 1950s, debilitating electroshocks in 1957-58, and then legally declared an incompetent person in 1960, but no committee appointed.
And where, these bonds were embezzled/laundered in 1972 by my maternal uncle Joseph Pezzino & maternal second cousin Philip Napoli who were members of the Buffalo Sicilian Mafia, as described below.
And where, the Dept of the Treasury admits via letter dated 3/17/88, from L.M. Aanerud, Director, Division of Transaction and Rulings that:
“A search of the Department’s Series G, H, and E registration records for May 1941 through January 1979 with the names, addresses, and social security account numbers furnished disclose the issuance of several bonds, all of which were redeemed more than 10 years ago…â€

(See copy of VA letter dated May 15, 1986 Exh. #3 & Cert. of Admin. #4)
7/13/1947
Charles Pezzino, Mamie’s father passes away leaving a large family of twelve in financial hardship.
1948
Peter’s family including Eleanor (blood-niece-age 17), testify Peter was living with his father & mother at 149 W. Ferry prior to 1948. Peter was self employed as a painter/wall-paper hanger. Peter was in the process of having a legal or common law marriage separation and obtained a protective order against Mamie and her brothers. Mamie and Peter were disputing entitlement to Peter’s VA funds. Also, Peter had named his mother as beneficiary on his VA Life Insurance. Mamie wanted to be the beneficiary.
Eleanor testifies that Mamie shouted from out side the home, “If you don’t live with me, I’ll put you back in Canandaigua.â€
Betty Furhey, Mamie’s blood-niece was with Mamie at that time and confirms Mamie’s threat verbatim. Betty states Mamie was jealous of Peter’s blonde sister-in-law Ruth Taylor and wanted Peter’s child and VA money.
Eleanor testifies two men in long white coats showed up at 149 W. Ferry soon after Mamie’s threat and forcibly retrained Peter in a straight jacket and removed him to Canandaigua.
4/1/48 to 11/13/53
VA letter states Peter was confined to the Canandaigua VA Hospital.
4/1/1948 to 11/13/52. William was conceived around 3/8/52.
1948
Mamie began her employment at Trico Products Plant II were she worked until 1976
1950
Mamie obtains a Certified Statement of Marriage stating Peter & Mamie were married on 4/24/38 by Rev. Frederick Ruhland, from the City Clerk. It states this in NOT a Marriage Certificate but a verified statement (of marriage). It notes Registration No. 815 (1938). (See, Cert. Statement of Marriage, dtd 8/30/1950, Exh. #5.)
11/13/52
According to Eleanor (Peter’s niece) Peter’s mother, Amelia (nee Girro) who was trying to remove Peter from the VA Hospital ate something before retiring, sat up in bed and died. Eleanor states Amelia had no illness prior to that time and no autopsy was performed.
12/8/52
William G. Iannaccone was born. Certain members of both families state Peter did not want a child with Mamie. Jim Pontrello (Mamie’s blood- nephew) states an injection was used to induce Mamie’s pregnancy.
1/21/1954
Mamie takes out a mortgage with Western Savings Bank of Buffalo on a home at 4121 North Bailey Ave that she bought in her name and her mother Maria Pezzino’s (nee Napoli) name. Mamie did not use a VA mortgage which would have offered a lower loan rate indicating she was not eligible therefore not his legal spouse. This first time only VA mortgage was later used by William to finance the home purchased in his father’s name in 1986. See copy of mortgage, filed in liber 4957, page 165 dated 1/21/54-note drawing of house in top margin is Peter’s which he subsequently drew often, Exh. # 6.)
12/9/55 to 3/3/1960
Peter is confined to the VA Canandaigua Hospital.
Both Betty Furhey and Evelyn Harcrow (blood-nieces) who visited Peter often at the Canandaigua VA Hospital with Mamie testify psychedelic drugs were put in Peter’s food in the mid- 1950’s that made him hallucinate and caused fear and anger. They state Mamie who was illiterate was made to sign consents to have Peter used for experimentation by a VA nurse who befriended the family as a fellow Christian. The above experimentation was confirmed by several of Mamie’s blood-relatives and Peter’s brother Carmen.
