Garden City attorney Thomas Liotti, who has represented high-profile clients and helped remove a Nassau County Court judge, is looking to put an end to political party cross-endorsements of judicial candidates.

Liotti on Thursday filed a federal voting rights lawsuit against the Nassau Republican, Democratic and Conservative parties as well as the county and state elections boards, alleging they “conspired and colluded together to deprive registered voters of a freedom of choice in voting rights as guaranteed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments of the United States Constituion and the First Amendment’s freedom of association provisions.”

Liotti, who also serves as the Westbury Village justice, contends in the lawsuit that the parties’ cross endorsements “virtually guarantee” the election of candidates who have not previously served on the bench.

Liotti, who filed on his own behalf, cites the expected cross endorsement for Supreme Court this fall of Nassau Democratic elections Commissioner David Gugerty, also the Oyster Bay Democratic leader, and Christopher Ostuni, counsel for the Republican majority on the Nassau County Legislature and son-in-law of former Republican chairman Joseph Mondello, the U.S. Ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago. Neither Gugerty nor Ostuni have served as judges. Gugerty’s wife, Helene Gugerty, is a Nassau County Court judge.

Once elected, judges who were cross endorsed “are beholden to Party leaders and their committees; lobbyists, lawyers and litigants who have supported them,” Liotti wrote in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District. The cross endorsements also guarantee patronage employment of law secretaries, law clerks and other court personnel hired by the cross-endorsed judges, Liotti said.

Liotti asks the court to declare that cross-endorsement agreements are “illegal, unconstitutional and a violation of …. civil rights” and to issue a permanent injunction against cross-endorsements.

Liotti recently represented the estranged wife of former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato in a bitter child custody battle until Liotti was removed from the case by a judge who said Liotti hadn’t acted in the children's’ best interests. Liotti also represented former Nassau Legis. Roger Corbin, who was charged with tax evasion, and attempted unsuccessfully to enjoin Newsday and other media from using photos of Corbin in handcuffs. Liotti also filed complaints against former Nassau County Court Judge Marc Mogil, who was removed for improper judicial conduct.

An attorney from Nassau County last year filed a federal lawsuit to end the practice. The case is continuing.

Flight attendant turns to drug dealing after losing job amid pandemic

A former flight attendant who crisscrossed across Europe and posed in social media has been sentenced to 28 months behind bars for turning to drug dealing after losing her job due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to reports.

Alexandra Dobre, 27, moved to the UK three years ago from her native Romania to pursue a carrier as a flight attendant and was based at London Luton Airport, where she worked for several airlines, the Sun reported.

Her Instagram page is replete with images of her standing next to Wizz Air and Ryanair planes — as well as striking sultry poses in exotic locales and vacation spots wearing stylish outfits, bikinis and lingerie.

But her high-flying days apparently came to an end because of the global outbreak that cost her the coveted job, according to the news outlet, which reported that she met a man on a dating app who enlisted her as a cocaine carrier.

Dobre relocated to Stoke-on-Trent to carry on the relationship with the man, but that also came to an end when she was stopped by police acting on intelligence on Aug. 27 as she drove a Fiat Punto, the Stoke Sentinel reported.

“She was evasive with the officers about where she was living,” prosecutor Neil Ahuja said in Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, according to the outlet.

Investigators later searched her apartment, where they found 81 small bags of white powder that tested positive for cocaine in a bedside drawer, he said.

The 19.4 grams of the drug had an estimated street value of between $2,230 and $3,350, according to the report. Police also recovered the equivalent of more than $600 in cash.

Dobre pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply and sentenced to 28 months in the slammer.

“She was a flight attendant for a number of years, with different airlines. She was well paid,” said her defense lawyer, Paul Cliff, who added that Dobre was devastated when she lost her job.

“She had friends in the North Staffordshire area, one of whom was a nail and beauty technician, and came up to Stoke-on-Trent,” he said, according to the newspaper.

“Since her arrest, he has disappeared into the ether and she has not been able to contact him,” Cliff said, referring to the man she met on the app.

“She was plainly acting under direction. One of the terrible consequences of her offending is she will never work as a flight attendant again. It’s something she loved.”

He added: “She is not by nature criminally minded. She’s from a good family in Romania. She knows her family will be absolutely mortified that she has found herself involved in something of this nature.”

But the judge was unmoved.

“It was a class A substance, the consumption of which causes misery. You were an important cog in that wheel of the supply of this particular drug,” Judge David Fletcher told the fallen flight crew member.

Caesars, Apollo Make Takeover Approaches for U.K. Bookmaker William Hill

Talks are latest sign of global interest in the U.S. sports-betting market

British bookmaker William Hill WMH -11.63% PLC said it has received takeover proposals from Caesars Entertainment Inc. CZR 2.00% and Apollo Management International LLP, the latest sign of global interest in the growing U.S. sports-gambling market. 

Sports betting in the U.S. was booming before the pandemic, and the monthslong shutdown of casinos for social distancing this year underscored the value of online sports wagering for major gambling operators. In recent months, betting companies have spun off digital arms and made big investments into online gambling, activity that has been accelerated by the impact of the pandemic on retail revenue, according to analysts.

William Hill, a London-listed company that has become a major player in the U.S., said Friday that talks with the two potential suitors were ongoing but cautioned there was no certainty of a deal. It didn’t disclose the terms of the proposals. Caesars and Apollo both declined to comment.

