I see that Skinny guy was enjoying a beautiful day at the Boca Beach Club.

I dont know how to post but capeci wrote this week gonna be sweet global plea deals for all. Merlino will probaly do a few for the gambling but the ract. Rico charge is getting dropped.

Yeah pmac I saw that story and it was quite depressing

That bust IMO reeked of BS from the start .

millions spent , thousands of agents , prosecutors , judges , COs , hours for trumped up gambling nonsense

This was low hanging fruit for the bosses and the media, plains and simple, diverting resources from worthwhile union and wholesale drug cases. I know those cases are far harder , especially today & wiseguys using all sorts of fronts , LLC, outside counsel to hide their dealings. Even just being on them surpresses their dealings , in areas that matter . Especially drugs and with the sicilians likely running the Gambinos , big wholesalers all over Canada , Italian mafia becoming international wholesalers , seems something is likely going on with Italy , US and Canada.

The new AG just needs to stop with this gambling shit , it can't be stopped , it's accepted by the public and even though they are very easy to bring in , it has zero effect on the street , maybe a 1 week disruption if they are lucky .

I will say though the indictment was pretty funny , they actually included the panhandler violence in there , lol !!!, that is some hilarious shit , basically doing the cops job ( if a woman is harassed what normal person isn't going to get a little rough with the local junkie that consistently does it ) . Then the cream scam , I haven't seen details in this case but usually that is just signing up docs and patients to prescribe shit they shouldn't for a commission or cut . The clincher is then Eastern whatever the Fuck syndicate . Who made that one up ?? lol

Whatever LE supervisors were involved here need to go down to the evidence room for their new job.

Does the woman who was bothered by the panhandler actually exist or was she invented as a cover story?

I should beat up a random homeless guy or panhandler for arbitrary reasons sometime.

I never knew it was legal!

The mob - arbiters of street justice.

And @ DB

It isn't just gambling though. In cases such as this, gambling is almost always intertwined with extortion/drug dealing/fraud/violence/racketeering/all of the above.

I have seen Feds extort/ commit fraud and use violence on many family members that were so called connected to mob families.

You are just starting to see the truth coming out with technology and information trickling down to these folks that now know what's what .

Do you think they will release the wiretaps/videos ?

Out of interest, how come Philadelphia has such an organised crime history? (Sorry if that's a stupid question)

Because the Philly Camden and Atlantic City have been run by underworld since late 1800's

Philly leaders were right there with New Yorkers in Cuba , Dominican republic and other ventures .
This is why the old time gangsters were close with Philly , Atlantic City has been run by gangsters sine its inception .

These people also have there children meet and get married further embedding the life in generation after generation .

Most of our family's came from NY to begin with .

On the other hand, I read King of the Godfathers, and I find it hard to believe how Josephine Massino didn't have to go to prison. She was balls deep in mafia enterprise too, as I suspect a lot of the wives and children are.

Thick as thieves a lot of them.

Cirillio on the right

How the hell is Cirillo the head of a firm with a seat on the New York Stock Exchange? Or other way around, how does a Gambino Associate have a seat on the NY Stock Exchange? What am I missing here? Either he's the stupidest guy around getting involved when he's probably pulling in a football seasons worth of trading commissions on a weekly basis... What am I missing here? Is Cirillo as in Dom Cirillo of the Genovese? Dan Marino seemed to know him well enough in that Merlino musical chairs sit-down convo, but foreal what's this guy messing with bookmaking for if he's got so much legit money at risk?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloombe...cut-broker-ties

His trading days are over....

Lol managing a hedge fund is serious money but so is gambling! PS fuck that panhandler Moe get real. JK

Maybe the feds should dissolve the OC units and form a Panhandler's Rights task force!

Cirillo was basically facilitating trades for hedge funds. He was acting as a market maker. They make quite a bit of money, why he would get involved with gambling is a complete mystery to me irregardless of the gravy on top of his legit trading business.

It should come as no surprise by now that there are lots of people who like to rub shoulders with wiseguys; it's always been that way, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or poor.

Joey Merlino is milking Stan Stein for all he's worth.

Then there are the kids in Philadelphia who grew up with pictures of Joey Merlino covering their bedroom walls (like he's a member of NSYNC or something).*

*This is actually true by the way. I read there was a budding mobster in Philly who had pics of Merlino all over his room, can't remember if it was The Goodfella Tapes or The Last Gangster.

Turned rat

Really stupid as FINRA just shut these guys down so they are done

I can understand the temptation as a B/D is a betting agent that keeps his commission but just in a different market and obviously an unregulated market and the 2 don't mix . Especially in today's environment where just the allegation of inappropriate behavior will end 20 years relationship on the day of announcement . Everyone bets but u can't even an agent , my lord .

Anyway whoever works at Princeton Group is going thru pure hell right now as your job is done or will be and after MG Global the SEC is in their office now making sure they didn't take or comingle their client accounts , the fact that they shut them down before being convicted tells me some shady client accounting was going on there . B/D is a low margin business today in the cash equity side which it seems was their bread and butter. They mainly make their $ on their client balances but low interest rates have killed em .

Still Point 72 and Glenview are monster clients, especially point 72, Billions on showtime is likely loosely based on point 72 owner Steve Cohen - one of best equity traders ever but sec shut him down over insider trading

A Week In The Life Of Philly Don Skinny Joey: Shunning Pleas, Wedding Bliss & Who Is Anthony Cirillo?

http://gangsterreport.com/a-week-in-the-...nthony-cirillo/

For the first time since the 80's I just spent the last ten minutes talking to Skinny outside Wawa in Ventnor , he and his crew were heading to Eddies office .

I am guessing he is about to sign or set up his plea deal .

Following three big sub trays from Sacco subs in Ventnor for there lunch !!!


Let's see how long it takes for the plea news to come public knowledge.

You just walked up to him? How was he?

He recognize me , maybe could not place me but as soon I I spoke he knew .

He was standing in front waiting for the shop to open , he looked good as always looking around .


I did not see any Feds and I was looking the entire time .

He was just standing outside a Wawa before opening time and just waiting?

No wawa is 24/7 he was waiting for Sacco to open ...and he is very comfortable there he has and has had houses there .

Ironic it's right around the corner from Chris office and Jr. Old restaurant .

Isn't Sac O Subs where Billy Gambini stole the can of tuna down in Alabama and accidentally caught a muder case? His cousin Vinny had to come defend him at the trial too!

Yeah ! But different business!!!

Sacco 's are blood relatives of the famous White House sub shop in Atlantic City .

So, is he really 5 ft. 2 after seeing him in the flesh?

I first seen him in summer of 80/81 and he was tiny then and I guess he is 5'4 ish but yeah he is small .

His grandparents had a place on Georgia ave back in the day and a few cousins in duck town so he was no stranger to the neighborhood I was born in but way before him .

He has cousins in Ventnor and Margate and a godson in Ducktown so he was around a lot but I am older so he could of been hanging around before 80 with Jr.
