Speaking of NYDN investigative journalist, @graham_rayman, he reported a couple of days ago that NYC SBA treasurer, Paul Capotosto, was ousted from the SBA board..

...Missing pieces of the NYC SBA scandal are falling in place after I read this excerpt from a NY Daily News story about former SBA treasurer, Robert Ganley, stepping down in 2017...
...The NYC SBA changed CPA firms some time after June 30 2014 from Furman & Hauswirth to Salvatore Armeo , a resident of Howard Beach w an office in Garden City. (The NYC SBA has a June 30 year end)....
...Stick w me. The 2015 NYC SBA WCF 990 was signed & dated by Mullins & Sal Armeo in March 2018 although it was due in March 2016 including the six month extension to file...
...At the time, Sal Armeo, was under investigation by the FBI for falsifying Dept of Labor filings on behalf of Rocco Fazzolari, former president of the Long Island-based United Industrial & Service Employees Union Local 122...

...That the NYC SBA Widows & Children's Fund didn't issue a 990 for the years ended June 30 2015, 2016 & 2017 until after treasurer, Robert Ganley, resigned from the SBA is another giant red flag (I only reviewed the SBA WCF 990s)...
...Until Mullins was indicted, I danced around the question of whether there was financial malfeasance by the SBA WCF board in connection w fundraising linked to the murder of Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo in Nov 2016..

...This might be the crux of an even bigger scandal involving the NYC SBA, the NYPD, the FBI & the DOJ. Charges against Sal Armao were mysteriously dropped. Didn't even lose his CPA license. My guess is Armao had an ace in the hole - Ed Mullins...
...Instead of being a the good guy w a red pen, I suspect Robert Ganley leveraged his knowledge of what Mullins was up to to land a cushy spot working as an NYPD deputy commissioner for administration...
...The way I see it, the last thing the DOJ, the NYC FBI & the NYPD would have wanted in 2018 is to have the very vocal Trump supporting leader of the fifth largest police union (13k members) in the country indicted for stealing from the SBA Widows & Children's Fund....
...If I'm right, it also explains why the DOJ indictment against Mullins is confined to charging him w filing phony expense reports. There's no way in hell the SBA WCF paid out $525k in COBRA expenses for the years ended June 30 2017-2020...
https://twitter.com/mrspanstreppon/status/1490026315226963968
...Looks to me like ED Mullins & the SBA board had to plug a shortfall of more than half a million dollars in the SBA WCF so they made up a fake line item, COBRA contributions...
...Say I am right & the NYC FBI & the NYPD did collude to cover up the extent of corruption in the SBA. Want to argue they wouldn't have colluded w GOP operatives to time the revelation of the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal to inflict maximum damage on HRC's campaign?
Addendum: I suspect the NYC PBA Widows & Children's Fund doesn't directly benefit widows or their children but someone else can ask Patrick J. Lynch about it. He didn't respond to my query via Twitter...

Correction: Charges against Sal Armao weren't dropped per PACER. See subsequent thread for details.
