A New York man schemed with alleged mob figures to fix an NCAA college basketball game by offering players thousands of dollars, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
"I mean, why not?" Amato Jr. answered."You talk about everything else on the f------ phone, and you’re an idiot." "Ok I wouldn’t trust the game I was telling u about” and “I’m not touching it personally[,]” Amato Jr. wrote, according to court documents. Among the others arrested Thursday were 11 men identified by federal prosecutors in court documents as members of the Colombo crime family, including alleged captain Joseph Amato and Daniel Capaldo, also known as"the Wig" and"Shrek." They were hit with racketeering charges and other offenses, according to the Brooklyn federal prosecutors.
Prosecutors uncovered emails from Amato in which he attempted to instill fear in his then-girlfriend by boasting about the resources at his disposal, according to court papers.
