Tommy Farese just get pinched for healthcare fraud?

[Johnny1and1]

How long did he get? I remember reading it was pretty stiff if I'm not mistaken.

2 nickels concurrent, and one nickel consecutive. So 2034. Texarkana has a camp and a minimum security. I heard he got camp, but I don't know how to verify that. If it's camp, he cut a very good deal, for reasons already mentioned, excepting the one consecutive nickel. He's out of jeopardy for everything he did up until the plea, and they dropped NJ and NY since that's still ongoing.

Is he yappng? Speculation is no, but we'll see.

This is connected to Trugs. Trugs was introduced to this firm through Savastano. This is all Tampa. Trugs lived in SE Fla.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/florida- ... agrees-203

The above is all verifiable.

What you'll have to decide is true or not is that they got permission from Tampa. I know that to be true, but there is no way I can verify that part.

If it came from Tampa, then you are alleging Loscalzo gave the orders?

The side show:

Big John Mamone (Snitch Pig) is at FDC Miami, release date unknown. That's easy time. His kid isn't in custody yet. There are a couple of big picture takeaways in both Big John and Rey's deal.

The big show:

Paul Savastano cooperated big time as per my "speculation" in post #98. I suspect this could still be ongoing as the Judge gave less than the recommendation. He's at FCI Maimi, and released in 2025 I think. I think he's at FCI Miami becuase the Feds spell his name with an S at the end of it, and without an S at the end of it. More about this later.

Cirri and Defonte haven't showed up yet on BOP, and I suspect they are cooperating. It's ongoing, and I suspect they won't show up until after the Fed's dispose of Mix and Gatto. They plead out almost immediately so draw your own conclusions.

Minor misspellings are pretty common in Florida. For a long time the Colombo's (and Tampa) had people inside the driver's license issuing office, and for a long time minor spelling corrections were easy to get done on driver's licenses. It goes back to when the Turnpike was controlled by a joint Colombo / Tampa operation. What is shocking to me is how wildly inaccurate the Fed's are even with basic things like names.

I'm now not as convinced about the above quoted portion. The only cooperation the Feds have admitted to in the case of DeFonte is that he plead quickly, and gave notice he would. Cirri isn't so clear.

Trugs is a separate issue as he's been tested, which doesn't guaranty anything, but at least I know he's been stand up and also did time previously without yapping.

This is based on filings that are either are, or should be available very shortly. This doesn't mean there aren't additional filings delayed and/or sealed.

This would further what I heard about it stops at Mix and everyone is holding tight. It's possible Cirri, Trugs and Defonte fell on the sword. What also remains true is what I mentioned about the not knowing, and that not being a comfortable place to be.

I'm a bit conflicted on what to think. I'm going to revert back to what I was told, and go with that. That's largely always been correct when it matters most. But my instinct when things like this happen is to imagine worst case scenarios, and that's an instinct that will probably never go away. Like my friend Sal says, "And you want to be fucking Italian." Spot on for some folks. Maybe I get bored one day and I'll explain why you don't in the context of what Sal was referring to, and what I am referring to. I'm not sure anyone would care as it seems the daily updates on the Colombo situations is me pretty much typing to myself. Which serves a purpose for me anyway.

Interesting. i wish I still had some connections in law enforcement regarding the potential Tampa angle. Veeery curious about the Turnpike, es since I work in the engineering/environmental consulting field. Aand while I currently work in water, not transportation, my previous firm was very transpo-heavy and I have a good handle on the ins and outs of FDOT

They controlled the concessions/vendors. I'm not sure about construction, and have no first hand knowledge, but that wouldn't surprise me. That goes back a ways, and I suspect you knew, met or wrote about some of those guys. A lot of that is before my time. I was coming down at the end of that, but my purpose and need to know was pretty narrow back then. Over the years the trust grew, and now we tend to be more open about stuff and especially stuff past the SOL.

The fake DL's scam hit the newspaper, but I've never been able to find anything on that. I know people got pinched. That's more recent. They had people inside. I was going to get a FL DL, and was told that was over, and probably best if I didn't ask about it.

They got better at things in recent years. They have people inside FL, and it is similar to sanitation in NYC in that regard. The example is they were in rehab houses all over Fla, and they were tipped off that was getting looked at. They all got out. It got looked at, and a bunch went down. None of the boys went down though. Same thing with mortgage fraud. We all knew that was coming. The gambling is still large, it's paid for, and protected. Multiple poeple in the know are talking on the state level, and maybe even the federal level.

Remember when the Sheriff went down? He was acquitted and Santo paid the defense costs. I thought I mentioned that to you. That was all over the newspapers also. Except the part about Santo paying the attorneys obviously. I'm pretty sure if I asked some of the older guys they probably knew who your paternal grandfather was. I've not asked, and I'm not going to ask.

Keep posting I enjoy reading your posts and waiting to see what happens lol have you ever heard of Gus Crocco? Runs a bunch of rehabs in southern florida, pompano area.

[Tonyd621]

Not many people on here have the insight you do J1 so it's difficult for us to add useful context. Too many people on here use fbi documents, who the govt designates as a soldier in a doj a press release etc. And me personally I don't always buy it because I was in the military (never worked in LE and never will) and seen first hand how govt twist stuff around to fit narrative. So your commentary is welcomed and breathe of fresh air imo

Not sure. He has a goatee? Facial hair doesn't mean anything everywhere, but it does some places. FWIW, I wear a goatee also. Non verbal meesage just like my shoes. My instinct is that Gus is straight.

IMG_0676.JPG

My non verbal message. I have Italian driving loafers in orange, pink, red, and all sorts of non traditional colors.

Military? One of the first significant risk/reward choices I had to make was be in trouble, or join the military. I joined. I got shot at. I know how I react to that. The second choice I made was to take what money I had and go legit. I miss bookmaking and cash. I don't miss paranoia and everything else that goes along with it. I always understood being careful and business, I never had the personality or character traits to keep taking risks, or do time. Other guys are numb to it.

Yes he has a goatee he owns and operates first step rehabilitation facility and others in so flo. I was there personally for 2 months lol and he would brag all the time about all the mob guys he “used” to know. Always wondered if he was connected or involved in any way. Big hot head. His claim to fame is that he was so tired of being a coke head he drove his $100,000 Porsche purposely into a tree and tried to kill himself and that was his “spiritual awakening” lol I call bullshit and he’s all about the $$$$$

It's not hard is that area to either know, or have known gentlemen.

I think I know who the guy is. Again, my instinct is that he's straight.

Are you sober? For how long?
