My Big Fat Greek Family Feud -- With the Feds Thrown In. Or, meet the Kontogiannis clan! A selection, thanks to a reader, and the comments at Muckraker:

... The secret with the 9th Circuit hearings is that there is no evidence against John Michael and the Government doesn't want to admit they got duped by a man who can't even spell C-I-A and isn't even good at his career, i.e. being a criminal; He has gotten caught 3 times for Bribing Public Officials!!! This Case is like the hit and run driver testifying against the J-walker, saying it was the J-walkers fault for his leaving the scence of the crime. Since, when does the government Plea Down. Is this the Prosecutors way of making billable hours or is the payoff that good! The Government didn't need him to cooperate. Tommy knows nothing about nothing ... The time is coming for them to finally pay for all of the innocent people they have destroyed with their ends justifys the means mentality. What family means to Mr. K is that he would send his kids to jail if it was them or him and justify it as he is the breadwinner. He is the biggest piece of garbage walking. The Gov't is the guilty party here. Like the old adage goes: Everybody has a price! The officials in the US Embassy in Greece, New York State took 4.6 Million Dollars to let him out of jail and now the US Attorneys, to mention just a few...Does Anyone in the United States actually care about Truth and Justice or is this the Governments way of giving Carol Lam her exiting Gift: as many indictments as they could manufacture the day before she left office, and before the public realizes just how corrupt the US Atty.'s are. She even forgot John Michael's Name at the indictment Press Hearing. This Fish Smells from the Head to the tail, but this time Justice will Prevail!

Wow, this is awesome!!! The whole Kontogiannis family is on here. Back from your Greek cruise? How was the weather? Frankly, I'm rather shocked your boy "Tommy" didn't slink off and hide somewhere in Greece, never to return back to the US! Amazing how you were even able to leave the country.

Listen, the bottom line is Tommy can try to weasel out of his messes, by blaming everything on other people, i.e, John T. Michael. Any business reflects its leadership. Tommy owns 70% or more of his companies. Tommy acts as if one of HIS trusted people just went off the reservation and arbitrarily acted on his own. Gimmie a break! If that's the case then Tommy sucks as a businessman! Wait a minute, who are we kidding he does suck at business. Trying to paint him as an upstanding guy is a total joke! Why then does he have such a notorious record of criminal activity?

Also, for anyone to criticize John T. Michael for wanting to make money is laughable. Who doesn't? Any money he ever made is negligible compared to the millions Tommy has stolen or defrauded over the past few decades! Kontogiannis family please stop blogging here and defending your crook of a patriarch. You're not fooling anyone. All of his deeds speak for themselves and speaking of greed how much have you all profited off of Tommy's illegal activity? Phony mortgages, dummied financials and come on using a dead woman to get a mortgage under? Yikes. If there is a hell, you should all be very afraid. There will be a reckoning!

As far as that impish drunk loser Deligiannis goes. Well, let's just say he's the real bag egg of it all. He and Tommy together doing dirty business. Tommy would sell his own mother if it made a profit. Oh but wait, he employed the loser (Deligiannis) who supposedly raped his daughter Annette, just because he'd do what Tommy wanted!

Reply to ontheinside, Thank YOU I couldnt have said it better, The US ATTORNEY let T.K. leave the country and only required him to surrender 1 passport when he had 5. It's nice when you payoff the right people.Think about it a 3 time convicted FELON out on 1.5 million $ bail and he's on a private yacht for 3 weeks cruising the Mediterranean.According to U.S.Atty. FORGE he's under cover meeting with OSAMA I guess he figured one look at Tom K. daughters and he die of fright

... If JM is innocent then who besides Tommy is the guilty party? Hum, let me think.....DELIGIANNIS!!!!! He wrote all of those bogus mortgages, doctored financials and forged signatures. That wife beating loser is Tommy's right-hand man!!! He makes me sick. I hope he loses everything! What a scumbag! Didn't he testify against JM? Gee, I wonder how much Tommy paid for that pack of lies? It's all coming out. They'll all go down eventually. Hey Deligiannis do you feel more like a man beating down your poor wife in front of your kids? What the hell do you need 10-20 guns in your house for? You getting ready to start WWIII? You're a fat, ugly, drunk who sucks in bed. It's amazing you even had any kids.

I am Corinne Michael, proud to say wife of the wrongly accused,Defendant John T. Michael and I am NOT "ontheinside" and whoever thinks I am must find that the "ontheinside" has validity in their statement. I don't need to stoop to the Level of the family by talking s--- about people and making wrong ASSumptions... and if I do I want to look you in the face and see your reaction not do it behind your back. Oh I'm sorry that is the families MO with their ends justify the means mentality... but I think your ends finally caught up with your means and there is no one else to blackmail into reform. I don't need to bad mouth Mr. Deligiannis online--I have never been accused of HOLDING BACK-- If I have something to say believe me everyone will know it came from me-- I don't hide behind pseudo names or lie and smile in someones face as I lie and stab them in the back. As far as my "Gravy Train" being over and derailed that joke is on you, you all though by destroying the business you would bankrupt us into taking a deal-- you made a gross miscaculation. Tommy K.'s lies will be proven in open court, all of your crimes will be in the open and my husband will build another successful business minus the now 3 time convicted felon (oh! what was he convicted of? "Bribing Public Officials") around to destroy it with his lies, cover-ups and deceit. Too bad we found out too late who tk really is... My life and my family is all I need. I would rather live on the street than be rich with money made by the lives u all have taken part in destroying, with the tears and blood shed at your hands. I know who you are making yet more unfounded allegations against us...you are truly misguided by your fathers proven ability to scam. But, I can't blame the family in its entirety for being so FEEBLE as to believe Tommy K's ponse schemes and taking part, for even public officials have a price for their conformity. At least I can sleep at night knowing nobody suffered at my husband's hand, he is yet another victim of Tommy's lies. ... The only reason I am even Justifying your statement with an answer is because I don't appreciate being accused of something I didn't do... I guess that is why me and John T. Michael are together and HAPPY despite what his family has done to him. Oh! FYI my name has 1 R and 2 N's...

To Curiousone on 1/12/07 a rocket hit the U.S. Embassy in Athens,Greece. T.K. told U.S. Attys. office about it before hand to get his DEAL he convinced then he was the next coming of James Bond and these morons bought it. If you want the story google it.Everyone knows T.K. set it up to get his DEAL.
P.S.
T.K. when it's proven that's LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE

Emphasis added.

So, did Kontogiannis really report in advance a bombing at the U.S. embassy in Athens to impress his U.S. handlers? Did he set it up? And what's the relationship with troubled North Carolina prosecutor Nifong? Kontogiannis did have some past business there.

You really could not make this stuff up. Any insights, give a shout.

(Thx to C).
