WHERE IS "GOOD OLD JOE"?
We all know that Mr. "I've reformed myself" Joe Mammana is sitting in prison right now. Violation of probation, money laundering, tax evasion, using his company to hide money and setting up "dummy vendors" to obtain cash illegally.
However, since his arrest it seems that NO ONE has heard about him. Where is he? What prison? If you remember, the head of the Columbus, Ohio Crime Stoppers was beaten by Joe's "cronies" because Joe wouldn't pay up after they found Julie Popovich's killer. I have contacted this man, but have not received any answers.
If anyone has any insight or has knowledge, please let me know. There are many who are wondering where he is at, how long he is going to be sitting in prison and what his fate is.
Read here regarding my immense disappointment with Joe after he snowed me over with his sociopath ways of being "sincere" and reigning me in like a lame horse.
PHILADELPHIA — Federal prosecutors contend a businessman known for pledging money to help track down criminals has pocketed $3.2 million of income over the past several years while not paying federal taxes since 2000.
Court papers allege Joe Mammana diverted millions from his Yardley egg farm into his personal checking account and four other business accounts to avoid income taxes.
Mammana has been "lining his pockets and accumulating luxury cars and a luxury house with the proceeds of his business, all while refusing to report this illicit income to the IRS," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in court papers Friday.
The court filing requested Mammana be kept in custody while awaiting trial on recent gun charges. U.S. Magistrate L. Felipe Restrepo granted the request, denying bail because he said Mammana was a flight risk.
Mammana was arrested on Thursday, the day after authorities found a loaded handgun in his home during a search for evidence of possible mail and wire fraud, according to an arrest warrant.
He has a lengthy criminal record that includes convictions for aggravated assault, larceny and narcotics violations.
The felon-turned-philanthropist has offered reward money in numerous high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba last year and the death of Julie Popovich, whose skeletal remains were found Sept. 1 near an Ohio reservoir.
Mammana is embroiled in a lawsuit with an Ohio crime-stoppers group that alleged he reneged on the reward offered in the Popovich slaying. The head of the group, Kevin Miles, is also suing Mammana, saying someone with a baseball bat attacked him and told him to drop the lawsuit. Mammana said he had nothing to do with the attack.
