Giovanni Strassini: A Football Fantasy

Thanks to BP for a great amount of fun during the long off season. Went to the facebook page before removed and pretty sure its Cris Carter that he is claiming to be friends with.

Have to wonder if this moron has ever even met Cris besides at a signing somewhere....

Once again thanks for the hours of entertainment this thread is bringing....

It is Cris, not Chris.

He probably did meet out friend and it was probably the inspiration for X Files.

Slightly OT, Dana Scully was a hot piece of ass.

I also have a couple questions.

1. Why continue this charade around a major site like espn.com?

2. If you always went by the name Giovanni, why is your hotmail jstrassini? Something does not sound right here- and when something doesn't sound right, it usually isn't right.

He changed his name to Roberto. I guess he thought it was more exotic.

I find it rather interesting that in his earlier posts in this thread in response to allegations of fraud he took such issue with the definition and elements of fraud. I believe he even asked a few folks to look it up. The reason it is so funny, is that in U.S. v. Strassini, that was exactly the defense of John Daley STRASSINI, a/k/a John D. Strassini, d/b/a Elite Home Builders, d/b/a JDS Builders, Incorporated, d/b/a John Daly Strothers.

Unfortunately, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals found Mr. Strassini's defense just as unbelievable as we are finding it, i.e. they did not choose positivity.

See United States v. Strassini, 59 F. App'x 550, 555 (4th Cir. 2003).


Fear the "reeper" (obviously a nickname given to the 300 pound, well-endowed cell mate that Mr. Strassini spent the next 72 months bunking with).

In support of Dryden's (who continually fails to choose positivity no matter how frequently he is urged to do so :shake:)timeline and questions thereof, I also find it interesting that in the appellate brief filed by Strassini (John, not Giovanni...definitely not Giovanni...yeah, John....the guy with no association to Giovanni...completely different people), he tells the Court as follows:

Once in Charlotte, he owned and operated Elite Home Builders and Improvements. The North Carolina Secretary of State has the following business entities registered within the state: Elite Home Builders, Inc., which was incorporated by a man named Johnny Dipiazza (this is apparently him: http://www.kw.com/kw/GetAgent.action?personId=295758). I don't think the guy pictured as realty agen Dipiazza is the same guy pictured in the Charlotte Buckeys photos, right? JDS, Builders, Inc. is also incorporated in NC (or at least it was until it was dissolved in July of 2011), with it registered agent listed as John Strassini of 3520 Providence Plantation Lane. That same address on Radaris brings up listings for R. Strassini. John D. Strassini and Rebecca Strassini are listed as residents (not sure whether former or current) of 3613 Providence Plantation Lane.

Back to the case law. Not to be deterred, in 2005, John Strassini filed another appeal alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. Obviously it was his attorney's fault that he committed fraud...

Strassini v. United States, 398 F. Supp. 2d 432 (W.D.N.C. 2005)

It appears that after being sentenced, John Strassini completed his term of imprisonment and commenced a term of three years' supervised release on August 17, 2004. On July 16, 2007, Strassini's term of supervised release was extended for a period of one year due to his failure to make the required monthly restitution payments. During his time in prison, Strassini filed various suits against the prison. Mr. Strassini also was involved in bankruptcy proceedings. Then, in 2009 he filed an action seeking relief from the final judgment in the fraud case, which required him to pay restitution. The Court disagreed with Mr. Strassini, holding:

Strassini v. United States, CRIM. 3:97CV54, 2009 WL 3698405 (W.D.N.C. Nov. 2, 2009)

But wait, there is more. In an appeal filed with the Ninth District Court of Appeals by Giovanni Strassini, Mr. Strassini (again, definitely not John Strassini.....obviously they aren't the same people....that just isn't plausible), he objected to a Magistrate's ruling regarding child support and related matters, asserting that the decision did not reflect the agreement between Mr. Strassini and his now deceased ex-wife, Rebecca Strassini. The Court's opinion reads as follows:

Strassini v. Strassini, 2012-Ohio-5269 (Ohio Ct. App. Nov. 14, 2012).

Nothing suspicious here...move on.
What I don't understand is this: why is his ex-wife still listed as a resident? They divorced in 2000-01, she died in 5/2009?

1. Well, it is easier to navigate there.
2. Anomic aphasia.

I know we are all having a lot of fun with this, but on a serious note - based on the factual information made available in this thread alone, Mr. Strassini's conduct indicates a propensity for unethical and immoral behavior (at the least). We aren't talking about something like passing yourself off as the guitarist for (insert cool band) at the bar to pick up girls. We are talking about a convicted felon who served time in federal prison for committing fraud. Clearly, his behavior for the last 20 years indicates that he is not a stable person. If he contacts you or attempts to establish any kind of personal communication with you, ignore him. Do not give him any personal info or a way to obtain personal info.

Debbie Downer rant over. Proceed with positivity.
