NYU spokesman John Beckman is the hardest working man in university communications these days. What with yesterday's news of the NYU student living in the library's basement, not to mention the many suicides this past school year, did he really need to have a freshman arrested for dealing pot? Of course, a college student selling drugs is much more understandable than living in the library, but it definitely lacks that unfelonious charm. Julia Diaco, a freshman from Rumson, NJ, was apprehended at a St. Marks apartment building, with "several ounces of high grade pot and a scale" on her, according to Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau. Diaco was also dealing pot and other hallucinogens from her NYU dorm, Hayden Hall. The Daily News emphasizes that Diaco's family lives in a "castle-like mansion" in the same town as Bruce Springsteen, her family was "powerful" - with her dad a "big wheel" in construction - and that Diaco was "headstrong and always well-dressed." Hmm, Daily News, try to spell it out a little more, okay? The other great thing about the Daily News's coverage are the quotes from suitemates:
Diaco suite mate who declined to give her name said "it was pretty obvious what she was doing" and that "she had a lot of customers."It's both a "Ha!"" and "Yikes, that resident assistant is going to go down!" if that last statement is true. Unless NYU has a "one strike and you're out" policy we don't know about. And Ask Gothamist pondered the ethics of eavesdropping on what roommates say on the phone.
"The phone calls she made were really loud," the student said.
Another suite mate said, "I just noticed lots of people walking in and out all the time."
The first suite mate said the floor's resident assistant had warned Diaco "to stop before she was found out."

oh, she's sort of cute! i wonder how those hip hugging sweatpants went over down at the tombs.
That's the great thing about America. Most of us would date a drug dealer if that person was cute enough.
(I would)
why is it that most of the people I ever hear who deal come from affluent backgrounds?
Andy: Because drug dealing arrests rarely warrant any media attention UNLESS the dealer has an affluent background or some other juicy hook. Go to any NYC arraignment court on any day and you'll see plenty of dealers that do not have affluent backgrounds.
Wow, that she's from Rumson struck me. Yep, Springsteen lives there. So does Bon Jovi and half of the executives of Exxon. Small, extrememly wealthy, exclusive, and the country club didn't accept people of color till the mid-80s! The kids in the high school drove their BMWs to school, did a lot of drugs, and the parents were often too busy socializing or dealing with their own drug and alcohol problems that no one seemed to mind. man do i miss the suburbs! ;-)

