In the biggest Mob-connected case of recent years, Danbury garbage mogul James Galante pleaded guilty in 2008 to multiple racketeering charges in a wide-ranging, price-fixing scheme tied to the Genovese crime family. He was sentenced to 87 months in prison.

He also owned possibly the greatest minor league hockey team ever! The Danbury Trashers! By greatest, I mean most entertaining.

I actually work for the company that bought Jimmie's old company now. We found anti-listening devices in the ceiling and some of the employees were here when the feds raided the place.