U.S. commercial slot-machine revenue this year through the end of July was $9.24 billion, down nearly 45% compared with the same time last year, while casino revenue from table games fell 46% to $2.6 billion, according to the American Gaming Association, an industry trade group. Meanwhile, sports-betting revenue was up nearly 19% at $394 million, with more states having legalized the industry. Online casino revenue nearly tripled for the period, to $778 million.

Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia have legalized sports wagering since a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling paved the way for states outside Nevada to allow sports betting. Meanwhile, a handful of states have legalized online casino gambling. Analysts expect the roster of states welcoming sports and online gambling to expand in coming years, particularly as state lawmakers look to fill budget gaps caused by the pandemic-induced economic downturn.

William Hill shares rose more than 40% Friday, valuing the company at over £3 billion, equivalent to $3.82 billion. Under U.K. takeover rules, Caesars and Apollo now have until Oct. 23 to either make an offer for William Hill or walk away. Bloomberg earlier reported the talks with Apollo.

William Hill has been hit hard this year by the coronavirus pandemic, prompting it to permanently close more than 100 of its U.K.-based stores, which were already under pressure from increased regulation and the shift to betting online. 

However, one big growth area for the company in recent years has been the U.S., where it has sought to tap the burgeoning sports-betting market. William Hill US accounted for 7% of group revenue in the first six months of the year.

The U.S. online casino and sports-betting market is expected to grow to $18 billion in revenue by 2025, with the top three players in market share projected to be Flutter Entertainment PLC at 28%, DraftKings Inc. at 20% and Caesars at 12%, according to a Macquarie Research. Flutter Entertainment has the betting brands FoxBet and FanDuel.

William Hill already has a partnership with Caesars. Earlier this month, the U.K. company said Caesars had signed a deal with ESPN that would see its odds integrated into ESPN’s website and Fantasy app in states where sports betting is legal. The deal followed a similar agreement announced in February between William Hill and ViacomCBS Inc.’s CBS Sports that enabled the gambling company to seek new customers among the media giant’s audience.

“When you put all those pieces together—good brand, good media tie-in, good technology—I think you could end up with double-digit market share,” said Chad Beynon, Macquarie analyst.

DraftKings, a digital-focused gambling company, has a market capitalization of nearly $18 billion after going public earlier this year. 

Now, gambling operators are considering how to unlock the value of their own digital operations from the pressures of their retail business and how to make those operations large enough to be competitive, said Chris Grove, an analyst with Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. 

“The markets are sending a very clear signal right now,” Mr. Grove said. “Bring us an asset that has the opportunity to be a category leader, if not a category winner, in the legal U.S. online betting market, and we’re going to reward you.”

Councilman Ed Ambrosino sentenced to 6 months in prison for tax evasion

Former Hempstead Town Councilman Edward Ambrosino was sentenced Friday to six months in prison for tax evasion by a federal judge who said she was giving him “a substantial break.”

Ambrosino, 55, of North Valley Stream, had faced between 24 to 30 months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines before pleading guilty in April to a single count of tax evasion he was charged with in 2017 in what federal prosecutors said was part of a complex scheme.

“I’m giving you a substantial break,” Joanna Seybert told Ambrosino from the bench at U.S. District Court in Central Islip, explaining she didn't think a guideline sentence was necessary for punishment.

Seybert also ordered Ambrosino to serve three years of supervised release and ordered him to repay the federal government $254,000 in back taxes; the state $56,000 in back taxes; and to reimburse $700,000 to his former law firm.

“I express remorse…I express regret,” Ambrosino said before his sentencing, declining to comment afterward.

Ambrosino’s attorney, James Druker, of Garden City, argued that the sentence was appropriate given the amount of the tax fraud.  Druker said his client had already repaid most of the taxes, but did not have the money to immediately repay the law firm.

“This is yet another example of a public official on Long Island breaking the law, this time by failing to pay his fair share of taxes like every other citizen,” Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District, said in a release. “Ambrosino, a licensed attorney and elected official charged with levying taxes, abused his positions of trust and was himself a tax cheat."

A leader of the People of Praise, Craig S. Lent, said that the group was not “nefarious or controversial,” but that its policy was not to confirm whether Ms. Barrett or anyone else was a member. Mr. Lent, whose title is overall coordinator and who has belonged to the group for nearly 40 years, said in interviews that the group was about building community and long-term friendships, and that members have a “wide spectrum” of political views.

“We don’t try to control people,” said Mr. Lent, who is also a professor of electrical engineering and physics at Notre Dame. “And there’s never any guarantee that the leader is always right. You have to discern and act in the Lord.”

Stop scratching on holidays
Published: June 1, 2012

Off Track Betting in New York State has been racing into a crisis called shrinking revenue. Some people have spitballed a solution: Don’t close on holidays.
New York State Racing Law bars racing on Christmas, Easter and Palm Sunday, and the state has ruled OTBs can’t handle action on those days, even though they could easily broadcast races from out of state.
“You should be able to bet whenever you want,” said Jackson Leeds, a Nassau OTB employee who makes an occasional bet. He added some irrefutable logic: “How is the business going to make money if you’re not open to take people’s bets?”
Elias Tsekerides, president of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York, said OTB is open on Greek Orthodox Easter and Palm Sunday.
“I don’t want discrimination,” Tsekerides said. “They close for the Catholics, but open for the Greek Orthodox? It’s either open for all or not open.”
OTB officials have said they lose millions by closing on Palm Sunday alone, with tracks such as Gulfstream, Santa Anita, Turf Paradise and Hawthorne running.
One option: OTBs could just stay open and face the consequences. New York City OTB did just that back in 2003. The handle was about $1.5 million – and OTB was fined $5,000.
Easy money.
