Gangster Willie “Potatoes” Daddono Sr. & John Joseph Rainone
Posted on 04. Apr, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
When Chicago Gangster Willie “Potatoes” Daddono Sr. armed a feeble Jewish man of the very cleaning service that feeds select members of the Daddono family to this day, I doubt he ever thought a person by the name of John Joseph Rainone would be getting a piece of the pie, even if that slice amounted [...]

Posted on 13. Mar, 2012 by Joseph Fosco in Announcements, Current Events
Sometime in the year 2009, a man contacted me via the internet identifying himself as a former police officer who was recently released from prison. His name is Joe Norris. When I asked him what he wanted with me, he explained “Dr. Joseph Giacchino destroyed my life.” While it seems highly unlikely that any readers [...]

It is purported that Chicago area pain specialist Dr. Paul Madison is using the old Melrose Park Clinic as an evening/suburb satellite office. Some receptionists at the Melrose Park office have recently reported that Madison charges $375.00 (in cash only) per appointment – no insurance accepted.

Vito Victorious With Five Year Sentence
Posted on 02. Aug, 2010 by Joseph Fosco in Organized Crime
Originally, I would have been happy to see Vito “Drumhead” Scavo demoted to lieutenant. Going to prison for five years and losing his pension is a fantasy turned reality. The funniest part is that Scavo should be going away for a lot more than just five years. If I could give Scavo one piece of [...]

Posted on 11. Jul, 2010 by Joseph Fosco in Current Events, Organized Crime
There’s nothing like a bad guy losing his money before going to the slammer, and with Vito “Drumhead” Scavo, the triumph is particularly sweet. Perhaps former Melrose Park, Illinois, Police Chief’s third and current wife will find a new moneyman after “Drumhead” moves in to his new federal quarters next month. Some believe the recent [...]

Where Is Dr. Giacchino’s Cash Fortune?
Posted on 03. Jan, 2010 by Joseph Fosco in Organized Crime
My sources informed me that Dr. Joseph L. Giacchino, Jr, MD, has issued over 12 thousand prescriptions for narcotic pain medicine in the year 2008 alone. I have further learned that Giacchino charges anywhere from $200 to $400.00 per visit (for scripts) and is mostly paid in cash. Once you do the math, you will [...]
