You know the saying "Wish in want hand, shit in the other, see which one fills up first".

The feds may be barking up the wrong tree with this guy. I know he's linked to a lot of guys, but he's a local, and they must know he's a fan-boy. How much did they disclose to him directly, or indirectly? The mob loves guys who come to them with a scam to make money. He's one of those guys. Use em up and discard when drained.

Maybe I'm wrong though. He could have been told things and kept it under his wig, I mean hat, for all these years.
