I think he's a scumbag.

That (and the other things I saw) is so light on details.

Sounds like alleged securities or wire fraud -- him and partner took in money from investors for a discount resale ticket business of some sort.

Rough couple of week for sports radio types between Russilo, the KJR guy and Carton.

Reminded again how well-written Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe was on "Fraiser."

This sounds a lot like some of the stuff Ragu posts about being involved with.

I'm relieved to see him posting this morning.

Loved Levy's response when they busted him. "I was there for a massage."
lol

God, I can only hope they can find another New York area sports talker to replace him on the national TV show. These New York types are in such short supply. The rest of the country can't get enough of these guys. They are utterly fascinating.

You can always listen to LeBatard, Bomani, or Stephen A. They are not from NY yet provide the same clever and informed analysis as their New York peers.

I'm not sure Le Batard could be any more different than an NYC sports radio show.

It always surprised me how many guys with the prefix "New York" or "Brooklyn" - Joe, Tommy, Vince...do sports talk far away from Gotham. The accents seem to get thicker the farther away they are from the 202 area code.

“Boomer and Carton” co-host Craig Carton was busted Wednesday morning by feds on fraud-related charges, sources said.

Who wrote this? Vinnie from Queens?

212 is so old school. They recently introduced 332 to go along with it and 646 and 917 (cell phones).

Someone should get a statement from Chris Christie.

Especially about 230 miles northeast of there.
