Mafia Wars: More than just a Facebook game



Well, here's a crazy story for ya.  I used to think the primary use of Facebook was for scorned lovers to catch their cheating significant others. Now, if you want to catch a criminal, just sign into Facebook.  One of Italy's most dangerous Mafia members, Pasquale Manfredi, was arrested yesterday after blowing his location due to a Facebook chat.  For a mafia member, I would have thought this guy would have been a bit smoother.  Anyway, Manfredi decided in the midst of all the chaos that is his Mafia life, he should sign into Facebook and chat it up with some friends.  It didn't take long for the FEDs to track his location and arrest him.  Rumor has it he was playing Mafia Wars on Facebook at the time. Ok, that's a lie, I made that up, but at this point who knows what he was actually doing on there.
