Going Down To Rikers

Guess who went to Riker's Island to see Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello after his arrest in connection with the murder of Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis. It was Jack Abramoff associate Adam Kidan. From the Orlando Sun-Sentinel:

Adam Kidan saw Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello at Rikers Island jail in New York City on Sept. 29, making the businessman the only person outside Moscatiello's family and attorneys who visited the alleged mob associate his first 16 days behind bars, records show. Before Boulis' Feb. 6, 2001, drive-by execution, Kidan and Boulis had been locked in a bitter fight over control of the Dania Beach-based gambling ship fleet.

I wonder what they talked about? Perhaps Kidan went to see Moscatiello to make sure there wasn't a bullet out there with his name on it. Moscatiello had reportedly paid hit man Paul Brandreth $10,000 to clean up the Boulis situation, but Brandreth got pinched on another murder before he could do the job. Brandreth was supposed to hit James "Pudgy' Fiorillo, also charged in the Boulis case, and two other men whose names he could not recall.