Betty Fuhrey and Eleanor Harcrow (Mamie’s blood-nieces) also testify that from 1957-58 Peter underwent severe electro-shocks that caused abnormal speech patterns. He was no longer able to speak coherently yet retained the ability to sing coherently and swear (symptoms of left hemisphere brain damage). These electro-shocks causing verbal abnormalities are also confirmed by several of Mamie’s blood relatives. (See “The Astonishing Hypothesis,†by Francis Crick for symptoms of left-hemisphere damage, pg. 88, Exh. #7).
*See my blog "Family Affidavit (subscribed 7/28/05) to Sen. Clinton re Release of Medical Record of Injection, " at
http://www.myspace.com/redchameleon (3/4/60-8/19/60) Peter is out of the VA Hospital.
William is in 2nd Grade & paints on the easel stick figures of him self and his mother at his home with his father in the background in front of the Canadaigua VA Hospital building. The teacher Mrs. Payne sends him to see the school nurse.
8/20/1960
Upon the petition of Mamie, Peter is judicially declared an Incompetent Person by Judge William J. Regan of the County Court of Erie, but no Committee is appointed. Regan later became a Surrogate Justice and failed to properly identify Peter as an Incompetent and appoint a Committee for Peter’s interests in the estate of Mamie in 1979.
Evelyn Harcrow testifies in a sworn affidavit subscribed on July 28, 2005 sent to Sen. Clinton that: “Peter’s diagnosis on page 3 (of the petition), made while Peter was admitted to the E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital (Erie Co. Medical Center), on Aug. 19, 1960, as ‘Schizophrenic-Paranoid Type,’ is inaccurate and misleading. It does not take into account that Peter’s condition resulted from his subjugation to experimental military-type research while involuntarily confined to the Canandaigua V.A. Hospital…†(page 3, paragraph 12 of affidavit).
Harcrow also testifies: “I find it remarkable that my Aunt Mamie stated (on the Petition) ‘my husband has a history of mental illness since 1942 and 1943.’ My Aunt Mamie use to falsely claim to others that Peter was severely shell-shocked in WWII to hide the fact she was coerced into consenting for Peter to undergo experimental research that destroyed him psychologically-mainly to keep this secret from her son William G. Iannaccone†(page 3, paragraph 12 of affidavit).
See Petition & Adjudication of Incompetent Person dated 8/20/60 & Iannaccone/Harcrow Affidavit (w/o Exh.) dated 7/28/05- Exh. #8 & #9.
Evelyn, also responds to statements by Mamie upon which the Incompetence Petition is based (as follows) “He mumbles to himself and sometimes will point to a window and says there out there.†Evelyn states Peter most likely was actually being harassed by Uncle Joseph Pezzino and his mob associates and was reacting to actual threats.
8/24/60 to 10/12/66
V.A letter informs from 8/24/60 to 10/12/66 Peter was confined to the VA Canandaigua Hospital.
1965
Just prior to Peter’s release in 1966 from Canandaigua VA Hospital reciprocal wills & NYS estate waivers were made for Peter & Mamie by Arthur F. Musarra, Mamie’s family lawyer since 1953 and lawyer of Local 210, waiving their rights to each others estates in favor of their son. The fact that separate estates exist proves there was no legal marriage in effect.
(See July 22, 1965 letter by Musarra Exh #10)
10/15/65
The reciprocal wills & NYS estate waivers were filed in the Erie Co. Surrogate Court under Mamie’s name and removed on 5/1/72.
Betty Fuhrey who knew the Musarra family delivered papers between Musarra’s law office during this time and confirms the making of the wills (See Surrogate Court registration card # 70602, Exh # 11)
1966
On 10/12/66 Peter is released to live at the home of Mamie & William in a state of severe trauma. William was 13 years old-Grade 9. Peter was often threatened by Mamie’s brother Joe Pezzino a member of the Sicilian Mafia which exacerbated his trauma and rage as confirmed by several of Mamie’s family members.
5/15/67
William is truant from school and is petitioned to Family Court by Mamie as a Person In Need of Supervision (PIN). On 1/17/68 William appears before Judge Killeen who orders a probation investigation. Mamie is being advised by Gerald M. Marek, probation officer who befriends the family as a fellow Christian.
