NEW YORK - With his roommate still unconscious from a car crash, Anthony Giordano told officers he was the injured man's brother and took his wallet before embarking on a $22,000 spending spree, police said.
Giordano, a former Long Island resident, was extradited to New York from South Carolina on Friday, according to the Suffolk County Police Department. He was facing charges of identity theft and grand larceny.

That sounds more this guy lost an arm and a leg...
I think you are being a liitle harsh on Mr. Giordino. With his sensibilities, he has a promising future in the New York Democratic political machine as soon as he takes care of the imminent felony convictions. But as death doesn’t prevent Democrats from voting early and often, I don’t suspect that the plucky Mr. G will be deterred by a couple of felonies.
I was going to say he might have a bright future with the ACLU, but your scenario with the NY democRatic political machine sounds like an even better opportunity for him.
You’re both wrong, he was applying for a Job with John Edwards’ election committee.
He just got lost in the wrong state.
On the bright side.....it could have cost him an arm AND a leg.
Maybe he does have a future in politics,but until that time comes-I say hang that weasel up by the nuts!
There’s a good case for reinstituting public whippings.
