I have known him for years but always kept an arms length, actually ran into this guy not to long ago. I had heard he had relocated but apperently he is still in Cook County.
He is a stand up guy but a bit of a loose cannon and loves to "wear it". Just wondering what impression you Outfit buffs on the site have of him.

I'll believe that when I see my envelope

You have a better chance of meeting God then ever seeing an envlope from me, but asking for one in person might be a good way of meeting him

I didn't follow it extremely closely, but I always thought the mobbed-up angle of the hired truck scandal was exaggerated.

From what I could gather there was one guy with mob ties out of a bunch of people who were prosecuted.

Well considering all the local media coverage noting that he was home confinement until New Years Day, one might assume he is indeed still in Chicago. If you've known him for years, where has he resided? He owns a few properties with Nick Lococo's son.

The media reports you are reading are a year old, he has been off home confinement for over a year now. As far as i know he "owns' no property at the moment, the properties he owned with Tony LoCoco were court ordered sold to pay fines and restitution.
Until I ran into him in Wheeling at the old Palwaukee motor inn I had heard he had relocated out east somewhere, but he told me that plan fell through, last I knew he was living in Oak Lawn. Rumor was he was paying bills for some white trash chick from Winnebago, but according to him he was just boffing her and giving "gifts" once in a while. If you know Johnny Quarters, this should come as no surprise, thats just how he is.

The funny thing is the guys who pulled off Silver shovel thought they were legit. They considered the payola "performance bonds" and assumed it was legal, but make no mistake, a cut of everything went to Melrose park, and to a lesser extent Elmwood Park
Johnny Boy was half ass connected before he did time, but he is more respected now becuse dispite offers to make it all go away, he never flipped. His problem is is to way to flashy and loud.

What are the chances that the horse mishap story is bullshit?

Nick the stick died in a horse accident like i'm Myer lansky

Word was it was Jimmy I who called for a hit on Lococo bc he fucked Jimmy in the hired truck scams. The Outfit certainly knows how to hit in this day and age.

No offense but it would be virtually impossible for a hit man to attack a person in a way that was consistent enough with a fall off a horse so as to trick a medical examiner.

These guys aren't expert assassins or anything.

Plus the mob generally puts a few in someone's head just to make sure they don't make it and cause a whole bunch of problems.

The idea that a hitman scared someone off a horse, broke his back or neck or whatever in a way that could fool an ME, then left the guy there, still living, is preposterous.

There was more than just one outfit connected guy involved.

As for Nick Lococo, I've never seen anything reported on his death investigation. All I've seen is articles from right after his accident and John Kass articles ridiculing the idea that an outfit bookie was riding horses on NFL Sunday. Who knows.

Lol @ Nick the stick's death being accidental

A dead man with broken bones at a horse farm does not equal a "horse accident"...get real.
There are not 10 people who matter in Cook, Kane or lake county who buy that story

He was not dead. He was on life support at the hospital.

People are killed on horses all the time.

I know it makes your life more exciting to think the insidious and ever-reaching tentaciles of the mob are all around us, but they're not.

A coroner would easily be able to tell the difference between someone who was killed in a horse accident and one who was hit with a hammer, had his neck broken, etc.

The reason there hasn't been a lot of "looking into it" is because there is no controversy.

Let's see, BBS wiseguy versus a doctor.

Call me a crazy but I think I'll go with the doctor's analysis.

IOn order to belive his death was an accident, you would have to beleive in timing and coincidence that only direct intervention from GOD could create.
There is no controversy, becuse anyone who knows anything about the situation knows it was no accident.

Look!

It lookz like all da witnessez wuz on da take...

I tells ya, da blackhand runs dis here city!

"People at the scene said LoCoco's horse was galloping quickly when it suddenly stopped, Nieland said."

"People at the scene"
Really?

I know. The reporter is probably on the take, too.

Or the people on the scene might have actually been "the boys" and the police and FBI were either too dumb to know or, more likely, were also on the take.

And then John DiFronzo bought Immobilare...

All I can tell you is, come to Cook County and talk to some people about this.
NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE beleives that it was an accident.
If by some chance you are right and we are all wrong, then Johnny Quarters, Nick's son, Pooch Pascuzzi, The Sabellas, and the entire Melrose park and Elmwood park crew have a personal guardian angel....TOO big a coincidence and the timing just TOO good.
It is the equivilant of beleiving Alan Dorfman committed suicide

No it isn't, because Dorfman was assassinated by masked assailants in front of witnesses. Nick Lococcoco fell off his horse in front of witnesses.

It's not really that hard to believe.

Frank Schweih and Gumba died right before the Family Secrets trial.

S**t happens.

Sorry....the odds of someone hitting powerball back to back are greater than this being times SOM perfectly for SO many...but if you beleive in miricals...carry on

Hey jonny u ever stop to think that maybe the horse was in on it?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... yeah, an Italian Stallion!

+1000

I have some ocean front property in Utah for sale...You guys wanna bid on it?
yeah..it was a "horse accident"
LOL

LOL @Nick the stick's death being accidental.

Da whole neighbahuud wuz in on da hit:

"Bystanders along West Pauling Road near South 80th Avenue outside of Monee called 911 Sunday afternoon to report that a man had been thrown from his horse, said Carl Nieland, chief of the Monee Fire Department. Paramedics found LoCoco facedown along the street and unconscious, Nieland said.

People at the scene said LoCoco's horse was galloping quickly when it suddenly stopped, Nieland said."

Dis Nieland sounds suspicious. Call ANP!

The fire chief stating what the witnesses claimed they saw....I don't get it.


John Kass is In on it too....he also thought it was suspicious. Was it an accident? Maybe/probably. On the other hand, a coroner decided that Drew Petersons wife's death was an accident and that she had slipped in an empty tub. We know nothing of the investigation involving Lococo and have only a few news reports that unnamed witnesses were there. Considering the circumstances and the individual involved, seems naive to discount the possibility completely.

Jonny you should stop assuming you can understand things by trying desperately to Google Chicago Tribune articles and why are you not finding the numerous articles in the Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune that note the suspicious nature of his death?

Because you are trying to prove a point about something you know nothing about...

Nick was a serious bookie in Bridgeport. When he went "horseback riding," it was on a Sunday between games. I was close to his brother Charlie. The family knew what happened.