9/1967
William is introduced to marijuana by Dan Parisi, William’s fraternity (TKB) president, whose father was in the Buffalo mafia and who was a friend of Joe Pezzino William’s cousin and owner of Samuel’s Grande Manor. Parisi was later cited in the Buffalo News for a large marijuana distribution ring bust. Parisi also served as an accountant for the Catholic Diocese.
3/3/68- 3/7/68
William is admitted to E.J. Meyer Memorial (ECMC) and received an injection by Bernard H. Smith, M.D. head neurologist, after being asked:
Are you William G. Iannaccone? Is your father Peter Iannaccone who was a patient at the Canandaigua Veteran’s Hospital?
ECMC is currently in contempt of a Court Order for the release of record of injection- most likely research in chemicals causing genetic mutation resulting in FSH-Muscular Dystrophy in William’s son, Sol, born on 7/29/71.) See NYS Supreme Court file# H-50268 Motion for to Compel Compliance with prior Order for Discovery (not in file docket)-Exh #12
(See also page 5, paragraph 16 of the above described Iannaccone/Harcrow affidavit-Exh. #9)
*See my blog "Family Affidavit (subscribed 7/28/05) to Sen. Clinton re Release of Medical Record of Injection, " at
http://www.myspace.com/redchameleon And, see ABC News Closeup, 1/30/79 pg. 62, re: CIA’s research in chemical mutants Exh # 13.
3/8/68
William is adjudged to be a PIN and placed on probation under the supervision of Gerald M. Marek who advised Mamie to have William admitted to E.J Meyer (E.C.M.C) for observation.
8/5/68 – 12/68
From 8/5 -8/24/68 William is admitted to E.J. Meyer (ECMC) for observation and from 8/24/68 to 12/68 was being seen by Rev. Lawrence B. Hardy Chaplin/Therapist who subjected William to sadistic psychological tests, suggestions and assaults targeting his manhood, sexual identity and attempted to make him identify with his “paranoid-schizophrenic†father.
Hardy extracts William’s semen under hypnosis and was in the direct control of its disposition. (See page 7&8, paragraph 24 of Iannaccone/Harcrow Affidavit-Exh. # 9)
*See my blog "Family Affidavit (subscribed 7/28/05) to Sen. Clinton re Release of Medical Record of Injection, " at
http://www.myspace.com/redchameleon 7/26/69 -8/4/69
William is readmitted to E.J. Meyer Memorial (ECMC). Hardy writes in his medical notes “Talked to pts (patients) mothers attorney a Mr. Musarra who seemed like a pretty good fellow & was willing to go along w (with) our treatment plan.†See medical notes dated 8/69- Exh. #14.
Mamie is now informed by Musarra and her family members not to tell William about the one million dollars investment in bonds that was embezzled from his father.
9/69-9/72
William returns to Amherst Senior High in 9/69 after leaving at age 16 and obtains HS Diploma in 6/71. William marries and has a son, Sol, and moves his family to S.F., Cali. to attend the Academy of Art College in summer of 1972. William later attends the California Institute of Asian Studies. Marie Law convinced William’s mother that William married a “butana,†(Italian for bum) to prevent Mamie from telling William about his father’s embezzled million dollars. To the contrary William’s wife was a very good girl and mother.
