It was just a matter of time when one is so brazen and corrupt as Zahn has been.

quote:

The FBI has interviewed at least three people about Kenner’s sudden turnabout on garbage pickup last year, when city officials abruptly changed firms less than halfway through a 10-year deal, dumping Ramelli Janitorial Services and giving the work instead to IV Waste, owned by Sidney Torres IV.

Sid Torres has proven to be the best garbage collector in the region hands down - it's not even close.

As a constituency it's worth every penny. Screw the old-line shitty garbage collectors, Sid is the man.

Not knocking Torres, but the way the deal was conceived is the problem. Nikilosi and Zahn have ran an organization that makes the mafia blush.

Torres does a great job at what he does. That’s obvious.

Garbage collection seems like a dirty business.

FBI interviewing 3 people over many months just seems like they are paying lip service to someone. Ramelli probably trying to call in favors.

Sidney Torres IV is New Orleans's Dan Bilzerian. Makes me cringe and his IV Waste company is awful here in Lakeview.

Pay enough lip service and eventually someone is going to explain just how impossible it is to do business in Kenner without the machine getting their taste. It’s pretty brazen.

I'm sure if you investigated the Torres family, you'd find some interesting stuff. His mom was a lifer as the clerk of court in St. Bernard. His dad an attorney. I'm sure they've had their share of corruption.

Guy was a narq back in the 70s.
Used to chase us around on our dirt bikes like he was starsky and hutch.
Looks like he has graduated to being a total freekin douchebag.

Sounds like they could use the new and improved Cifer 5000

Just because you’re in waste management everyone assumes you’re mobbed up. It’s a stereotype and it’s offensive, and you’re the last one I’d want to perpetuate it!


ETA damn I got beat to it

He and Zahn are choking the life out of Kenner with their corrupt practices. Eventually I hope it all comes to the surface, and maybe this is the start of that.

100%.

Remelli is incompetent and runs a crappy company but he's well connected and likes to sue people. No doubt he's not pleased with how his lawsuit is doing, so he's decided to try to drop a dime with the FBI.

That's not to say Zahn is innocent. he has always struck me as the EWE type... the trains runs on time but he's absolutely likely getting a cut.
