Giuseppe “Little Joe” Manzi was already free while awaiting trial in a 22-defendant federal gambling case when a separate casino investigation created a new threat to his pretrial release. Rhode Island authorities accuse the 51-year-old Massachusetts man of using casino rewards accounts connected to other identities during a high-stakes slot operation at Bally’s Lincoln. More Than 100 Rewards Accounts Were Tied to the Casino CaseInvestigators say Manzi and five other men used more than 100 Bally’s rewards accounts registered under identities that did not belong to them. Rhode Island authorities have not released a public transaction-by-transaction account explaining which portion of the casino money supports that count. Protect Rewards Accounts From Identity MisuseCasino and other customer-loyalty accounts should not be shared, sold or opened for another person.