1972
Evelyn Harcrow testifies in a sworn statement filed in the NYS Supreme Court, Index # 27,466 that Peter’s US Savings Bonds were negotiated in 1972 and were valued at one million dollars. And that Peter and Mamie were legally separated. (See Harcrow affidavit filed on 3/31/2004-Exh. #15)
1978
Mamie before passing away on 10/15/78 provides William with a security file box and says:
“Son, there are things that people made me do. I don’t have the heart to tell you. No one’s going to help you. You are going to have to figure it out for yourself. This way I’ll know you’ll be alright.â€
Contained in the file box was the above letter from Arthur F. Musarra, dated July 22, 1965 (Exh. #10) regarding the reciprocal wills & estate waivers; bank accounts, checks, insurance numbers, correct social security numbers used for Peter & Mamie and letter from Bernard H. Smith, M.D. (which jogs William’s memory of the unusual questions, prior to the injection as described supra. See letter from Bernard H Smith, M.D. dated 1/23/69 –Exh. #16)
Also, left behind by Mamie was a picture of her in front of Harrah’s Casino in Las Vagas in 1972 joined by her cousin Phil Napoli a narcotics trafficker who had ties to Stephano Magaddino the don of the Niagara Falls region. Napoli moved to San Francisco in 1960 just prior to the Haight- Ashbury hippie invasion. Also in the picture is “Bucky†Cimminelli a Buffalo construction magnate. (See picture of Mamie and Phil Napoli- Exh. #17)
Also, left behind by Mamie tucked away in William’s grade school work books are the 1040 Individual Income Tax Returns filed by Mamie from 1956 to 1976. These returns show no social security number used for Peter previous to and including 1971. 1972 is missing. Beginning in 1973 through 1976 William’s social security number is substituted for Peter’s.
(See, 1040s for 1971 & 1973-Exh. # 18).
William obtains from the NYS Dept of Insurance a copy of Prudential Insurance check payable to William negotiated at the M&T Bank on 12/6/77. William’s signature is forged by Mamie. The second endorser on the check is William’s Uncle Joseph Pezzino a member of the Buffalo Mafia. The signature matches a note written by Joe Pezzino to William on 10/17/85.
(See copy of front & back of check and note-Exh. #19)
Joe Pezzino cousin to William- owner of Samuel’s Grande Manor concedes it was Uncle Joe who cashed in the bonds in 1972.
According to William’s long-time friend John Mallon who works for the IRS the above information, including the IRS Returns, picture of Mamie in Las Vagas in 1972 and affidavit by Evelyn Harcrow show that the bonds were embezzled by Uncle Joe in 1972-most likely in the same manner as the Prudential check at the M&T Bank where the VA had a direct deposit program set up for veterans. The million dollars was then laundered in Harrah’s Casino by Mamie and her cousin Phil Napoli in 1972-where he most likely had the connections to launder drug money as well-and then reported as gambled away using William’s social security number on the 1972 IRS returns.
1973 -78
Sam Pezzino uses the laundered million dollars to invest in luxury apartments including Kingswood Apartments and Samuel’s Grande Manor. The funds are then transferred to Marie Law (Mamie’s sister) who moves to Florida in around 1986.
1978
Marie Law (sister to Mamie) who did the banking for her and who was close to her brother Joseph Pezzino who was a member of the Buffalo Sicilian Mafia files a Death Cert. for Mamie that substituted William’s son Sol’s social security number for Mamie’s and records she does not know her mother’s maiden name (Napoli). This was later corrected by William.
See original and corrected Death Cert. of Mamie Exh. # 20
1982
Uncle Joe Pezzino visits William and threatens “I’ll blow your head off.†Previous threats include “I’ll break your back.†These threats follow William’s Surrogate Court interventions and investigation of one-million dollars in embezzled bonds by William.
5/1984
William contacts the IRS, Criminal Div. to make a criminal investigation into the embezzled bonds valued at one million dollars. By letter dated May 16, 1984, Ronald D. Pyszczynski, Disclosure Specialist, provides William a seven page memorandum report by Estate Tax Attorney Nicholas R. Critelli, where on page 6, paragraph 2 it states:
“Letter from U.S. Dept. of Treasury, Fiscal Services, dated 1/27/84, in response to the examiner’s letter and phone conversation regarding U.S. Savings Treasury certificates registered in the name of the decedent states that they made a through search of records and can find no accounts open or closed from the information provided.â€
>>> (See below at (12/10/87) for subsequent discovery by William of 33 U.S. Bonds in Mamie’s & Williams name proving the above inquiry erroneous.)
Also, Critelli report of 5/16/84 did not include and investigate the accounts in the name of Mamie Iannaccone and Peter Iannaccone at the Manufactures & Traders Trust bank.
(See IRS Memoradum, dated 5/16/84-Item #21).
