665.1Reminder, pleaseALFAXP::HICKSTue May 18 1993 10:195
Can someone remind me which of the Mangone trials this is?  Civil or criminal? 
Who is the plaintiff?  Is this trial only related to the Barnstable mess or is
DCU peripherally involved?

What I was told was the following:

	1.  Mangone's criminal trial is first.  The interested
            civil litigants are waiting for this to be completed
            on the basis that getting a criminal conviction will
            help strengthen their respective cases.

	2.  NCUA v. Mangone et. al. is next

	3.  DCU v. Mangone follows thereafter.

I'm sure Phil or one of the other directors will correct me if I'm
wrong.

The Boston Globe today had an article (page 41) on the
Mangone trial with the heading "Ex-credit union official
testifies".

Lynn Vasapolle, treasurer of Barnstable Community FCU
testified to a number of illegal acts she and others
committed including

 - attesting to the town of Brewster that $550,000 was 
   in a Barnstable account that actually contained
   about $5.00

 - Mangone and Smith inflated the revenues of two hotels
   to make it appear that they were making money

 - used a portfolio of one person as if it were another
   person

No cross-examination yet.  Sounds like this one witness
is going to make a significant case.  She plead guilty to
a single count of mail fraud in exchange for her testimony.
