The feds know how to play the game perfectly to a tee. They initially indicted Ligambi and co on mostly gambling charges. They let them stew for a bit at the Philly MDC and waited to see if any of them flipped. Bent Finger Lou flipped shortly thereafter, none of the made guys flipped who can potentially talk about murders. So the feds indicted a few more guys (Licata and Fazzini) off the streets and added some more charges to Ligambi (no show job) and released snippets of some incriminating recordings while revealing Nicky Skins was wired up.

Now they just let all those guys stew at the Philly MDC without bail and have them think if any/who of the Philly guys will run to the government first to cut a deal. Remember, whoever cuts a deal first usually gets the best agreement.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out...
