I don't know how the federal system operates, but on a state level I've had my attorney squash my priors if the DA files a "Prior Bad Acts motion" to show you have a record, but sometimes that's kinda stuff can't be brought up

All that is speculation about mousie financing drug deals. they were trying to get the fellow that got caught at the airport to rat on mousie but he took a plea deal and got sentenced already to 96 months cause he said it just wasnt true and he wasnt gona lie Thats what im saying there two tough dudes, but after having done so much time in the past and after sitting in there for another year, they wanna talk, I think we've seen cases come out of this before in the past

Also George Anastashia wants to give everyone a little tid bit at a time to keep his fan base up. I mean hes gotta eat too! The way Anastasia talks about the Philly mob, that tone of voice like hes enjoying himself too much makes him look like someone who wishes he was with them. He probably even tried to ingratiate himself years ago and wasn't accepted! Well, he has been beaten by Ralph Natale and you all know about that fool. He did slip up saying he did at one point emulate those guys in a citypaper article. Even though on most segments he claims its the wrong decision for guys of that enviorment to make.

This is a pretty good counterargument by the feds, and given the new evidence of mob meetings with the gambinos attended by ligambi and co that was brought to light by the nicky skins tapes then i think the feds argument would be further strengthened. "Prosecutors are expected to argue that all the charges detailed in the indictment are tied to a criminal enterprise headed by Ligambi. Two codefendants, Joseph Massimino, 61, and Anthony Staino, 54, have been identified as part of the organization's ruling hierarchy. Massimino is the alleged family underboss. Staino, according to the indictment, bragged in a conversation secretly recorded by an FBI agent working undercover that he was the "CFO" (chief financial officer) of the crime family and a member of its "board of directors." Those conversations and others, in which codefendants identified Ligambi as the boss of the family and said the money being generated went to "Uncle Joe," are expected to be cited by prosecutors in countering Jacobs' assertions."

This is from the most recent indictment, these charges (which you can read detailed in the indictment) set out the racketeering conspiracy pretty good IMO "The second superseding indictment alleges that for more than a decade, 11 of the defendants, including Ligambi as the acting boss and Massimino as the underboss, as well as other members and associates of the Philadelphia LCN Family in Philadelphia and New Jersey, conspired to conduct and participate in the affairs of the Philadelphia LCN Family through a pattern of racketeering activity and through the collection of unlawful debts. The alleged racketeering activity includes numerous acts involving extortion, extortionate extensions of credit through usurious loans, extortionate collections, illegal gambling, witness tampering, and theft from an employee benefit plan. The organization's collection of unlawful debts allegedly relates to its loan sharking operations and debts that arose from their illegal gambling businesses. According to the second superseding indictment, the defendants promoted and furthered their illegal money-making activities through violence, actual and implied threats, and the cultivation and exploitation of the Philadelphia LCN Family's long-standing reputation for violence. The defendants also used this reputation to intimidate and prevent victims and witnesses from cooperating with law enforcement. The second superseding indictment alleges various instances where defendants used phrases such as "chop him up" and "put a bullet in your head" when threatening victims. In one instance, Canalicho allegedly used a bat to beat a victim for not paying a loan debt. The second superseding indictment alleges that some of the defendants continued their racketeering activities even after being sent to prison. For example, Borgesi and Massimino, while in prison, allegedly generated criminal proceeds for themselves and the Philadelphia LCN Family by using intermediaries to operate criminal businesses and to make extortionate demands at their direction. Each charge of racketeering conspiracy, collection of unlawful debt, collection of extensions of credit through extortionate means, making extortionate extensions of credit, financing extortionate extensions of credit and witness tampering carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The illegal gambling and theft from an employee benefit plan charges each carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The Canalichio thing is dificult for the prsecution cause i dont think they have a victim that they can put on the stand that will say they got hit with a bat or assaulted for anything related to LCN activity, he was just simply talking about it on tape and secondly he was a fighter all his life and none of it was mob related. Ive been in a bar or two, years ago when this guy was around and he simply is an uneducated goof.

You just cant throw a bunch of mumbo jumbo out and hope it sticks! The public can believe what they read but in court they have to PROVE it Obcourse your right, i wouldnt put it past the govt to have somebody to testify about that beating, whether it was the victim or not. BUT traditionally the govt employs this tactic, throw a bunch of charges at a guy in a mob case and the jury will think he HAS to be guilty of at least something because why would the govt charge this guy with X number of things. a few months ago there was a guy on the forum who claimed he was damion's brother and he was dispelling rumors that his brother had flipped.
