Here’s a man — Tony “Nino” D’Anna, who according to his own words — spoken to me as if he was bragging — boasted that he rarely, if ever, filed any tax returns.
He has no legal, visible means of income. He works at no typical job. Yet he’s currently able to drive very expensive Ferrari’s.
How does that work?
Nino seems to be able to afford to go out to expensive dinners at the nicest restaurants in Las Vegas — places like Piero’s Italian Cuisine, The Mayfair at the Bellagio. Doing that frequently, can get expensive. Very expensive.
Before he took to driving around in expensive Ferrari’s, he had a high-end Rolls Royce Wraith, courtesy of Mrs. Vickie Dehart, procured from Towbin Motor Cars. Before that it was a string of Mercedes Benz’s and BMW’s from BMW of Las Vegas at Sahara and Rainbow. Tony boasted proudly to me that he got his mother, Erlava D’Anna, to sign or cosign for them somehow (all that paper work is available, I’m sure).
He’s been arrested — more than once — has a criminal felony conviction, for which he spent jail time, yet feels perfectly comfortable, it seems, walking around threatening people openly.
And his 75-year-old mother, Erlava, keeps signing for cars for him. Why can’t he sign for his own cars? What does he have to hide? Why does he use 31 flavors of names? Anthony D’Anna, Tony D’Anna, Nino D’Anna, Anthony Danna, Tony Danna, Nino Danna, for example.
How many names are you known by? Maybe your first and last name, and perhaps a nickname? Think about it. Who uses a half-dozen or more names? Answer: someone usually trying to hid something.
Nino is not some actor using an assumed name, like Cary Grant, for example (real name: Archibald Leach). Cary Grant wouldn’t have been Cary Grant if he’d had to lug around a name like Archibald Leach. And he’s not a writer, penning prose under pen name, like Mark Twain (real name: Samuel Clemens).
Current girlfriend, Mrs. Vickie Dehart bought a $1.5 million home. Nino’s mother, Erlava, signed for it. (And by the way, you know what “Nino” means, right? It means boy, child, kid. Seems pretty appropriate to me. I don’t know if Tony’s ever grown up or is ever gonna grow up.)
Vickie’s very own kept man. Hey, who can blame her? From the outside looking in, D’Anna is 47 years old, and she’s about to turn 65. Not bad to have a younger man, 17 years your junior hanging around. Although when it comes to Tony … I mean, just look at his picture. He’s not exactly some buffed-out pool boy. Oh well, Vickie.
One of his previous girlfriends got him arrested for home invasion and domestic battery by strangulation. There’s more to that story than the police report reflects. Much more. Let your imagination run a little bit and picture what going through that as a young woman must have been like. Now imagine it worse.
How does all this work? How does this man get away with being able to afford expensive cars — Ferraris, Rolls Royces, BMWs — with no visible means of support? How does he get away with allegedly not filing tax returns? And admitting to me that he doesn’t file tax returns? How does he get away with home invasion and beating up a woman — strangling her? How does all that get covered up, even after Investigation by law enforcement?
Must have some very high levels of influence, is all I can think.