>>>An Abandoned Account in the name of Mamie Iannaccone ATF Sol Iannaccone (Mamie’s grandson) is revealed by letter dated 4/1/80 sent by M&T Bank proving Mamie did have accounts with M&T 3 years prior to her death on 10/15/78. Also, M&T checks in Marie Law’s handwriting signing for Mamie’s Prudential Life Insurance premiums, dated1968-1977 further prove Mamie had accounts with M&T Bank. Marie did the all the banking for Mamie who was illiterate.
See copy M&T letter dtd. 4/1/80 & M&T checks (front & back) Exh. # 22
Also quoted in the IRS report:
“The examiner Nicholas Critelli, notes from the examination of the Erie County Surrogate’s file #78-6265 a Petition for Judicial Settlement signed by Marie Law, executrix that the petitioner stated the decedent’s estate was not subject to New York Transfer Tax.
Schedule A in the Petition lists bank accounts totaling $45,081.25 plus post death interest of $8,161.91 which totaled a gross New York estate of $53,243.16. No real estate or life insurance was noted in the Petition for Judicial Settlement.
The examiner noted from the Criminal Investigation Division file information that the decedent did own life insurance of two policies not disclosed in the Judicial Settlement of the decedent’s estate, namely Metropolitan Life Insurance, group #14818T for $7,658.37 and Prudential Insurance, M53013892 for $742.67. Total life insurance is $8,404.00
Examiner also noted from the Criminal Investigation Division file information that the decedent did transfer title to real estate at 4121 North Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, New York to her sister, Marie Law on 10/6/78, just prior to the decedent’s death on 10/15/78. Marie Law subsequently sold this property to Ronald and Susan Sennane (Ron Cenname-my cousin) on 12/8/80 for a price of $43,000.
From the information above, it appears that after and even including the real estate and even including the insurance not reported in the gross estate of the decedent, that a gross estate of $104,404.00 would result, if no other assets were discovered belonging to the decedents and determined to be included in the decedent’s gross estate.
The decedent died on 10/15/78. The threshold amount required for filing a Form 706, Federal Estate Tax return in 1978 was $134,000. Assuming that only $104,404. would be includable in the decedent’s gross estate, and additional $29,596. of assets would have to be not only discovered, but determined to be includable in the decedent’s gross estate in order to require filing of Form 706.
The examiner concludes that there will be not sufficient assets established and determined includable in the gross estate so as to require the filing of Form 706.â€
9/1984
Betty Fuhery was going to appear in the Surrogate Court in support of William to acknowledge the 1965 will made by Arthur F. Musarra, Esq and one-million dollars investment in US Bonds embezzled by Joe Pezzino. Betty also was willing to sign a notarized letter to testify to the above, but states she was visited by Joe Pezzino who threatened her. Betty states to William she would be shot by Uncle Joe and no one would find out who did it. So Betty does not sign the letter or appear in court.
See, 9/84 letter (unsigned) Exh. # 23
2/27/85
Article appears in Buffalo News regarding the Onyx criminal case involving M&T University Plz Branch, Ex-Banker Carl Mastykarz, Rev. William F. White III (a family friend who married Betty) and Joe Fino, long time member of Local 210. See 2/27/85 & (...) News Article Item 24
3/8/1985
During Surrogate Court proceeding involving Marie Law’s accounting of assets belonging to the estate of Mamie Iannacone Thomas F. Martin III, William’s best friend is shot in the head in his bed on 3/8/85.
1985
In the summer of 1985 William is threatened by his maternal second cousin Anthony Bolea who confronts William & Peter in a car in front of Joe Pezzino’s restaurant Big John’s Pizzeria. Bolea approached the car from the left rear side of the Pizzeria. Bolea is holding a small couch pillow under one arm while extending his thumb upward and pointing with his index finger at the pillow-in the definite shape of a gun.
In Oct. 1985 Joe Pezzino William’s uncle threatens William by stating/gesturing: “You know your buddy Tom Martin?†He then puffs out his chest, points his thumb to his chest, grins wide and yells “Alright.â€
Joe Pezzino then takes up residence in the apartment above William & his father after William moves to the lower apt to avoid a legal eviction. William finds a live-in girlfriend, purchases a home for his father and moves out by Nov. 1986.
