The Father passed away , they are up for the funeral.

Who are they. are they apart of the phila crime family ?

Yeah they were made guys under Scarfo, Joey Pungitore shot Salvatore Testa, will be really interesting to see if they try to get back in the game.

joseph didn't shoot salvie he set him up wayne grande shot testa

oh yeah that was it, did he get convicted of murder for that?

They all got off on the Testa murder. Joseph Pungitore was convicted of killing Frank Narducci Sr as well as several murder conspiracies during the Riccobene/Scarfo war.

is there anyone else left over from the scarfo era or did most of them go down with scarfo?

Ligambi was a Scarfo era soldier and very close to his Underboss, Chucky Merlino. Frank Narducci Jr is back in Philly. Most of the guys on street are related to Scarfo era members...sons, nephews, younger brothers, etc.

thanks phillykid. im suprised he wasnt able to maintain control for longer with all those people still on the street.

Like I said in another thread, a lot of NY mobsters were implicated due to Leonetti and Fresolone flipping and the higher ups were none too pleased with Scarfo because of this. Then there was Gotti pushing for Stanfa to take over Philadelphia since the guy Genovese wanted for boss, Anthony Piccolo, was unwilling to accept the job.

Joey Punge

Flamingo or phillykid, has their been any pics of Pungitore since his release? And what do you think about him returning to the fold?

No pictures that I know of, and as for your second question I have no clue. But in my opinion they would be dumb to jump back into things seeing as they just got done doing 20 years in prison...why be in a rush to go back? The Pungitores have a lot of cash anyway.

How do they have a lot of cash still? Is from legit businesses or saved from criminal stuff?

Iam unaware of legit business they or the father had. And how do you define lots of cash ? Living in a row home that's payed for and having a thousand a week is that a lot of cash ?

yes the pungitores have money left first from there father who soldf his girard estates row home in south philly which he paid off in the 70`s for close to 265 g`s,, second they have another brother Ralph Pung who made pickups for shark n numbers money into the early 90`s that was left on the street as well as run legit and ill legit companies and most important the pungs helped the changs mikey joey n johny when there pop went to prison in 84 they too kcare of them .. they employed them sd runners and bookies.. joey chang sent a beautiful flow arrangement from south carolina to show his respect to the funeral home

265 is not a lot ! Iam sure they are respectable brothers ! Real money is Gambino money ! Tony machines was real money !

sure it is when the houses you lived in was paid off when u were in federal prison. plus they had various real estate props thru the city

john veasey talking about his new book, takes shots at merlino and a movie

http://www.philly.com/philly/video/BCCE1437932149001.html

Yea I posted the Fox video on the real deal. He has been making his rounds around PHilly. He was on 94 WIP with Stratweiser about 15 minutes ago. He sounds bad but I heard book was good and easy read. I just got it for my phone cause I heard it was a quick read and its only an E book on kindle.

Is he just walking the streets of S Philly, I heard he wants to be a teacher of people selling cars and such, do you think nick the crow could come back and walk the streets

On the interveiw on WIP today he said he was in Center City today.

I liked the interview with the gossip reporter on philly.com and how he talked about his torture techniques, dude is ballsy

Thanks DD, I do like his straight up attitude. Says it the way it is !

Veasey is a piece of trash, are they going to print the book or just leave it on kindle. I like the Philly Gossip Interview, hes all cocky and shit. I'd like to see a video of him teaching a classroom of people how to sell cars, I think that would be funny

He was on Good Day on Fox yesterday.

Not impressed with Veasey interview! He couldn't talk !

John Veasey is one tough moutherfucker.

I heard he has hepititus c,that's bad news,I wrote a post because I was wondering if the Ciancglini's are a little on edge that he's around.That's why i'm thinking they closed that newsstand.To me when Veasey was doing good I didn't think it would last,he's not wired that way.He'd probably would rather be broke in Philly than doing great in tim buck two.I still feel like one day he is going to get revenge for his brother one way or another.It probably eats him a live every day.

Thats funny Stanfa gave Veasey a fake ring. Veasey taking Merlino's shoes?? dunno about that one
