Thanks for posting. The Borello saga is a little confusing to me, I can't understand why the judge didn't throw the book at him. He clearly isn't gonna change his ways and that fake ass letter from the roofing company in Florida was a slap in the face to the court. Normally in these situations with rats we see the feds begging for mercy and the judge is the one who comes down on them but here it's the reverse, really weird.
I'm also surprised that Cutaia only got 20 years for a RICO with such a brutal home invasion where a woman was tied up and tortured! Here in Canada you would get a very light sentence for a similar crime of course but as I understand it they take it very serious in the US when you break into someone's home and confine them. I remember watching those "Lockdown" prison documentaries or whatever in Netflix and they showed guys getting decades for that. I remember seeing multiple guys who got life for that in California, I also recall an 18 year old kid getting 60 years for the same crime in Indiana. I get that these are state courts but when you look at how brutal the sentences mob guys get sometimes for chickenshit crimes from the feds this is a head-scratcher. I guess it was some kind of global plea deal or whatever to convict a whole bunch of guys and they were willing to compromise.