1985
According to Cert. of Marriage Registration, signed by the City Clerk, obtained by William on 5/24/85, # 475- Record No. 815, Year of 1938- Peter was married to Mamie on April 24, 1938. Note: City Clerk personnel state that a copy of the original marriage license is illegible so the Cert. of Marriage Registration is provided as a substitute.
(See Cert of Marriage Reg. dated 5/24/85 Exh. # 25
Note: Mamie was also given a Cert of Marriage rather than an actual copy on 8/30/50 only 12 years after the claimed marriage date of 4/38 (raising serous doubt actual copy exists).
12/10/1987
Resulting from a request for investigation of bonds by William by letter dated 10/21/87 the Dept. of Treasury responds by letter of 12/10/87 revealing 28 unpaid bonds registered under Mamie or Gary Iannaccone and 5 paid bonds.
See 12/10/87 letter by DOT Exh. # 26
2/29/1988
Resulting from further request for investigations of bonds by William by letter dated 1/15/88 the Dept of the Treasury responds by letter of 2/29/88 stating “a search of our Series E records in all denominations from 10/1957-12/1978…did not disclose the issuance of any securities.â€

In response to a Judicial Subpoena received 3/14/88 the Dept of the Treasury responds by letter dated 3/17/88 stating: “A search of the Dept’s Series G, H, and E registration records for May 1941 through January 1979 with the names, addresses and social security account numbers furnished disclosed the issuance of several bonds, all of which were redeemed more than 10 years ago, with the exception of 32 bonds registered in the name of Mamie Iannaccone with Gary Iannaccon named as coowner which were retired by this office as undeliverable and are presently being reissued to Gary Iannaccone.†See DOT letter dated 3/17/88 Exh. # 28

In a Buffalo News Article of 2/2/89, Michael Beebe, reveals Local 210 member Ron Fino worked for the CIA from 1965 – 1969 as a SUNY at Buffalo student informer to infiltrate the Students for a Democratic Society. Ron’s father Joe was mob capo. The CIA recruited students as part of Operation Chaos, an unauthorized domestic spying op in the late 1960’s.
In the article Fino said “he was feeding it (CIA) information on Students for a Democratic Society†who were organizing anti-Vietnam War protests. Curiously enough, scores of SDS swallowed-up on-campus LSD and many went from pragmatic left-wing radicals to wide-eyed, soul searching, fringed avatars.
Note: Millions of dollars of CIA research grants were paid to professors and psychological researchers at Universities across the U.S to experiment with psychedelic drugs (See ABC News Closeup: Mission Mind Control, 1/30/79 transcripts pg 6, 25 & 34, Item #30)
Incidentally, in the same Buffalo News Article Fino said he used his Mafia connections to help the CIA look for possible mob connections in the John F. Kennedy assassination
After his stint with the CIA Fino becomes an informer for the FBI in 1972 at age 24 while taking over Local 210. As described above (at 2/27/85) Fino later got in hot water when the Buffalo News revealed a fraudulent minority front company he was involved in-the Onyx Construction and Equipment Co. Fino now says it was a government sting set up in 1978 aimed at former mob boss Sam Pieri.
Note: U.S Attorney Richard D. Kaufman (who I have worked with on these investigations since 1985) remarked to me that when Fino started singing to the press he was in hot water in a criminal proceeding. Was Fino using the press to gain leverage for leniency in the criminal case by coming forward to say he worked for the CIA during the late 1960’s at UB? What else does he know that the CIA did not want him to reveal? Most likely it had to do with the Mafia-CIA links in Mk-Ultra that even Fino did not know the depths of-that I uncovered.

My father passed away on 4/20/92. Four days prior, I was first informed my father was eligible for Medicare & Widower’s Insurance since 1976. I was misinformed by SSA since 1983 that his father was not entitled to Medicare or SSA Insurance benefits.
The SSA claimed the now uncovered 1976 application for Peter was filed incorrectly, yet did not produce the record. I litigated the case in the U.S. District Court and twice prevailed in the U.S. Court of Appeals, 2nd Circuit. On the second appeal in 2001 the SSA “deemed†Peter’s application as filed correctly. I recovered over $104,000.00 for SSA benefits entitled to Peter from 1976-1992, plus court fees.
See U.S.C.A., 2nd Cir. Summary Order of Jan. 17, 2001 and copy of SSA checks, Exh. # 32.
Incidentally, on a print out from Social Security showing the wages earned by Mamie from 1951- 1976 whereupon it states earnings made in 1972 as $6,806. it shows “Mary Naples†for mother’s maiden name (rather than correctly as Napoli).
It also shows that the DOF -date of filing of SSA application for Peter as 11/76.
See SSA print out Exh # 33
Summary
The Dept. of Treasury (DOT) has stated in their letter of May 23, 1988:
“…In 1980, the savings bond regulations were amended to provide notice to owners that photographic copies of paid bonds would no longer be available 10 years after the bonds are cashed. Such bonds are presumed to have been properly paid. This means that in the absence of other evidence, the Treasury will assume that the proper owner(s) received payment. The Government continues to stand ready to replace or pay any bond that is shown not to have been paid.
The Courts have said that the savings bond owners must exercise reasonable diligence in making a claim for bonds purportedly lost. Otherwise, if the bonds have been cashed, the 6-year statue of limitations applies…â€
(see DOT letter of 5/23/88 Exh # 34).
Clearly, this is a criminal case involving allegations of embezzlement and laundering of a one-million dollar investment of US Savings Bonds derived from the federal V.A. funds belonging to a WWII Veteran. And, tax evasion and claim of responsibility for an act of murder in an attempt to thwart an ongoing investigation thereof.
Further, Peter was confined to the VA Canandaigua Hospital since 1944 and legally declared an Incompetent person in 1960, where no committee was appointed and not able to make a claim for these bonds embezzled from him as described above.
The DOT must produce the complete registration records of Peter/Mamie & William Gary Iannaccone to avoid a continuation of the obstruction of justice in a criminal matter. The registration records include the name, address and more recently social security number of bond owners, the denomination and how the bond was negotiated (when the bonds were redeemed and who redeemed them) and serves as the probative evidence in the above alleged crimes. See Audio Tape- Notes of 5/31/88 of Chuck McGowen of the Federal Reserve Bank, Buffalo, NY. Exh. #35.
The DOT already reissued 28 bonds that were registered in the names of Mamie or (William) Gary Iannaccone. The DOT was informed by William that the 28 bonds were not in his possession and the 5 redeemed bonds were not redeemed by him. According to Randy Shepard, of the DOT the missing bonds were returned to Wash, D.C., and received on 12/3/87 and then sent and received by DOT in Parkersburg, VA on 12/24/87. Randy states “I don’t know who sent them.â€
Most likely those bonds were in the possession and sent to Wash. D.C. by Marie Law who was the benefactor of the 5 (fraudulently) redeemed bonds belonging to William.
Yet, the DOT did not properly conduct a through investigation of the registration records even at that time to account for the remaining one-million dollar investment in bonds embezzled from Peter, as described above.
See Taped Notes dated 3/4/88. Exh. #35.
The DOT is liable for this fraudulent payment of one million in bonds belonging to Peter a US Veteran derived from his U.S Government issued disability payments which were embezzled and laundered by William's maternal Uncle and second cousin who were members of the Buffalo Sicilian Mafia.
Further Actions
William intends to provide an open letter of evidence to the IG of the DOT with supporting letter from U.S. Attorney Richard D. Kaufman and additional letter of support signed by National Lawyers Guild members and other lawyers and law students. The evidence will include some of the information herein and additional evidence including new affidavits and video testimonials of family relatives to compel the production of the complete registration records of embezzled/laundered bonds for the recovery of the embezzled/laundered one million dollars.
Note: Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard D. Kaufman has closely followed this entire investigation by William. Richard D. Kaufman has stated although he has notified the FBI to organized crime involvement in the embezzlement/laundering of a million dollars bonds and the claim of execution style murder of Thomas F. Martin III where the underlying motive was a threat to William in an attempt to thwart the investigation of embezzled/laundered U.S. Savings Bonds belong to a U.S. Veteran, the FBI are not properly investigating these alleged crimes involving organized crime.
Richard D. Kaufman is following William’s actions with the DOT and wants to reopen the murder investigation of Thomas F. Martin III and relying on William for further information related to be above crimes.
