Come on guys I spendi all my time involved with football I got to gget this going.Did u guys c the article on Philly.com about Anthony Staino having a job lined up driving a forklift at a sugar plant,but the Phila.Inquirer start asking a lot of questions,so apparantley they changed their mind.It was actually okd by the courts.

I'm having a hard time understanding your post. Sorry.

Ok I was saying that Anthony Staino was approved by the courts even though he is on house arrest to be able to start working at an industrial plant at a sugar warehouse near where he lives in Swedesboro,NJ.He was going to work shift work and 1 of his jobs would be driving a fork-lift around a warehouse.You know like a blue-collar job.Apparantley he is friends with 1 of the company owners.Well just has he was about to start work the Philadelphia Inquirer called up the plant and started asking a lot of questions bands the fact that Staino is a very influential mobster in the Phila.-South Jersey Mob.I guess the company did not like all the publicity so they changed their mind and said that maybe Staino was not a good fit after-all.This made Staino's lawyer very mad.

I have a short memory...was Staino not touched by the indictments? Was he the number 3 man in philly?

Actually he was like the no.2 man right behind Ligambi even though he's really not listed as the underboss.I guess he must be bored sitting at home everyday on house arrest,even though he has bills like everyone else I can't picture him hurting financially

Ha! True that.

Didn't Staino already had a legit job...a company or something? Did the feds freeze it?

Reputed mob boss loses out on a job
Anthony Staino had work lined up as he awaits a racketeering trial, but the company backed out.

September 25, 2011|By George Anastasia, Inquirer Staff Writer


With the unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent, hundreds of thousands of Americans are facing the nearly insurmountable challenge of finding a job.

Reputed South Jersey mob leader Anthony Staino is apparently one of them.

Of course, Staino has the added baggage of a 50-count racketeering indictment, an electronic ankle bracelet, and court-ordered home confinement.

The Gloucester County resident's luck appeared to have changed this month when he received court permission to leave his home to work at a sugar plant in the nearby Pureland Industrial Park.

But Friday, after being contacted by The Inquirer, Royal Sugar L.L.C. rescinded its job offer, according to one of the company's owners.

"The work schedule and his skill set didn't fit," Lawrence Toscano said.

Staino would have been paid an hourly wage for working shifts and would have been required to operate machinery, including a forklift.

Royal Sugar processes and refines sugar for distribution to wholesale and retail companies, Toscano said. Sales last year exceeded $14 million.

Staino is a longtime friend of co-owner William Fawley's, Toscano said, and the company had hoped to give him an opportunity.

"But it just wasn't the right fit," he said.

Staino's lawyer blamed The Inquirer for the change of heart by Royal Sugar, which was identified in the court's order, made public Aug. 30. He said the company rescinded its offer because it had been contacted by a reporter.

Staino will "never be able to find work" if a potential employer gets calls from the media, attorney Gregory Pagano said angrily, while proposing that Royal Sugar's name not appear in any article.

Staino - who, according to investigators, has described himself as the mob's "CFO" and a "member of the board of directors" - had expected to begin work this week. The Pureland industrial complex is just a few miles from his home, near Swedesboro.

"No one wants to stay home 24-7," Pagano had said in an earlier interview. "Anybody who is at all motivated would be interested in going to work."

Since his release on $900,000 bail in May, Staino, 54, has been confined to the house he shares with his wife and 3-year-old daughter in the Westbrook at Weatherby development of Woolwich Township.

The house, valued at more than $300,000, is on a corner lot and has a two-car garage and a fenced-in yard with a patio, grill, and in-ground pool.

I happen to like STAINO ALOT.. Guy is an earner.. As much as people hate on him.. They say he was all business and could hold his own.. Ligambi made alot of money.. Im gonna say close to 1.5-2 mill a yr.. He wouldnt put Staino his #2 or 3 guy w Mosuie if he was a deadbeat.

Staino has a job at the super wawa on rt 322 in Swedesboro. He is a gas attendent.

I guess Mazzone and Chang aren't sending envelopes to Swedesboro. I bet those guys couldn't even find Swedesboro.Fuckin dump of a town.

Hey Mooney thanks for helping me out there.I am so computer illerate I don't no how to transfer articles when I see them.Thanks for posting it the correct way.

The guy is a crumb. Whether he works our not, alot of them are bums, all there associates collect welfare

George is gonna flip and probably see what sentence comes down on him. Unless Ligambi has money going to George "Porky The Pig " Borgesi."

I would cut stainos folklift off throw him off the machine and dump sugar and water all over the guy ..knock em out wiht one punch don't know if I would klick him on the ground or not

Flamingo, is he seriously working as a gas attendant? IF so, he may be doing this to meet a bunch of people.. Pretty smart move..

I wonder if CHANG N STEVIE HAVE BEEN taking care of these guys in jail even alittle..

FLAMINGO, whats mazzone n chang up too?

I hear Starbucks is hiring .

Well rumors say that they are in charge at the moment.
Mazzone as acting boss and Ciancaglini as acting underboss.

But again > rumors

I think the court should appoint him a job, not a friend. He should be supervised so hes not sitting around with his thumb up his ass all day.

The sugar refinery lol EXTRA EXTRA..."Hey stevie tell all the vendors dey wanna buy sugar dey gonna buy it from me now..I'll drive the forklift out with a ton of it, get all the wannabes to have the old broken down trucks ready. LMAO
