FBI Loses $101.7 Million Dollar Appeal

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The FBI treacherously framed four innocent men for murder four decades ago, in attempting to meet an arrest quota. Even after the FBI obtained evidence illustrating the men were completely innocent, they sat on it and let them rot in prison for 40-years. Two of the four men died in prison.

Recently, they sued the FBI and an appalled jury awarded them $101.7 million dollars in damages, for the FBI's treacherous misconduct. The FBI appealed the decision and lost.

Since when does the FBI care about money. They squander taxpayer money all the time, spending it like water.

Many millions in taxpayer cash given to the FBI to protect the nation, was misappropriated in acts of blatant theft and kickback schemes, regarding their failed computer system. Therefore, why are they up in arms over the verdict or is it the FBI doesn't mind money being blown, as long as they are the ones spending it.

The men deserve every penny. Actually, it is not enough, as the FBI stole something from them and their families that can never be replaced - decades of their lives spent in prison, filled with emotional trauma.

I am of the belief the FBI employees responsible should serve 40-years in prison for conspiracy, fraud, wrongful imprisonment and misprision of felony. The FBI is crooked and needs to be closed.

A federal appeals court upheld yesterday a landmark verdict for four men framed by the FBI in a gangland slaying, although the appellate judges said the $101.7 million damage judgment awarded by a lower court was “at the outer edge of the universe of permissible awards.’’

The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit said the 2007 damage judgment to the families of Peter J. Limone, Joseph Salvati, Louis Greco, and Henry Tameleo, believed to be the largest of its kind nationally, was considerably higher than any of the three appellate judges would have ordered.

“But when we take into account the severe emotional trauma inflicted upon the scapegoats,’’ the appeals court wrote of the wrongly imprisoned men, “we cannot say with any firm conviction that those awards are grossly disproportionate to the injuries sustained.’’...
