Back on the street: Faraci, D’Apice
May 1, 2010 - 9:11 am
Former Crazy Horse Too shift managers Vincent Faraci and Bobby D’Apice continue to make news several years after the closure of the mobbed-up Industrial Road topless club.
Faraci was recently spotted in New York, where his father, “Johnny Green” Faraci, was once one of the city’s biggest loansharks. Mob writer Jerry Capeci noted the younger Faraci’s presence.
Meanwhile, D’Apice is scheduled for release Monday from a federal correctional facility in Phoenix after serving his 41-month sentence in connection with the vicious beating of Kansas tourist Kirk Henry in September 2001. Henry’s neck was broken. He is a quadriplegic.
And I suspect D’Apice will be flat broke when he returns to the street.
Not so his former boss Rick Rizzolo, the ex-Crazy Horse Too owner who, as my Sunday column reveals, is still living the high life in Las Vegas.
I wonder how many of the men who pled guilty in the global settlement of the Rizzolo case now regret doing so and are having a difficult time earning a living.
I can’t begin to understand what goes on in Rizzolo’s head, but I wonder if he’s ever paused to consider this point. His debt to the Henrys would be reduced substantially if he just gave them the cash he’s been doling out to a string of attorneys of various levels of courtroom acumen.
