How do you get rich? You don't pay your bills then you hire a two-bit lawyer to sue the guy you owe money to.
In 2004, Scarfone and others were sued by BB&T for:
"The lawsuit alleges that four separate loans were made by BB&T -- two to Greensboro Professional Sports LLC in 1999 and 2000, and two to Triad Professional Sports LLC, both in 2002. The loans ranged from $91,000 to $400,000. According to the lawsuit, as of Sept. 18, 2003, the total in principal and interest owed to BB&T was $742,234. "
The article continued:
"Then in September, the city took over all operations of the Generals, including everything from paying player salaries to selling tickets in order to keep the team as a tenant at the coliseum."
Coincidence? Or was Scarfone blackmailing Greensboro leaders to get him off the hook?
And yes, the City got sued as well. Rocco Scarfone got out and stuck the taxpayers with the bill.
Character assassination? Some may accuse me of that but there are plenty in Greensboro who are accusing Rocco and his Jersey boys of people assassination . But not me, I never saw them kill anyone yet.
Yes, the assault charge against Rocco Scarfone was dropped but that's because all the witnesses were on Rocco's payroll.
Shootings? There was the shooting at LAX Gentleman's Club (a strip joint) and the N Club were within about a month of one another.
Speaking of shootings, 5 people were shot outside Scarfone's N Club in 1 incident in October 2011. Were any of Rocky's Jersey boys involved? And who owned the other 2 clubs where shootings took place outside? Is there little doubt that Scarfone has a history of promoting violence in Greensboro?
Here's one that's good for a laugh. But it pretty much tells you the mentality of the man we're dealing with-- a man who thinks he can get away with anything and flaunt it in front of the entire world. From the Miami SunSentinel:
"It didn`t take long to track down Rocco "Rocky" Scarfone, one of the beefcake attractions with the Chippendales all-male revue. Scarfone was interviewed by The Miami Herald when he auditioned with the Chippendales at Art Stock`s Playpen South in Oakland Park. The story and a picture of him appeared on the front page of the paper`s Living Today section on Feb. 3. So after a grand jury in North Carolina indicted Scarfone, 25, on extortion charges and five counts of fraud on Thursday, detectives from the Metropolitan Organized Crime Intelligence Unit knew right where to go. "That article said we could catch his act three times a night," said an undercover detective who asked not to be identified."
And just in case you're still wondering if Rocco really is from a mob family? From the same article:
"After taking Scarfone of Sunrise into custody, detectives went to a Ramada Inn in Hollywood where his parents were staying. They arrested his father, Carmine Scarfone, 52, who also was named in the indictment, police said.
Scarfone`s mother, Constance Scarfone, 48, was charged in two Dade County warrants charging fraud, police said.
Authorities in Boone, N.C., said the Scarfones operate a business there and are accused of threatening an individual. Details of the charges remain sketchy."
That's right, his father and his mother were arrested and charged along with Rocco on multiple charges in North Carolina and Florida. Like I wrote in Rocco Scarfone Partners With Councilman Zack Matheny: Greensboro House Of Blues:
"In other words, our Rocco is and will always be a gangster."
I rest my case Mr Rossabi, you are now free to present yours. That is, if Rocco still has any balls.
Of course, Scarfone and Rossabi were hoping they could simply scare me away. They thought that when I got their letter I'd panic and do what Rocco demanded. Well guess what Rocco, this story is going viral. Somehow I don't think Jim Romenesko, still a part time member of the world famous Poynter Institute is going to be scared of Mr Scarfone's two bit lawyer. As for Rocco's Jersey boys-- they only work for pay and Rocco is about to become very poor.
And while it might be possible that some of Scarfone and Rossabi's claims of defamation will be proven in court, most of what I originally wrote is very much true and in threatening me, Scarfone and Rossabi have violated my rights as protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Hey Rocco, have you ever asked to see Rossabi's credentials to determine if he ever really went to law school?
See you in court,
