Joseph Percoco, a former top aide to Gov. Cuomo now under federal investigation, might have pocketed as much as six figures from entities with business before the state, the Daily News has learned.
"It was a significant amount of money," said one source familiar with the situation. "It was not the $4 million (disgraced former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver) took, but it is at least tens of thousands and could be upwards of $100,000, if not more."
The payments officials know about occurred while Percoco was on leave from the state in 2014 to serve as Cuomo's campaign manager, the source said.
But those close to the situation aren't ruling out the possibility there might have been more outside payments once he went back to work as Cuomo's $169,000-a-year executive deputy secretary.
"You just don't know," the source said.

All this crap will never cease until Cuomo is put behind bars. He IS the common denominator. Preet ...do your job!
THE FUN HAS BEGUN. LOOK OUT CUOMO PREET IS COMING AFTER YOU!!
Mario's son probably thought that his appointed flack from the Board of Elections that broke the money laundering coup attempt of state senate seats would persuade Preet to cut him some slack.
Stay tuned motherfucker...
The biggest burn is that the city of Buffalo has not seen an outpouring of business interest on a scale like this ever, and also what should be revolutionary progress in mass marketing and production in renewable energy. And now it's going to be ruined because of insatiable greed. Thus confirming the fact that we will never have nice things.
They'll give him an immunity to testify against the Gov.
This gumba is a top Cuomo lieutenant. Maybe the feds get lucky and he squeals like Sammy the Bull.

Doesn't look like TOO much of a thug....
Not much of a surprise here, people of this state and city know for a very long time that corruption rules on the top.
This guy knows where the bodies are buried.
How come Cuomo's closest advisors - his father's too -are all Eyetalians?
are all Eyetalians?
Corruption does not know ethnicity.
Is not ethnic, is not racist is not tied to any political party.
Only knows one color - green.
The rest is irrelevant.
"The rest is irrelevant."
No it's not. It's sociological inquiry.
He even looks shady
Albany's house of cards is on the verge of collapse.
"He even looks shady"
i don't know about that...he looks like a fine upstanding citizen who has done nothing but follow the rules Albany sets aside for those higher ups.
ha! the entire Capital needs to be fumigated and all these roaches need to be stomped out!
Wow- one of lil Andy's flying attack monkeys.Who'd a thunk it?Maybe they could grab up Stinky while they're at it!
I'll settle for De Blasio in an oragge jump suit.
It started with pappa Mario.
Like father , like son.
I'm even willing to bet that the Clintons figure in on all this in the periphery.
Next on list is Joe Crowley and his cronies
