Unbelievable! With Vinnie the Torch's previous record of fraud, why would any judge sentence him to 3 years probation with time half served at home under house "detention"? That must really hurt Vince's feelings that the Judge was such a meanie. Did the Judge decide it was too harsh a sentence to have Vinnie write a hundred times "I will never commit another fraudulent act again in my lifetime"?


Oh well, there is still the insurance fraud pending.

Vincent A. Locastro, who took $545,872 through check kiting and identity theft, will have to pay it all back and serve three years probation, half of that under home detention, U.S. District Judge David S. Cercone decided Thursday.

Mr. Locastro, 47, of McMurray, was accused of using a trusting friend's name and Social Security number to get financing for nine luxury automobiles. He told the judge he "violated a dear friend's trust" and wants an opportunity to go from being "a good man" to "a better man."
