Somewhat related but seems the Pellulo's (Leonard, Arthur and his son Sal) have been associated with both Scarfo Sr and Scarfo Jr going way back. Arthur is still a boxing promoter in Philly. Leonard pulled the 'takeover' scheme back in 1986, long before Salvatore and Jr. did it in the FirstTrust takeover. Phil Leonetti testified at trials for both Leonard and Arthur in the late 80s and 90s.
