14 people have been arrested in a Mafia-led sportsbook scam in New Jersey. This, in a state where it's been legal to gamble on sports for 7 1/2 years.
The Lucchese crime family, led in this operation by Joseph "Little Joe" Perna, bankrolled a number of illegal sportsbooks, some of which were actually run by college athletes in the state! Some athletes have been arrested, but no word on names or schools they had attended.
Well, this one's a little different. As noted above, sports gambling has been legal in the state over seven years, now.
The biggest story in this is when we find out which college athletes are being accused of running Mafia sportsbooks in New Jersey. Talk about a double life!
