Wait a minute.
This was in the DU thread, "Manhattan DA tells..." It is interesting enough to separate out and discuss it.

It doesn't look good for the Dem leader, but keep reading at John Rosatti's reported background. Yikes! Josh Lorence is the husband of J. Aileen Cannon--you know who she is. He worked at BurgerFi International, Inc. He is a restaurant executive manager type of guy. BurgerFi was created by John Rosatti, the suspected mobster in the article. He was not a chef, or wait staff. He was higher up. That's the connection.
The other thread said John Rosatti is a lifelong friend of TRUMP. Here is a link showing associations with Trump, but I can't find the Rosatti one:

I think it is interesting. You know, years ago when Trump was elected, I was researching something about him, and discovered that Australia would not let him start a business there because of his mob ties. So, somebody somewhere knows something about him.
It would not surprise me if his bond comes from mob money. What do you have to do to become a made man in the mob? Get a reporter hacked up?
