[quote=Big_Tuna93]Anyone with any information on Carlisi getting locked up? It is my understanding that he was very careful about wiretaps and even during the trial they were was no wiretap evidence of him. The other evidence was pretty weak too. You could make the same claim I suppose for family secrets, but there was so much media and hype around that trial that none of those guys really had a chance.
Lenny Patrick and Rainone were two of the prime informants against Carlisi, Marcello and Alex. For example, Patrick was funneling one associate known as Gary Edwards (also became informant) with illegal payments which went straight to Carlisi and thats just one of the connections for which the feds were able to create a case against him. The same tactic was also used against Marcello and Alex.
If memory serves, you did an article on this, no? I'll have to find and read it.
