Fingon Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-michael-masecchia-a-buffalo-high-school-teacher-with-mob-ties-allegedly-bribed-a-dea-agent Quote By all accounts, Michael Masecchia seemed like an average English teacher at Grover Cleveland High School—a central Buffalo school whose most notable alumni include an NFL defensive end and a former U.N. official. The father of two had worked in the Buffalo public school system for more than 30 years, in which he taught at least 25,000 students and coached hundreds more in football, softball, and soccer. In 2018, his salary was around $76,949, according to court records, almost 30 percent more than his peers. But one former student recalled that the 54-year-old “kind of blended into the background at school—like he was involved in the school but not too much as to call too much attention to himself.” Terrence M. Connors, a lawyer for the teacher, said Masecchia had “a great rapport with his students” and was once an “exceptional college football player.” So when Masecchia was arrested in August 2019 on federal drug charges—after authorities raided his two-story Williamsville home to find a large cache of guns, several homemade explosives, and drugs—the school community was stunned. Masecchia was accused of growing and selling marijuana for more than 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
