Recently I wrote 13 chapters in my series, I'm Being Sued By Rocco Scarfone after receiving a letter from Scarfone's attorney Amiel Rossabi claiming that I had published false and defamatory statements about Rocco Scarfone and that if I did not publish a retraction within 10 days he would sue me for "among other things defamation."
The story got a permanent link in the left sidebar and nationwide attention.
Now we learn that the City of Greensboro is subsidizing 2 events at Ham's Restaurant, owned by Rocco Scarfone, in downtown Greensboro to the tune of $4,000 in grants that will never have to be repaid.
The fact that Scarfone and Rossabi never followed through on their lawsuit pretty much proved they were scared of the discovery process that would prove Scarfone has been a lifetime gangster and participates in organized crime. And now your Greensboro City Council is again making payments to Mr Scarfone.
No matter what the excuse, payments to known gangsters are simply unacceptable.
