They’re yours,” Angelini said back, according to an account of the exchange in the affadavit.Angelini also told this co-conspirator that one of his former suppliers was murdered, and the potential new supplier agreed to give him $100 and cocaine in exchange for the oxycodone, according to an affidavit.
Months later, on April 8, Angelini and his contact from the motorcycle club began communicating again, according to the affidavit.
