A cardiologist on Long Island’s Gold Coast traded semiautomatic guns and prescription pills in an elaborate plot to rub out a rival heart doc, (Reuters). A New York cardiologist has been arrested and accused of a murder-for-hire plot against a competing doctor. The failed scheme was put into motion only after Anthony Moschetto, 54, hired two men to torch the competitor’s office in February.
A search of Moschetto’s ritzy home in the exclusive Sands Point neighborhood turned up a cache of some 100 weapons, concealed behind a motorized moving bookshelf in the heart doc’s basement, the Nassau County District Attorney’s office said. Among his secret arsenal were an illegal Uzi, an SKS semiautomatic weapon, a hand grenade, an assortment of knives and enough ammo to supply a small army.
He was accused of bartering prescription pills and semiautomatic guns in the shocking murder-for-hire plot.
“He wanted to put rival out of business so he could get his business,” said Nassau County prosecutor Anne Donnelly, explaining that Moschetto’s hatred for the doctor stemmed from a “professional dispute.”
Undercover officers conducting a drug sting unraveled the sinister plot when an oxycodone dealer they were targeting ask them for explosives “to blow up a building.”
He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him.
Just a thought.
