Chicago Outfit enforcer Mario Rainone freed from prison due to COVID-19 concerns

https://abc7chicago.com/mario-rainone-p ... wsXSftO46g


CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mario "the Arm" Rainone will be allowed to immediately leave prison after a federal judge granted him compassionate release Monday due to COVID-19 concerns.

U.S. District Judge Harry D. Leinenweber reduced Rainone's 15-year sentence on a gun charge to time served.

Although he's not infected with COVID-19, the court warned Rainone's "relatively advanced age and other health problems" could lead to "major complications" if he were to become sick.

Rainone, nicknamed "the Arm" for his skill at muscling those who have irked the Chicago mob, made a career as a gangland enforcer with a long history various mob rackets. He was doing time for a 2013 case in which authorities found him in possession of a .357 revolver, which, as a convicted felon on parole, was illegal.

In the order, Judge Leineweber writes that he believes the career criminal "likely poses no immediate danger to his community" because he "is optimistic that Rainone understands that given his long criminal history and his advancing age, he is likely to spend the rest of his natural life imprisoned if he breaks the law again."

In his motion for release, Rainone's attorney Joe "the Shark" Lopez wrote that Rainone suffers from a long list of health challenges: skin cancer, cataracts, liver disease, prostate cancer, heart and breathing problems, asthma, tinnitus, cataracts and a tortuous aorta in his heart, which can lead to high blood pressure, aortic insufficiency or premature atherosclerosis.

Rainone has been locked up at the Federal Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota.

He's did an interview with Gary Jenkins recently. Interesting stuff. Said he's met many well known and unknown Outfit guys (or something to that effect). Interesting, but maddeningly vague statement.

What if they’re just releasing these old mob guys that are potentially exposed to COVID, so they can potentially infect the other old guys who are still on the block and kill them off?

Thats a real long shot. First he probably has some years of restrictions, therefore having no immediate contact with any other associates or members. Who knows where this virus is leading to. He could catch it when he is out of prison. Im 62, look and act younger than that. Take blood pressure meds and metformin for type2 diabetes.Had a mini stroke in 2013. But at the same time I havent had a cold or flu since 2005. Kids and grand kids living with me in the house with all their colds and flu every year. Been working since Illinois has been on lock down. Go and do the same shit everyday, like always, only with mask. So you just cant tell.

I think that's as likely as D'Arco's conspiracy theory that the government gave guys cancer when they entered prison

If they can murder Jeffery Epstein in a Federal prison cell, and make it look like he killed himself with a thin strip of fabric, there is no telling what they’re capable of doing.

As much as I was only half joking when I made that post, yeah I do love conspiracies they’re fun lol

No, you right. But they don’t have to give even the slightest bit of a shit about him. My theory implies that they’re using him as basically a biological weapon to spread the infection to the rest of the old guys that are still calling the shots, so they can kill them off.

Of course, I was only half joking when I said that. But the more you guys make me think about it, the more I decide fuck it maybe something like that could actually happen.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He got a pass for turning around and not testifying. He didn’t put anyone away he’s in the clear as far as retribution
