1. Are they looking for the guy on the right?

2. Who is?

4. The wannabe-mobsters have been connected to

Abramoff and DeLay.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

7. Abramoff the lobbyist (and mobster?) is the guy on the right.

It's the scandal stemming from Abramoff that has led to the arrest of the chief procurement officer of the Bush Administration. And is still growing.

The guy mentioned in the original post had business dealings with Abramoff and was murdered afterwards.

3 Charged in Killing Of Fla. Businessman
Boulis Slain After 2000 Abramoff Deal

Fort Lauderdale police said yesterday that they charged three men in the 2001 gangland-style slaying of a Florida businessman who was gunned down in his car months after selling a casino cruise line to a group that included Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis was killed on a Fort Lauderdale street on Feb. 6, 2001. Two of the three men charged had been hired as consultants by Adam Kidan, one of Abramoff's partners in the SunCruz Casinos venture.

Boulis, millionaire founder of the Miami Subs sandwich chain, sold SunCruz to Abramoff and Kidan in September 2000, at a time when Abramoff was one of Washington's most powerful lobbyists. Abramoff and Kidan were indicted last month on charges of wire fraud and conspiracy in connection with a $60 million loan they obtained to purchase the casino company.

Abramoff is at the center of a federal investigation into lobbying for Indian tribes and influence-peddling in Washington. Abramoff used contacts with GOP Reps. Tom DeLay (Tex.) and Robert W. Ney (Ohio) and their staffs as he worked to land the SunCruz deal, interviews and court records show.

Scandal Visits the White House

The Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal reached into the White House yesterday, picking off President Bush's top procurement official -- who just barely had time to resign before being arrested.

The federal charges against David Safavian stem from his tenure as chief of staff of the General Services Administration, predating his arrival at the White House a year ago. But his arrest nonetheless draws renewed attention to the ongoing corruption and influence-peddling inquiry swirling around Abramoff, a lobbyist well known for his connections to conservative Republicans in the White House and Congress.

And for a White House so desperate to build public confidence in its ability to respond to the Gulf Coast disaster, it doesn't exactly help that the man who up until Friday was overseeing contracting policy for the multi-billion dollar relief effort has now been charged with lying and obstructing a criminal investigation.

R. Jeffrey Smith and Susan Schmidt write in The Washington Post: "The Bush administration's top federal procurement official resigned Friday and was arrested yesterday, accused of lying and obstructing a criminal investigation into Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff's dealings with the federal government. It was the first criminal complaint filed against a government official in the ongoing corruption probe related to Abramoff's activities in Washington.

6. Please tell me about the program.

I would love to know. Thanks.

[lcordero2]

8. they were asking for info that would lead to an arrest or

conviction concerning Gus's murder. They were pointing out the three main suspects as mob wannabes with territorial disputes.

[NYC]

12. Were the three main suspects

Mosciatello, Ferrari, and Firillo?

If so, haven't they recently been arrested? (Is the program old or a rerun?)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Yeah they were arrested earlier. Maybe they are looking for

anyone who witnessed the crime to give evidence against the mobsters.

Anthony Moscatiello, 67, identified by authorities as a former bookkeeper for the Gambino crime family, was arrested Monday night in Queens, N.Y. Anthony Ferrari, 48, was arrested in Miami Beach. Both were charged with murder, conspiracy and solicitation to commit murder. James Fiorillo, 28, was arrested in Palm Coast, Fla., yesterday and charged with murder and conspiracy.

14. Those 3 may have hired a hit man.

I can't remember the name. Possibly Nicholson, or possibly Nick something. I didn't bookmark it, but read about it in the past few days. They don't know where he is, and he hasn't been indicted. (He may be talking.)