Hmmm, Dad is a "big wheel in construction" in New Jersey....draw your own conclusions.
Is this Meadow Soprano?
Knowing how common "delivery services" are in Manhattan, I always wondered how they don't get caught...changing phone numbers can't be enough. They must give a cut to the "right" people.
Maybe they'll give her housing to that homeless kid for the rest of the semester.
Times might have changed, but if they arrested every NYU kid dealing or growing drugs, I would have never had any roommates!
And don't the cops have better things to do? It's hard enough to get 'high grade pot' as is!
"it's hard enough to get 'high grade pot' as is!"
maybe where YOU live. score one point in california's column.
some friends at NYU had a suitemate who was a gogo boy and then some. While he apparently didn't bring any of his clients back to the dorm, he would head out suddenly in the middle of the night and return a couple of hours later with a wad of dough.
And he'd leave silver g-strings hanging in the common area. To top it all off, he wasn't even hot; he was a weird little elf dude, which I guess is a good niche for stripper/hustling.
For the record, Springsteen owns a house in Rumson, and used actually to live in it. Now he and the wife and kids spend all their time in a house in Colts Neck -- more horsey and "rural" and not across the street from a school.
NYU rocks! Go Bobcats/Violets!
Hey, when I was a freshman they actually let the cops bug our dorm (Brittany) in order to record phone conversations between "Baby Joe" and Peter Gatien, who B. Joe was distributing E for. So I think your roommates are the last thing you have to worry about. If you're going to deal, do it off-campus for chrissake.
So yes, NYU officials helped bring down Gatien and the Limelight by consenting to a wiretap. Lucklily for Baby Joe, I heard he copped a plea and didn't have to serve time.
If you're dumb enough to deal out of your dorm room, then you are dumb enough to get caught. And while she might have "family" connections, none of this seems like an official "family" distrobution deal.
This whole thing has the signs of Julia Diaco somehow wanting to make some spare $$$ on her own and not something that was officially "family" sanctioned. If she was dealing for her "family" on an official basis, she would have had a boutique or cafe setup for her as a front and then deal.
Very onbvs to to me.
First, I've gotta go with Jake on this one. This kitten is hot, people. AND she can afford to keep herself in Sean John till the cows come home. AND the high grade connection! I mean, this lady's a keeper.
greg:
I'm almost positive I know that gogo boy! How funny. I got him into porn, and I think he just went ripping into sex work from there.
This is so silly, if every kid who sells pot at NYU got busted, half of the school's population would be depleted!
"Is Hayden a cocaine haven?"
http://www.nyunews.com/news/campus/7300.html
apparently not anymore.
i know what they were meant, they meant her dad is in the Mafia! get it? no really, i TOTALLY figured it out! i added up the clues and figured it out! and I live in the Midwest! god bless David Chase and Francis Ford Coppola!
btw, jake's right. this hottie be F-I-N-E! shmears on her tees.
hey I kno this gurls family and they are nothing but the sweetest and nicest people every. It is pretty shocking that this happened but I dont think it is far to the family, just because they have money the press and everything had to blow this up. Come on, people get busted everyday for dealing drugs and that doesnt go alll out over the news. So why does her case have to .. just cause they have money .. come on.. give the family a break
God Bless Julia Diaco
i hope everything turns out okay for you
alright yes i know this girl i know her family!! she is prbley one of the most beautiful girls ever..so why did she go wasting her time selling drugs instead of being a model..who knows? but u guys are right she is amazing looking with an amazing body to go along with it..although it is her own fault and i dont feel very sorry for her i feel bad for her family that has to go through this with her
Please everyone give it a rest, im a close friend of all of the kids and this is all bullshit. she might have done something wrong but just becuase they have money is no need to harass them like this. its not her fault or anyone elses that he father has worked his ass off so they can have a good life, drop the princess shit its for fair
Lux, you must be so proud. Somewhere, there's a set of NYU parents who are patting themselves on the back, saying, "at least our son's just a porn-making hustler."
as one of julia's best friends, it's disappointing to see that so many of u have bought into the media already. Its not like she's been convicted and whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty. As was said, with as many pot dealers as there are, especially at nyu, why is she any bigger of a deal? And just b/c she lived in a "mansion in nj where brucespringsteen lives" doesnt mean that she didnt have a real f-d up, very difficult childhood. Nyu students especially bein from new york should know all about the media and its bullshit...
Folks, clearly she is a business major! What's the big deal? After a few years she can get funding to build her own supply chain and go *really big*. Or she can go get an MBA.
Growing up, I was in the same grade as her older brother. I remember Julia a little bit. What I remember was a very cute and sweet young girl. I wasn't really close to anyone in their family, but they were always really nice people from what I saw. Being 18 and at your first year in college is life changing and can easily get out of control. It can happen to anyone, no matter where you come from or how much money you do or dont't have. I hope that Julia will get a second chance and that her and her family will get through this ok.
Don't worry about jailtime for Julie -- she's white AND rich. Black teenagers are over 40 times more likely than white kids to serve jailtime on drug offenses.
All i can say is this shit is crazy. I used to do gymnastics with her, god ddaamnn
Being from the Rumson area I hate to say that I am not surprised, but going to school with the Diaco family I am surprised to hear the one of them would do this. I think the media is a little too soprano happy. Just because you are rich with an italian last name does not make you a mobster.
It would be silly to say that drugs have not affected high school/college aged teens. I have seen several people in our area with problems that do go unforseen, but I am sure that that occurs anywhere. I am just happy there is one less supplier out there to affect our area, and that she is safe... I only reminds me of what happened at the carnegie deli. That girl is dead.

WE LOVE YOU JULIA D! NOW WHERE'S THE REST OF THAT STASH?
hey what i say, rfh is a party school. kids got no problems finding alcohol or drugs. we got $$

When i found out this info i was really shoked because my family knows this family. I will go to RFH to and just because we have money doesnt meean anything.. so why all of these drungs
What a moron, but a hot looking moron, i'd hit it.
Rich white kids are stupid dumb lol ;op
most of u are pretty freakin dumb....first off, rfh is not really that much of a party skool compared to the skoolz round here....we are all sheltered motherf***ers. second of all, some reporters are really annoying with tryin to juice up the story by using names like bon jovi and springsteen. they dont matter unless she was selling to them!
I was doing some family tree research and I come up with this? My regards to her family. If her family or friends read this please contact me. This is sad news to me.
to andy--
the reason is because most of the kids that are from those backgrounds have the cash for upfront costs.
