That final bet by Greg Paloian paid off for nearly a year as he managed to stay out of prison to fight a malignant brain tumor.
That final bet by Paloian paid off for nearly a year as he managed to stay out of prison to fight a malignant brain tumor.
A Facebook picture of the one-time mob bookie showed the usually jovial Paloian seeing dollar signs, which federal investigators long said was a fitting photo for a man who made millions in sports gambling profits for the Outfit. They won that legal bet -- most recently having his prison surrender date delayed to next February -- even though Paloian and his team knew that it was a surrender he probably would never make.
In the end, U.S. District Judge Joan Lefkow handed Paloian two-and-a-half years in prison, leaving the career bookie to wonder at the time whether it would turn out to be a death sentence for gambling.
