^^^it doesnt matter if the money was mazzone and ligambi and damion was just collecting it, that makes him an accessory to the actual loan-sharking cause he is the one collecting the payments and probably giving it back to ligambi or mazzone

why is everybody so "surprised" on the background of this recent witness, orlando? who else did you expect to be called upon as a witness against the mob? a teacher, a nun? obcourse its going to be a scumbag who himself has broken the law (drug dealing, etc). That's the nature of the game, you make deals with whoever is willing to talk (ala Gravano) to get to your ultimate goal (ala Gotti) which is the conviction of the top echelon of the Philly LCN.

This case hasnt even gotten warmed up yet, just wait till they start bringing out the Nicky Skins tapes, surveilliance footage (photos, videos), bent finger lou, pete the crumb and gene milano, ligambi union health care fund records, fbi agents, etc.

They are just laying the groundwork right now. It hasnt even gotten good yet.
