Looks like after a definite lull during covid the bookmaking busts are starting to come back.

A Michael Praino from the Bronx was also arrested. Anyone know what's the relation to Philly member John Praino?

In the indictment it says the had a business called "Bronxville Playa Corp" "Pleasantville Playa LLC."
I mean I guess they are not one for being subtle. When you get away with running a sportsbook for 16 yrs you start to assume you can do whatever you want.
However, I'm going to check out Glassdoor or indeed .com and maybe I'll apply. It looks like a good opportunity.they might lose some employees

Capeci first announced it 2 years ago but Pennisi hasn’t commented on the upcoming indictment
These things take time to build but I doubt that DeSantis will reach the 10 year mark of him being the Acting Boss as a free man.

Red Faced Dave Schratweiser and George A. have been telling us for years and years of the feds looking to indict for old murders and take down all the Philly mob.

Hasn’t happened…

Pennisi isn’t a trustworthy source. I agree.

What's he said that's proven him to not be trustworthy? A lot of what he has said has checked out for example Ralph Balsamo being a captain. We had no idea about that until Pennisi said it and it turned out to be correct.

Everything he has said has checked out. These idiots just have a personal vendetta against him.
