Some background on Jaws Giorango, published in 2004 in the Chicago Tribune:Rep. Kirk responds to Giannoulias' contention that he "didn't know the extent" of the criminal activity of his mobster loanees with a visual aid, recreated below, of all the felons to whom Giannoulias awarded loans as the senior loan officer of Broadway Bank -- and that one not need to pull rap sheets to find the extent of these figure's criminal records, but instead open the Chicago Tribune.Broadway Bank Loans to Criminals

An April 2006 post of mine--after the primary for state Treasurer. Those questions still haven't been answered. And Alexi's story keeps shifting. Or something.Four elected officials may move out of a North Side office building after learning about their landlord's criminal background.
Michael Giorango has been convicted twice of federal bookmaking charges and was found guilty in January of promoting a prostitution operation, according to a Justice Department press release and court records. [snip]
In 1989, Giorango pleaded guilty to helping direct a south suburban bookmaking ring that used threats of bombings, beatings and robbery to collect unpaid debts. Nicknamed "Jaws," Giorango managed bookie parlors that moved periodically, as well as monthly floating "smokers," or casino gambling nights.
In 1991, while Giorango was in federal prison for the bookmaking case, he was convicted of additional gambling and tax violations stemming from his role in a separate bookmaking operation overseen by Chicago Heights gambling boss Dominic Barbaro. At Barbaro's several wire rooms, Giorango accepted wagers totaling more than $40,000 a week and settled up with customers, prosecutors said.
