S: No, Anthony, It's not like that. They got something for us!

TS: No capish. What are you talking about?

S: You heard about all those stimulus packages, haven't ya. All da big government money from Obama and them?

TS: Sure, who hasn't, but that's not simulating me"It looks like the banks are getting all that loot.

S: True, Ton, but they say they have a problem. They are worried that the families want a taste, want to muscle in on all the moolah. They say they have a crime problem inside the financial problem.

TS: And so they are turning to gangsters to help solve it? I don't get it.

S: Exactly. Who better to catch a criminal than a criminal? The FBI says that it fears that $50 billion is at risk from organized crime siphoning off some of the money they are printing.

That guy Sammy Antar, who got busted in the Crazy Eddie's scam wrote to the President to warn him that the mob wants a big taste from all the big government bucks that are sloshing around. He told him that if he doesn't act, all of this will come out during his second term, ruin his reputation and get a Republican elected. He says all the stealing will become his legacy for history. It could be worse than Watergate.

TS: Smiles, chuckles. Yea, I remember that Crazy Eddie store, they were all over Jersey.

He mocks their TV ads: � ���"Our Prices are Insaaaane!� �� �
