When I was in therw ith him he was in the evidene room where you can listen and read all the wiretaps and whatever the u.s. has on you. He had alot of shit I mean 10's of thousands of not only wiretaps but transcripts and etc. He told me personally that Spisak, and the other three rats was going to rat on him. Who besides that was Luisi and guess who ??? Yes the unthinkable Leonetti Why? IDK but that was from Rico's own mouth. They had what sean cote said before he OD'D, Their evidence, His voice on wire, the rats which had heavy participation throughout the war and the convictioins of the other co defendants which makes it harder to beat unless you are not involved as much or little to none involvement. Rico sold drugs and some of the users sooperated, he def extorted and tried to extort which some extorties admitted,... I dont want to see him go to jail for a day because I know him and like him but they have proof. The coverage was horrible ...If I didnt know who I know and from where I am from I wouldnt know shit....With that said I wish he did beat it but that whole case and people involved was to sloppy almost like a street gang the way things was happening and the crazy thing, they has experienced knoweldgable people who knew better and couldve actually had a real war as far as organized, sanctions and profecciency . It was pretty sloppy. The feds did like they always do ..Bugs rats wiretaps and they dont need much but a jury from rich towns like wellesly, Duxbury lexignton and Belmont and a easy conviction for the U.S. attorney. Sorry because I hate the feds and law enforcement but it wasnt that hard for them in this one.. And I hate to admit that at all..
