Paciello is a legit tough guy. Back in Miami, a known rat, and openly confronted one "Skinny"Joey Merlino at a Heat game. Merlino is the reputed Boss of the Bruno-Scarfo Crime Family based in Philadelphia/South Jersey.
This is true, for a short primer on an interesting story try the New Times reporting -http://www.miaminewtimes.com/related/to/Chris+Paciello/ .Start from the bottom up, The "Goon Over Miami" series is very good.Here's a bit more on the Quinn part -"Michael Quinn never saw the blow coming. The five-foot eight-inch, 270-pound former Mr. Universe was sitting in the nightclub Liquid with a young couple the night of June 25, 1996. After the woman, who was white, borrowed a hat from a black man, Quinn told her to "give the guy his hat back." Then BAM! A beer bottle slammed into Quinn's face. The bodybuilder struggled to stay conscious, but he crumpled to the floor. Then someone repeatedly kicked him.The bottle-wielding attacker wasn't the cap's owner, Quinn recounts. It was Liquid proprietor Chris Paciello. Quinn, who now is ashamed at having used the racist term, sued the nightclub and Paciello in 1996. The trial was scheduled to begin this month, but on November 23 a federal grand jury in New York indicted Paciello for robbery and murder. Prosecutors say he was involved in a mob-affiliated gang, known as the Bath Avenue Crew, that was responsible for a series of brutal murders and robberies in the early Nineties.Paciello's connection with gangsters may explain a few things. Peter Mineo, Quinn's Fort Lauderdale attorney, says a witness to the attack suddenly disappeared. "We're having a hard time locating her," Mineo says. "She had agreed to give a deposition, but she never showed up. Someone overheard her telling a friend that Chris Paciello offered to bribe her not to testify." Another explanation for the witness's reticence comes from champion boxer Vinny Pazienza, who is a friend of Quinn: "I got a call from an acquaintance. He told me to tell Mike to back off because these are bad people and something could happen to him." (Paciello's attorneys declined to comment on the case.)" .
Never could figure out why people idolize these dirtballs..The mob is based on backstabbing and deceit.When a hit goes down, they pick the guys friends to do it so he won't suspect anything. And they do it...
the guys freind has a choice, kill him and everythings cool,dont kill him and the mob says we kill him then we kill u also.its a back stabbing business,they talk about honor and loyalty but there is no such thing,its about money,power and eventually jail or death
