Okay, let's get started…… I've appointed Vincent Assante as our new consigliere. He'll replace Richard Costanzio and he's available for financial advice on any and all legal matters.
Tiffany, Tammi and I have completed the 2007 annual financials. Last Monday I gave the board members the 2007 financials for the legal businesses, which totaled $65,280,000 in profits off of volume of $304,800,000…. 21 percent. The legal businesses include Genovese Construction Inc. (GCI), Refuse Removal Inc. (RRI), the Carnegie Hill Spa and the legal portion of Big Apple Escorts.
We also have invested $1,000,000 in the new Biofuels Energy Program that David Dewher is handling. That is an investment that hopefully will earn us some nice energy related projects in the future and it also makes us look really nice to the general public. I have been making donations to several hospitals and educational institutions for that same purpose. The nicer we look, the less interest the FBI and the IRS take in us.
Our illegal affairs totaled a profit of $58,200,000 on a volume of only $81,800,000…. 71 percent.
You can see the major difference. Eoin's numbers racket was the plum, as usual, netting $42,000,000 on only a $60,000,000 investment which was supplied by the numbers players….. Eva Macy hit today on 111 for five grand. Eoin, I assume that you saw that and will pay her off personally.
Ernie's gambling gave us a nice $14,400,000 out of $20,000,000 in wagers. Excellent work on the spread sheets, by Ernie.
Easy Loans netted us $1,800,000. We've been gradually backing off the serious loan sharking operations there. Beating people up to steal their money doesn't work anymore and the protection racket draws the police way too often.
Big Apple Escorts brought in $3,000,000 and it's major gift is the fact that it manages to get top politicians and business men to help our legal business efforts along.
Overall we netted $123,480,000 on a volume of $386,600,000
Well over 100 million dollars has been transferred to our Cayman Island accounts and our balance down there is in excess of two billion dollars.
