  1. I am sure Trueworthy is proud to have someone convicted of tax evasion who is currently the defendant in 3 civil cases in control of the sewer plant.

  6. On March 9, 1995, the Commission filed a complaint against
    Autuori, Jonathan N. Googel, Benjamin J. Sisti, William
    Candelori, Kevin P. Sisti, Peter J. Curley and Kenneth A. Zak
    (collectively, the "Defendants"), alleging violations of several
    antifraud and securities registration provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with Colonial's offering of CCLP units. During the offering period, CCLP interests totaling more than $30 million were purchased by over 700 investors residing in 28 states and the District of Columbia.

    The complaint also alleged that, with the knowledge, approval and/or participation of various Defendants: Colonial concealed its financial problems from investors as the CCLP offering progressed; Googel, B. Sisti and Candelori signed false certifications in connection with the sale of investor notes to
    financial institutions; and Colonial failed to disclose that
    distributions to investors in its partnerships were funded frequently by "loans" from other Colonial partnerships. According to the Complaint, Autuori participated in sales seminars and other meetings with prospective investors, assuring them that Constitution Plaza would generate the revenues projected in CCLP's offering memorandum, and assisted in the preparation of materially misleading sales literature. In
    September 1990, shortly after the CCLP offering was suspended,
    Colonial was forced into bankruptcy and CCLP limited partners subsequently lost their entire investment. Autuori is the sole remaining defendant in the Commission's civil action.

  7. 2 Partners In Investment Plead Guilty
    Published: Wednesday, June 9, 1993

    The two founders of the failed Colonial Realty Company, which once controlled a $2 billion real-estate empire, pleaded guilty today to Federal fraud charges.

    Jonathan N. Googel, in charge of marketing the company's investment properties, admitted he fraudulently obtained millions of dollars in loans by greatly overstating the amount of money committed to Colonial projects by investors.

    His partner, Benjamin J. Sisti, admitted that, to shield his family's fortune from creditors, he illegally shifted more than $8 million to his wife's bank account and real estate in Florida shortly before Colonial's collapse in 1990.

    Colonial, which was founded 25 years ago and based in West Hartford, was forced to seek bankruptcy protection in 1990 by banks owed more than $40 million.

    Late last year, William P. Candelori, a former state lawmaker and executive at Colonial, pleaded guilty to Federal tax evasion for failing to report hundreds of thousands of dollars in income.

  8. UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

    FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT

    No. 1129 August Term, 1995

    (Argued February 28, 1996, Decided May 8, 1996)

    Docket No. 95-1485

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

    Appellee ,

    v.

    DOMINICK LOPREATO,

    The thrust of the government's case against Lopreato was that Colonial partner William Candelori contacted Lopreato and proposed that the CLPF invest in the Colonial Metro Zero Coupon Mortgage Trust (Metro Zero), a debt security which Colonial was then offering. In response, Lopreato informed Jonathan Googel, through their mutual friend, Ronald Welch, that the CLPF would invest in Metro Zero, but that Lopreato would have to be paid, in cash delivered by Welch. An agreement was reached that Colonial would pay Lopreato five percent of each such CLPF investment.

  11. Isn't it amazing that such a big story is brewing involving the chairman of a local 3 town sewer commission that handles millions of dollars of taxpayer money and the only paper to report it is the New London Day?

    Where's the Herald on such an important story?

    O'Reilly is correct in saying the media in this country is defunct!

  12. And now, the people of NB are to believe that Trueworthy partnered up with Candelori to save the city money! Yeah, right! What's next from this wacko Trueworthy, Sherwood, Little Mac, Gerratana, Bielinski, Hermanowski, Catanzaro and the other sure seven votes on the NB Council? And Sherwood has the audacity to ask a would be developer, "...where's the beef?"

    Time for a clean sweep from the Council of all these tainted Democrats. Conflicts of interest, tax evasion, ethnic slurs, badgering of city officials... - and now questionable associations.

  13. Sherwood has the audacity to ask a would be developer, "...where's the beef?"

    I wouldn't blame that guy one bit if he took his $5 million and invested it in a town that wants his money.
