According to NY Daily News, Casanova, real name Caswell Senior, surrendered himself in Manhattan last night. The other seventeen people involved in the takedown were already in custody.
&#8220;Members of Gorilla Stone committed terrible acts of violence, trafficked in narcotics, and even engaged in brazen fraud by exploiting benefits programs meant to provide assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; said acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss about the case. 
Casanova faces up to life in prison should he be convicted of his harshest crime.
