Favorite quote of the last week is in this article,

Bifalco first asked Amato if it was OK for him to “talk about this on the phone.”
"I mean, why not?" Amato answered. "You talk about everything else on the ----- phone, and you're an idiot."

Classic.

so the game wasn't fixed & the principles didn't bet on it

whatever these guys go on trial for, it won't be for this

Reminded me of those two wannabes in the Sopranos, who tried talking to Tony while he was peeing in the bathroom. I hated those guys.

Maybe conspiracy. I don't think the underlying crime need be committed to make the case.

Yup. It will be conspiracy because all the Feds need to do is to prove that 2 or more people agreed to commit a crime and made a positive step to try to do it. That's why the Feds love to charge people with it. You only have to try to further you plan to be guilty; you don't have to succeed in doing it.
