Vinny Gorgeous got clipped by the feds on Wednesday.
Former Bonanno crime boss Vincent Basciano will have to make do with plastic paper clips holding voluminous jury questionnaires together because jail officials don't want him getting his hands on staples.
"He will be provided with file folders and plastic paper clips in order to reduce the amount of metal in his cell," said prosecutor Taryn Merkl.
Basciano could face the death penalty if convicted of ordering the murder of mob associate Randolph Pizzolo. Four years ago, the feds discovered an alleged hit list of judges, prosecutors and witnesses written by Basciano.
