Earns millions a yr. 60yrs old. Clearly around a long time, likely not his first bid.
What else do you want.

If they want money, picking on guys like Villani is not the way to do it. It goes to show how far behind the 8 ball the govt really is, if seizing assets is the name of the game now

It might be a good strategy, actually. Criminals are far more likely to stop committing crime if they don’t reap the financial rewards. Now that the mob is less violent it makes sense to target them financially.

I also think if Villani was making that much scharole at his level in food chain-you got to think the powers to be are sitting just fine. The yt rats or whoever else who says the mob is dead. Sure, certain aspects. But the money making opportunities are still lucrative. Chierchio raked in a ton, Laforte the same. The money making aspect of the mob is alive and well imo. I know I'll get pushback but that's just my thought

For a few years now, Luchese wiseguy Anthony Villani has been the owner-operator of a very popular new wave juice bar business, Gang Land has learned. He sells fruit juices, smoothies, and fruit bowls of coconut, pineapple, and wildly popular acai berries and pitaya, a cactus-rooted, so-called "superfruit" from Central and South America that is now grown all over the globe.
