IMO I think Joe Ruggiero paid his way in somehow with the Patriarca's. I just find it odd he has all these " legitimate " business's in Fall River, etc but has never been pinched or anything. The only time you ever hear his name is having to do with business deals he's done. To me it smells like a buy in. No facts to back it up just my opinion from a distance. I hope New England doesn't get too butt hurt.......
