Amazing how little he has been fined for all his scams
This 2005 article below has Vince paying a total of $41,000 for a guy who scammed people for millions.
I wonder if they are also looking into the three arson fires at All Pro. mretgnol on the CMKX board said there may be a charge for his unlawful use of a police badge and that Locastro's home is for sale.
do you recall the guy from Youngstown that was also involved along with Vinny and Ray Anthony? I seem to recall his first name was Robert
I remember something about that. Could you refresh my memory? There's the Rock Hill Bank incident, too. If I recall some of that money ended up in Italy.
Call 4 Action learned that in 2002, LoCastro and others were charged with civil fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission for misrepresenting All Pro's business potential to possible investors. He voluntarily paid a $25,000 fine and did not admit wrongdoing.
Pennsylvania State Police say LoCastro has paid roughly $16,000 in fines since 2001 for citations issued mostly for paperwork violations at his automobile business. Police say the first two citations involved more than 140 customers.
A state police fire marshal said arson damaged a sport utility vehicle early Friday at All Pro Auto Mall on South Central Avenue, Canonsburg.
Canonsburg police are not certain whether the suspect had plans to set more fires after finding a gasoline can outside the temporary offices of the dealership.
A man riding his motorcycle in the area about 2:57 a.m. smelled smoke and saw the fire, said police Chief R.T. Bell.
Canonsburg found a 2003 Ford Expedition with its front tire, quarter panel and hood on fire. Chartiers Township police Sgt. Charles Harton used a fire extinguisher to put out the fire until Canonsburg firefighters arrived to take over the scene.
Canonsburg police Officers James Saieva and Carl Fetcko could see a pour pattern on the right side of the vehicle. A burned match was on the roof. The vehicle had been purchased Wednesday at the Butler Auto Auction.
Police checked the dealership. A rolled-up sticker that had fallen off a gasoline container was found in the lot. Found inside the bed of a pickup truck parked two blocks away from the burning vehicle was a motor oil can containing gasoline.
A gasoline spout along with a plastic gasoline container was found in front of the trailer used as an office.
"We don't know if they planned to set the building on fire," Bell said.
Police also found a half-dozen vehicles in the lot sprayed with red paint.
The owner of the dealership, Vince LoCastro, told police that he was unaware of any specific vendetta, but did provide the names of three people who were giving him problems about their vehicles.
This is the third arson at the dealership in just over three years. In June 2004, two fires on consecutive days destroyed the offices and several vehicles. That investigation was turned over to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. No arrests were made.
Anyone with information on Friday morning's fire or who saw suspicious activity in the area may call Canonsburg police at 724-745-8020, ext. 39, or state police at 724-223-5200.
