I have a new vending machine for the prison .It dispenses a tube of preparation H for a dollar to soothe your stretched and torn rectum. Have fun in prison. Call 1800 drop dead to order your machine. Big profit opportunities.

The rest of the rest of the world is staying away from torrents due to the very high risk of viruses. Not worth mucking up your PC to get a $10 movie for free

Rocco was my brother and I can tell you that He was a hard worker and was a great family man. If you want to talk about scum bags than lets talk about Government officals taking money from Rocco lying all the while. My brother I beleive could have been murdered for all I know. All I know is he was a good business man and sometimes people can get involved with the wrong people. People sould respect the greiving family.

I was there during those tapings and went to prison for other companies, so understand that a lot of statemnts made for the recorders were bravado. they were not the truth. Money was dangled in front of you for business purposes and people said a lot of things that were exaggerated. Everybody involved (read between the lines) uses oters for monetary or political gain. NO ONE deserved the sentences they were given except the super rat Mishkin who played ball with the right people and will do no real time. Its a travesty
