meeting with little mario, guy is like 90....these old guys dont stop

Not surprising. They had a TON of evidence. I heard he would have pled out sooner but he was holding out hope for bail just to spend some time with his kids. When he lost his last bail hearing he decided to finally get the plea over with. He was never even thinking of taking this to trial. It's not a great deal, either. With his federal record the guidelines give him something like ten mandatory.

yeah he got caught on the Stefanelli tapes...looks like they may throw the book considering his past your right....the lesser guys only got a year or two

i dont think anyone will go to trial, Uva still holding out I think

He'll deal. It's in his blood .

So how many grains of salt we talking about on this one ??

You really gotta get off the fucking dope.

Last time I spoke to the "F'n Doctor" he was acting so salty everything cool Mr. Pizzaboy?

Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.

He's not that old, Cheech. He's exactly my Dad's age, and my Pop will be 84 this fall. But I understand what you're saying .

pizza joe has yet to plead out as well.

this case landed with the wrong judge to make deals with. add that to the fact that Jongbloed prosecuted him back in 03 too. I was surprised on the amount he agreed to forfeit (300K).

I am thinking he is looking at 5-7 years here. No violence, plus the case got messed up for the feds when their star witness committed a murder suicide.

maybe his kid, i saw somewhere he was 78 in 2009

most likely wrong info, it was from some chart

I agree about Jongbloed. He's a tightass, even as far as prosecutors go. He's one of the guys who truly believes he's doing "God's work." When he was working in tandem with Dowling and Sheridan (the agents who were assigned to put away Tony Megale back in late '80s), they were actually out of control. But I'll agree to disagree about the sentence. I say closer to ten than five. But time will tell.

And welcome to the boards, Pal .

That sounds about right. That'd make him born around 1930. My Dad was born in '29.

thats OLD! lol

No doubt. But it ain't 90 .

How many more people are getting nailed by these Stefanelli tapes?

the whole east coast for christ sake, cant believe this soldier knew so many people

.

45 and the head of southern CT, not bad.

When is Mengale getting out, lol...

Megale gets out next summer I think

Pizz does DePreta have the same kind of connections to the Bronx and Westchester guys as Tony Genius or not even remotly,

hgjv

im not 100% sure Tony but I would have to say yes considering his proximity of where he lives but I'll defer to PB

Because he's the Pope of Throggs Neck! PB when we playing golf? Merion this week I got extra tickets $250 a whop

It's not even close, that proximity to New York (which is overrated at times) notwithstanding. Tony was actually the official sitting UB at one point. So, come on now.

You have to remember, Tony has LONGTIME ties to the Bronx-Westchester faction of the Gambinos (which granted, ain't what it used to be), and truth be told he also has friends in the other two dominant families in that area. He was actually partners in a club in Morris Park back in the '80s BEFORE he was made. That's remarkable for a Connecticut guy who was only in his 30's at the time.

Now Dean's a great earner but I think you guys are reading waaaaaay too much into that "titular head of the Gambinos" comment made by an overzealous prsecutor. Back in 1990 when Tony went away on his first federal bid they said the same thing about Davy Crockett (the original Baldy up there), and it turned out that he wasn't even made (just keep that in mind when you read these online charts about today's Connecticut crew ).

When Davy finally went into WITSEC and allocuted to everything, the feds were forced to admit that the guy didn't even have his button (although he sure didn't mind letting people think he did). And this was also a guy that they labeled the "head of the Southern Connecticut Gambinos." Well, he wasn't even straightened out.

Dean's a good earner. A standup guy. He's been around Tony and Nick since he was a kid for God's sake. But he ain't Tony Megale. When Tony comes home next summer, if he keeps his stripes (and I think he will), things will revert back to him. By the time Dean gets out of prison, Tony will be well into his 60's. Maybe then you can talk about a succession. Until then it's just Internet chatter, which leads to rumor, which people eventually take as fact.

I'm sorry for being longwinded here, but you never know who's reading this stuff. And I wouldn't want the feds thinking Dean was responsible for things up there that he isn't responsible for because of speculation on a message board. I guess my point is that Fairfield only needs one boss, and New York knows it .

I put it the wrong way, i meant he must have some sort of relationship, wasnt saying the same as AM, thats my bad

No problem, Cheechee .

i get all the little jabs you throw at me and i find them to be hysterical, keep them coming

What did I tell you about mixing Oxy with your Cheerios in the morning?

Besides, I wouldn't play at a club that would have you. But you can always carry my bag. I'm a pretty good tipper, and God knows that your legal feels aren't going away .
