Nick Cosmo Had Extensive Mob Connections

Charlie Gasparino just broke the news that most recent ponzmaster Nick Cosmo of the $370 million Agape World ponzi, had extensive mob connections. Turns out Nick had a gambling addiction problem and owed a lot of money to loan sharks working for the Genovese mafia, and allegedly the Gambino family paid off around $139,000 of these debts on Cosmo's behalf. Also, former mob member Mike D'Urso, currently an informant for the government and in the witness protection program, apparently had tried to collect (or "shook") the money from Cosmo on behalf of the Genovese.
