The article doesn't state if any of these guys are connected. Is this an LCN case or are these guys unfortunate to have Italian names?

9 people, including Michael Calabria, Joseph Calabria, Stephen Delpriore, and Ugo Gallo were originally charged in the 2017 bust. I seem to recall someone saying there was a Bonanno connection. All things considered, i.e. Italians, Staten Island, etc. there's probably a 95% chance of a mob connection of some kind.

Hell this is nothing. Based on the article, the guy selling the pills was only making a couple hundred bucks a month. He most likely is addicted to the pills and is simply selling them for a few free pills.

Is there an indictment or anything we can read on the case other than this article? The other guy who was moving the H may have been making a little more money.

Was mention of Gambino connection in 2017 with Manascalco

I think this was a different bust from the one above.

You gotta be a true scumbag to push these little blue addictive pills

[dack2001]

I don't think they are any better or worse than a coke dealer. Every drug is going to have people who get addicted and die, its just the opiates that are in the spotlight because doctors were prescribing them for pain.

Only absolute losers blame the dealers who are just trying to capitalize on some big money, it's called having some self control. I am so sick and tired of all these cry babies with no self control or accountability blaming the dealers. Enough of my rant about those losers, official press release from Eastern District of NY:

Yea your right I may be a little biased because I’ve had issues with them

This guy has to be trolling us. The real Anthony Comello who shot Frank Cali had been addicted to opiates assuming it Oxycodone... is this guy for real or a troll ? Lots of young people have had trouble with pain killers tho so if your not trolling I been there too bro. Life gets better.

[dack2001]

Gotta be screen name....shocked if the real racist murdering nutbag gets internet privileges in pre-trial detention.....i also empathize with anyone addicted. Those pills are something else when you're hurt, imagine they'd be twice as good when you're healthy.

AntComello has said before that he is not the real Anthony Comello.

[TommyGambino]

He first claimed to be a second cousin of Comello, strange lie

Most of the time it’s not the dealers fault. I got hooked on pain killers after back surgery and Dr’s were handing me prescription after prescription. I even told the Dr that I didn’t want anything that strong and his reply was that I would need them. I called the once and asked for something weaker and there was total silence filled by the nurse saying that we don’t hear that very much. I’ve thankfully been clean over 2 years now and have my life back. I lost a house, 2 cars but escaped with my family and my life. The doctors are the real threat to the public, when a patient asks for something weaker they should be treated like a normal person and not a freak and have the drug pushed on them.
