Yeah I think you're right. Nicky Crow and the Scarfo guys tried to shake Down Joe Vito in the 80s and couldn't make it happen. Joe Vito doesn't want anything to do with the mob... Too much heat and you're right he's taking huge bets mostly white collar types not $100 street guy bets and he's got s national network not just Philly...
I think he had a NY connection (not that he was connected) but a family friend, relative from not sure which but it was mentioned somewhere on this board one time that shut the crow and others down.....pretty sure the feds dug up his yard and found millions buried around his mansion up on the main line
