As part of their record-breaking mobster roundup last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation charged a member of the Gambino crime family with shaking down real estate investment firm Sitt Asset Management. According to the Post, the alleged mobster, Anthony Scibelli, was released on $2 million bail yesterday after being indicted on charges of racketeering and extortion of Sitt’s owners — Eddie, Ralph, David and Jack Sitt — between March and May 2007.

Victoria Gotti’s Long Island estate, where she and her sons were filmed
in the reality show “Growing Up Gotti,” is facing foreclosure. Gotti,
the daughter of Gambino boss John Gotti, skipped two years of loan
payments and will lose her home in Old Westbury, according to court
records. Gotti owes $650,000 to lender JPMorgan Chase, a debt secured
by a mortgage on the $4.2 million mansion she won in a divorce. Upon
taking ownership of the estate in 2005, Gotti immediately defaulted,
and JPMorgan scheduled an auction of the home, but Gotti persuaded the
bank to give her an extension on the mortgage with the condition that
she would pay $200,000 by February 2006 at $25,000 a month. Court
records show Gotti paid an unspecified amount of money, but then
stopped. The estate is currently listed with Century 21 for $3.2
million. [more]
