K1ng- nice find on the Esposito picture.. Where did you find it if you dont mind me asking? I have been searching for over 3 years and i find a lot of pictures!! And are you 100% that it is Eric Esposito that was indicted with Uncle Joe and them back in 2011?
Stevie - Yes, I'm sure 110% that it's the right Eric Esposito. It's actually kind of funny how I found the picture. I needed a picture of him for the Philly chart, and like you, I couldn't find one of him anywhere! I did countless searches all over the internet and then just happened to stumble across his name and picture one day when I was looking for something else.
The picture of Esposito actually comes from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. He is excluded from every casino in the state, and that is how I found the picture - from Pennsylvania's exclusion list. I also found Ralph Abruzzi, Nicholas Cimino (associate), Andrew Micali (associate), Vincent Procopio (associate), and Jack Buscemi, Jr. (associate) on that list, as well. There may even be others on there; I just skimmed over it real quick.
Here is the link to Pennsylvania's Exclusion List:

http://gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov/files/exclusion/eric_esposito.pdf Esposito's page contains the following information from the Gaming Control Board that allowed me to confirm that it was him:
On February 24, 2014, Mr. Esposito was convicted on Conducting an Illegal Gambling Operation and Aiding and Abetting Illegal Gambling. On May 28, 2014, Esposito was sentenced to 27 months imprisonment, followed by three (3) years of probation. Esposito also patronized Commonwealth Casinos between 2010 and 2014 and was issued Reward Cards from a Casino located in Chester, PA and Philadelphia, PA.You can see his conviction date and that his sentencing date was May 28, 2014. This following press release from the Justice Department, dated May 28, 2014, gives information about Philadelphia mafia soldier Eric Esposito and his sentencing information. The press release also gives his age as 43, and the exclusion list has his date of birth as 1970 (no month/day listed).
