Jimmy during happier, more Bat Mobile-y times

  • Jimmy during happier, more Bat Mobile-y times

Update: Jimmy Dimora was transported — lugged? carted? wheeled? shipped via UPS? — yesterday to the FCC Butner prison in North Carolina where he will serve his 28-year sentence. No Carolina BBQ is safe now.

His lawyers had requested that location because of its medical services and Dimora’s slew of health issues, which may or may not have included being a very fat man who ate only pig lard for two decades. (WOIO)

Oh, and if you haven’t read Jimmy’s letter to his “friends” and associates asking them to contribute to his legal fund to wage an appeal, you really should.

When U.S. District Court Judge Sara Lioi sent Jimmy Dimora away for 28 years earlier this week after a two-day sentencing hearing, it was the final wrap on the centerpiece of the Feds’ lengthy investigation into corruption in Cuyahoga County government. Since exploding with a bang one morning in 2008, the indictments and trials were notable both for how extensive and unfettered the illegal activities were, and for how low-rent, nickel-and-dime it all seemed in the end.

Unsurprisingly, Dimora remained defiant to the bitter end.

“I have no regret or any type of reservation,” he said, reading from a prepared statement and crying just before the sentence was handed down on Tuesday. “I did what was in the best interests of Cuyahoga County residents in my mind.”

  1. Was Jimmy the last of the Cleveland, Mafia wana-bees? I did not hear of Jimmy having anyone knee-capped. But then. Who’d know? I would like Jimmy and Frank to do a late night radio talk show about being in prison after being a big boss of the white-collar underworld of Cleveland and area. They could play some good prison hill-billy music like Folsom Prison or ‘chain gang’. I would like to see Frank and Jimmy do ‘Cool hand Luke’ or ‘Bird man of Alcatraz.’ Now here is the question all of Jimmy’s fans are interested in: Will you gain or lose weight in prison? Will you start lifting weights and fighting with inmates and guards? Will Frank do the Warden’s taxes and accounting like in Shaw Shank?

  2. Late Nite with Jimmy and Frank…Starring..Jimmy Dimora and Frank Russo.
    Question: Will you guys have Tiki Huts while in the big house?
    Jimmy: Yes. And a pool and maybe even babes and steaks.

    Question: How many women have you banged or had any kind of sex with? I mean, are you up with like Charlie Sheen or Wilt Chamberlin?

    Jimmy: I’m Italian. We all have big cranks….Except for Fanky!! LOL

  4. Question: One more question for you, Jimmy. Can you have someone like me bumped off from inside the joint like those big Dons and shit can?
