Sun-Times file Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to hand a stiff prison sentence to a bookie with purported mob ties, insisting he tried to sell a “fantasy” to the judge about a fun and fair gambling ring that, while illegal, aimed never to exploit anyone. In reality, Assistant U.S. Attorney Terry Kinney wrote in a court filing Wednesday that Gregory Paloian and his agents hounded gamblers for payments as they lost tens of thousands of dollars, and even prompted one gambler who couldn’t pay his debts to “burst into tears.” Kinney wrote that Paloian and his agents referred to gamblers in the ring as “goof, goofball, idiot, ‘f*&#%g little pu$%y’, little c&%*sucker and other descriptive monikers.” Paloian also allegedly referred to one gambler as “an annuity,” a “dumb f#%k” and “an idiot and he pays.”
