OT: The NYC Mafia in Madison, MS

[FreeDawg]

Found something very interesting in Jerry Capeci's weekly column that came out Thursday. There is currently a Lucchesse Crime Family case in federal court in New York where the hit on Purple gang leader Michael Meldish is the biggest charge among a slew of charges in the indictment. The first lead on this murder was a Lucchese wiseguy, Frank Pasqua III, flipping in 2015. His grandfather was a made Gambino member, his dad a made guy in the Lucchesse family, and he was the 3rd generation in a line of drug dealing mobsters going back to the French Connection. It was reported that Pasqua III was recently arrested for the 2nd time on drug dealing charges since flipping and couldn't be used as a witness any longer. Wait... there was a 1st time nobody knew about?

Here's where this week's column get's interesting and a new detail emerged that caught my eye. The Feds relocated Frank Pasqua III in 2015 to no other than Madison, MS where he was arrested for selling heroin.

The specifics of the new drug charge against Frank Pasqua III, who flipped four years ago after he was arrested for heroin dealing in Mississippi, are unclear. But law enforcement sources say he was snared in the new case early this year. Whatever the circumstances, this latest bust is likely to put an end to Pasqua's already shaky status as the government's key witness in the high-profile mob rubout. And it's only the most recent trouble for a government prosecution that has been snake bit from the start by questionable witnesses and faulty theories of the crime.
Pasqua's current drug charge is the second for the 39-year-old drug-abusing mob associate since he agreed to cooperate with the feds and was returned to New York within months of his March 2, 2015 drug dealing arrest in Madison, Mississippi.

After a little digging it's alleged that Pasqua III went under the alias "Anthony Bianco" so he might have went by that in Madison. He was arrested by Madison PD for herion dealing and booked on his government name so that leads me to believe that his federal handlers moved him to Madison but he wasn't officially in the Witness Protection Program. Good work by the Madison PD getting this guy out of town.

That’s not how the drug trade works. You NEVER get drugs off the street, different people just step in. Legalize and tax.

People truly don't understand the amount of tax dollars that are wasted every, single, year, on this farce. Jails are so overcrowded that people sleep on the floor regularly. Especially in MS. And all the young peoples that could vote or run and change things are leaving because the state is in such terrible shape from all sides.

If we spent half of the money used to seek out, set up and incarcerate people on actual mental health facilities, I think there'd be a surprising drop in addiction rates.

But more importantly, our crime rates would plummet.

I'm with yall on the mismanagement of drug policy but this guy has been involved with murders. The drugs are the sideshow. It's wild to think there was a mob guy involved with murders, who the government hid in Madison, MS. The only reason we know he was here is because MPD busted his dumb ***.

I don’t think we want to Legalize Heroin do we? I’m all for legalizing ganja but not smack.

Yeah, weed should probably be legal and it will happen sooner than later. Of course, once that is legal, there will be those that want to legalize the next thing.

As far as putting people in mental health facilities, I think we had those in one form or another and they were shut down by the same people that are advocating for them now.

I might get behind the argument for selling weed. maybe. But heroine and cocaine? Come on now.

 

[PBRME]

Heroin has spiked in MS and surrounding states in the last few years. Did the feds bringing him here open up more avenues of distribution to this area?

 

[FreeDawg]

I don't think the Feds brought him here to do anything but hide him for a bit until they got some stuff ironed out but he was such a degenerate he dealt junk and got caught. Sammy the Bull did the same thing establishing an exstacy ring in Arizona while he was a CW for the feds after the Gotti conviction.

 

[tatedog]

I can see why they'd relocate him to Madison. He blends right in.**

 

[WilCoDawg]

I’ll never understand why a person would willingly choose to stab their own veins. Nothing about that imagery makes me think “that’s a brilliant idea!” Eating or smoking something is so much less violent compared to going all Norman Bates on my own body.

 

[PBRME]

Wasn’t saying the feds brought him here for that. Was saying the irresponsibility Of bringing him here unmonitored caused the unintended side effect of introducing new suppliers and distribution.

How many times a day you think that dude has to shave?

 

[FreeDawg]

You’re 100% right and that’s the issue with these guys. They never change. They get dropped off in suburbia to continue on their criminal activities. And they lie so much to investigators and in court the cases often unravel.

Legalize and tax heroin and selling of heroin? Are you 17ing serious right now? Did you even read the OP?
