The NHL manages to get into bed with yet another crook

I mean, would you really want to do business with a guy named "Boots" Del Biaggio?

This is the guy who helped to "save" the Predators so the Weasel Commish could keep the team in that hockey mad market of Nashville.

A new lawsuit accuses San Jose investor William "Boots" Del Biaggio III of scamming a New York bank out of a $10 million loan so he could buy an interest in the Nashville Predators hockey team.

The suit by Modern Bank of New York... brings to $17 million the amount Del Biaggio is accused of obtaining by using brokerage accounts that weren't his as collateral for loans.

None of the loans has been repaid, according to the lawsuits.

Wife's pretty hot though. Well, actually they're separated now so he's a two time loser.

Gary was just hoisted by his own petard and Balsillie is enjoying every minute.

John Spano, Boots.

Bruce, I believe you know John.

 

I wonder when the indictments will come down.

 

I thought there was something somewhere on it.

What's even more pathetic is that I posted on the thread.

Senior moment, boys and girls.

 

Apparently he was scamming the money in order to pay her plastic surgeon.
