Double cross in mob tied hot dog beatdown: victim busted when he seeks payoff from thug turned-snitch
A Bronx hot dog vendor is facing jail time for taking a bribe from a Gambino associate--whose crew had roughed him up for not paying protection money, authorities said.
Robert Sirignano, 60, told Gambino thug Pat Lombardo he'd forget the beat-down if Lombardo paid him $15,000, prosecutors said.
"I will drop the charges if you pay me five thousand dollars now and ten thousand dollars next Tuesday," Sirignano told Lombardo in Sept. 2009, according to court papers. "I will tell the DA you didn't do anything to me."
But it was a classic double-cross: Lombardo had become a secret government informant and set up the bribery sting with authorities, sources said.
The case against Lombardo and two associates-- who were accused of beating Sirignano with a hammer and torching his hot-dog van in Aug. 2008-- were dropped a short time later.
Lombardo and pals Robert "Bobby Fingers" Francella and Gregory Monzeglio all have long rap sheets ranging from murder to assault.
But Sirignano, who had a loaded .45 Colt Derringer pistol in his hand when he met with Lombardo, is the only one still facing charges.
The new details emerged during a hearing in Bronx Supreme Court Tuesday, where Sirignano's lawyer voiced his disgust with Lombardo.
"They (the district attorney) say he's moved away and is nowhere to be found," said lawyer Steven Kessler, who claims his client was entrapped.
It's not clear whether Lombardo is helping the government with other cases.
First and foremost this is total bullshit about Lombardo the true story is that piece of shit Bobby hotdogs lent a woman with his piece of shit partner Kenny frank an ex new Rochelle cop that got kicked off the police department for having sex with a 15 year old girl in the back of his cop car then went to prison a few years after that for selling drugs. That’s Bobby hot dogs partner they were selling coke and lending money out of his hotdog truck. They lent some money to a woman at 10 percent interest a week they lent her $5,000. And she was paying $500. A week interest! She was doing this for 7 weeks and then she asked them if she could skip one week because she had to buy her son school clothes Bobby and his partner Kenny frank told her come down to the hotdog truck and give us a blow job! She then went to Lombardo and told him this Lombardo told her not to worry about it and don’t give them any more money. After she told them that they had someone set her house on fire at 2;00 a.m. in the morning. Lombardo’s rule is never lend money to a woman give it to her. Lombardo went down to the hotdog truck and told Bobby and the rapist Kenny frank that she owes you nothing get it from me! So Bobby the rat called the cops and lied about getting shaking down. After those pieces of shit Bobby hotdogs and Kenny the ex cop frank had the woman’s house set on fire and she has a handicap son. The next day Bobby was beaten and his truck was burnt to the ground! Then he called the cops and had Lombardo and his 2 friends arrested for assault and extortion. So who is the fucken rat??? Bobby fingers get sent back to prison on a violation Lombardo and Greg got out on a )250,000 bail . Lombardo had his phone number changed and Bobby hotdogs called him the same morning it was changed! Bobby hotdogs had an order of protection against Lombardo, Bobby fingers and Greg. When Lombardo got the phone call from Bobby hotdogs Lombardo said to him how did you get this phone number? Hotdogs told Lombardo don’t worry about how I got it! If you want me to drop the charges on you and Bobby fingers and Greg give me $15,000. There was a wise guy sitting with Lombardo when he got the phone call from Bobby hotdogs . He told me as soon as I hung up with him to call my lawyer and tell him about the phone call that I just got. I said why and he said because hotdogs is setting you up. So Lombardo called his lawyer and told him about the phone call and Lombardo’s lawyer told Lombardo to have Bobby hotdogs go to his office to get the money. Hotdogs told Lombardo no you give me the money so Lombardo met hotdogs and gave him $5,000. Then the asshole Bobby hotdogs went to Duncan donuts on Boston road in the Bronx and ordered some stuff and when he took his money out of his pocket to pay for his bill he had his gun with his money and a Bronx cop was behind him and arrested him for the gun ! When he was in central booking he also got charged with extortion. Lombardo gave him the money that his lawyer gave him to give to hotdogs Lombardo never new anything and he NEVER testified against ANYONE in his life!!!! The rat Bobby hotdogs who had Lombardo Bobby fingers and Greg arrested! Then when Lombardo got out on bail hotdogs truck was burnt to the ground!! Not that Lombardo burnt it down 😀
