-Right. It says Salvatore. We're talking about the Gotham mob. Because of that, common sense tells us to associate the first name with the last name. Maroni is Gotham mafia. And seeing as how this site was discovered directly by way of a GCPD money laundering investigation.... Well, you do the math.
-Just because an Italian says "Capiche" doesn't mean it's meant to be taken as a threat.
Why the hell would I do that? I don't care what baker's dozen is slang for. It's pretty obvious what it's in reference to in this situation. It's code for a pick-up or exchange of some sort. Probably money.
Besides. The chances of the term "baker's dozen" being in any way consequential in this situation are slim to none. So why are you making such a big deal out of it's "slang" meaning?
If you say so. But the origin of the term has to do with bakery. And since pastries we're also mentioned in the same sentence.... Again, you do the math.
If there is a wiretap. Which, to accomodate the fact that we're doing this over the internet, there probably will be. But they also mention surveillance. So we could also be talking about a video feed.
No, that's the conclusion you're coming to.
Dismissing Pasquale as Frenchie "just because" is a fool's errand. He may very well be Frenchie. But we don't know that for sure. And aside from the name being mentioned on adminstrator voicemail of Pasquale's, we've never been given any reason to believe that. If this place is a front for a money laundering operation, and especially by you're logic, there's a very good chance that Pasquale isn't the guy that's in charge of that operation. Which leads me into this:
Wow. Do you really have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Pasquale is the front man for Maroni??? Holy Jebus, people. Does anyone else out there have any backround and/or education in law enforcement?
What you claim is under discussion is actually whether or not Pasquale has ties to organized crime. And at this point, I'd say it's pretty damn obvious. Pasquale's Bistro is under surveilance by the GCPD. That right there tells us that, regardless of the level of involvement, Pasquale is somehow involved with the gotham mob and it's money laundering investigation.
First of all: "Baker's Dozen" in Cockney slang means "Cousin." Second, how do you associate an english form of slang with italian mafia? Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
Wrong.
You don't even know who the "fred" they're talking about is at this point. How he wound up in the river, or even who he may have pissed off to get there.
And again, if a money laundering operation is going in and out of his business, whether by his choice or not, he is directly involved in organized crime.
Do you have any idea of how a money laundering operation works?
Because it doesn't sound like you do. So do yourself a favor and go here:

It's a crash course.
What you're talking about: Men threatening an individual with physical harm unless payment is delivered, especially if this indivual has nothing to do with organized crime is a completely different animal. And it's called extortion.

I'd suggest you educate yourself before you go making any more assumptions. Because what you're saying right now is so completely off in left field that I'd have a hard time figuring out how you can understand it.
