"Robert J. Bolm, Gogolack’s attorney, said he believes “the feds” are trying to blame his client and perhaps Gerace for the woman’s death.
I believe that what we have here is an accidental overdose of a woman who was under tremendous pressure from the FBI. It’s a tragic situation, and the FBI is trying to make something more of it,” Bolm told a Buffalo News reporter at the courthouse."

"Gerace's attorneys have said he has been unfairly targeted by Tripi and the FBI. They said he installed surveillance cameras and took other steps to prevent any illegal activities at his business, Pharaoh’s Gentlemen’s Club in Cheektowaga.
But prosecutor Joseph M. Tripi, speaking in court earlier this month, said Gerace has employed members of a biker gang at Pharaoh’s as part of an effort to intimidate “vulnerable young ladies” who will be called to testify at Gerace’s trial.
Gerace has also described himself as “untouchable” because of his “law enforcement and judicial contacts” and because of his reported connections with “the Mafia,” Tripi said on Aug. 17.
Gerace has denied being involved in organized crime."
