When the scarfo guys all went away, Joey and Mike where trying to take the street tax,but wernt made, if stanfa never made them, the philly mob might be extinct or alot different. . Mike was the real deal,hands down . Now if he don't die Philly would be a better place for them all . Mike had a great head on his shoulders.

Sonny mazzone will become capo very fast He only got made in 2011 there are guys who are waiting for the chance for promotion guys like George borgesi. Sonny is dumb he was always seen as a joke like anthony borgesi the only reason sonny got made was because of his brother it was his brother who made him from stanfa to merlino/natale to Joe ligambi no one would make him his own brother had to make him when he was in his late 40s no way he is getting the capo position plus like blackjack said they have enough capos plus the scarfo crews

Everything I have ever heard about Mikey has been along same lines, that he was last of dying breed and when that side lost him many expected that was it for that crew. Crazy how its played out over the years.

has anybody in mafia history survived more hits by dumb luck then merlino? In the Philly family at least, not likely. Lucky to a fault (but not when gambling $$$), Joey always said he had the devil in him...Bobby Rego back in the 80s avoided being hit a number of times, though he was as much shrewd and cunning as lucky. He was a very interesting guy...and the South Philly Ventos in general (like Rego always on the LCN fringe while not officially made members) have been victim to a long and storied history of near misses, close calls, and botched ambushes.

I have always wondered if their fathers played a part in them doing that. Even after the demotion of Chuckie him and Chickie had more influence and clout in SP streets then Scarfo had from AC and down in FL from what I have heard because they were for years the faces seen in the streets then.

You have it right ". And yes Chuckie had a lot to do with helping Skinny doing what he did . Before and after the take over . Skinny had no clue who was who out side of the 10 blocks around him. Chuckie supplied that information, and much more .

Crazy how its played out over the years. It was the tag team of Joey and Mikey that allowed them to be where they ended up today. And the fact that stands was an idiot when it came to American lcn. If it was just Joey from jump street he wouldn't have made it this far. The changs had way more respect

Just makes sense obvious to anyone who knows about them that had Natale been their coach like he made himself seem they would have not have been successful or known where to go and who to see and what to expect. Also have heard few times that dating back to when chuckie was acting boss they did there thing, scarfo got envolopes but if u did something in SP those two were who u better clear it with or pay respects to.

Merlino and his buddies are just the worst of the worst. The Philly guys seem to be more degenerate than the NY guys - if that is possible.
There is at least a semblance of decorum in the NY families.
Merlino, Mazzone, Borgesi.....
These guys are just too jocular to have powerful positions. Look at Nicodemo.
It's hard to believe these people would rise above soldier status anywhere else. It may be changing with theses guys 30 years older . But after last week down here , I don't think so . Really most of them are growing up ...

saw grande hanging out at a place in s philly after one of the games last week...didnt look like a dude in his 30s....tough livin Is he a drinker/user? You know I know very little about Philly. But if he's either a boozer or a drug user, that'll age you faster than anything else.

It's hard to believe these people would rise above soldier status anywhere else. I somewhat agree with that. Like someone else said they took over before most guys their age are even made . 90% of males who grew up in that time and took over way they did and have been as lucky as Skinny would act the same way and get involved in alot of same things. I agree you see and hear stories about them doing things and being involved ways you may not from hierarchy of the 5 new York families, but look at the time they came up how they did it and ultimately age they did it at. Put group of 20-30 something friends in that position this day and age, most would be the same way no matter where they may be from.
