Saw the recent pics of him in the rare photo's section, dude looks in great health. Have heard from some posters on here he is a wealthy man from real estate so not sure he needs the mob now, or would even want it. However, I remember a while back some guys saying he got into some beefs in prison over his loyalty to Scarfo or something?
Iv'e always been interested in this guy, remember an article from his sentencing day, and the feds were saying he was a very sharp, intelligent guy with boss potential. Also I don't condone his crimes but the guy did over 20 years inside while loads of others around him were ratting.
This is an interesting article from 1988 on his sentencing in court
http://articles.philly.com/1989-05-06/news/26114529_1_grand-jury-prison-term-murder-conspiracies

According to Scott he's a capo with all the Scarfo guys under him

Street name "Pungie Brewster" though nobody calls him that to his face.

"Family and friends of Joseph "Joey Pung" Pungitore heaved a collective sigh of relief yesterday when the 32-year-old convicted mobster was sentenced to 40 years in prison."

Sounds like a good life.

He never said joey was a capo. He said that joey and anthony are operating independently. Phil and Frank have there crew. Other scarf guys nicky the whips been shelved and is allegedly independent and joey grande is in north Jersey.

I think scadfis in Florida not sure if he us in the life and the chick we all know is back in Philly

Link to the article?

I'm sorry but that is fucking hysterical.

Here's one for example...


http://gangsterreport.com/mazzone-straw-stirs-drink-philly-mob-days/



Says in clear day, that the Pungitores are believed to be operating independently and separately within the Scarfo faction. He says nothing about either of the Pung brothers being capos.

He said maybe, he also said they are possibly under Narducci. How is that clear as day? I'm sure I remember reading a later article that stated punge was in fact in charge of the scarfo guys, not Narducci and he just had his nephews his brother etc

The point is, there isn't any mention of them being capo's. The report stated they most likely are working independently under the Scarfo faction. Hearsay is useless when theirs actual articles to support this stuff. If you remember that article, find it and post the link, that's all. Because most articles have always said that Narducci & Pungitore operate independently, Pungitore was certainly never mentioned to be the leader of the Scarfo faction, not that I can remember. Neither was Narducci for that matter. Here's another...

No mention of either man being capo's.


And another...


http://gangsterreport.com/philadelphia-mob-enters-new-era-borgesi-angelina-return-to-action/


This too, has no mention of either man being Capo's, but that they both operate their own factions within the "Scarfo faction".


Here's one more...

Another article stating that both Narducci & Pungitore operate separate crews under the "Scarfo umbrella".

"

Yep, I'd say he's working independently if this really happened!

merlino always was a fuckin'thief in the lowest way..& he was always a cheat..never payed if he lost, but collected when he won,fuckin' scumbag.I cant believe this dickhead is still breathing after all hes done.. nicky jr did "procrastinate" like his pop said , but,then again ,jr. was no brainiac.

Nicky Jr was a "brainiac", it just didn't apply to the street. He had the mind to be a white collar criminal though.

* What's that pungent smell? Oh yeah. Joey Punge in the trunk. hehehehehe

- Enough already.

* I'm just breakin' balls here.

- He was the best earner in my crew. He brought more dough to this family than you ever will.

* Why he get whacked then?

- .... he was an agitator.

Nicky jr. did procrastinate and I hear others did also. But why ,it had to do with approval. Who wants to hit a guy after all those years of wanting to ,just to get hit your self for not following orders.There were many that wanted him dead. But it comes down to you can not kill a Boss .

They tried coming in the backdoor and taking the big rackets and leaving the guys that were left to fall in line . We know it was in motion while Skinny was away ,but the feds got to Nick jr first . And I don't think it was in 07 ,I think it was the pinch before that.

And there were many that wanted Skinny out of the way ,some of it has come out and some a little of it has come out.Then there is the ones that have not come out yet.

But some how I don't think it is over. After all he is telling everyone he is out of the life. That would make him fair game..

It will come out ,it was a couple families involved it a couple different plots .

Who is the guy with Nicky Scarfo Jr. in 1:40 of this video?



And imagine two black news reporters fawning over The Crips and Bloods like Anastasia and Schratwieser fawn over Philly mobsters in this clip right here SMH.

Or maybe there is an equivalent to "The Kitchen Consigliere Angelo Lutz" on KTLA called "The Kitchen Nigga Shaquille Williams".

Looks like the actor Eric McCormack from Will and Grace

The lungs dad was a scarfo soldier who died recently and probaly the only guy in the family who didn't get indicted were was he during the stanfa merlino Natale days? Guess he was a earner. I don't believe merlino stealing the moms shit the father would have more him and no amount of time would these 2 guys let it go. They would whacked him already and they be right. Robbing made guys mom or made guys wife death sentence. If they didn't do anything they have no respect.

Old Man Pungitore, is what Leonetti calls him in his book. If him and the Blonde Babe are the same person, then yeah, he was an earner. But Joe Pung & his brother were doing more for Scarfo than the old man was during Scarfo's time.

his name is Joe capone . He is a lawyer. I think he did jail time in the late 80's. Kept his mouth shut did his time. I think he lost his right to practice law with the conviction. Used to see him alot in Margate. Very nice guy.

Looked him up.

Still going strong.

There is a 3rd brother Ralphie Punge. Very low key, very smart. Business savvy. Always heard he was looking after the legit investments for Joe and anthony. Lots of real estate and other things. He did very well for Anthony and Joe and for himself.

I could of sworn I read an article that stated that Pung and Narducci disliked each other. So I doubt they are in the same faction.

Nobody said they were in the same faction, the articles state that they run two totally separate crews WITHIN the Scarfo faction. Basically, there's two Scarfo factions.

It's crazy how many young made guys Scarfo had.

And it's not like you can say it was a bad decision, because they all mad money and did their time. Except for one of the Milano brothers.

So I watch that Netflix philly NY war crazy Phil says pung drove salvy to his death they were besties. Some guy wants and Joe grande were the shooters so the guy Wayne is Dom father the young guy recently made that may be a first making a rats kid and what happens to the other grande what his name he do a shit load of time to?

This is what I been saying for a few years. These guys don't like or respect anything that Skinny is about,or have or has ever done .

They are all killers and all know how to make money .
This is why I now think that there may not be a normal LCN family I don't see those guys kicking to Skinny .

The only way is if Skinny is not at the top !!!

People just don't understand the hate all these guys had for him,maybe all patched up but I don't think so...

Serp, we have not had a normal lcn family since march 21, 1980, & i know that you know that all else after that is complete chaos & thuggish narsisstism ,no matter who was at the controls..skinny is a punk,we all know about that squirt on georgia ave.,natale,,we'll I don't even want to talk about that,,stanfa might of had a chance if he had a tighter fist,& lingambi was a good promise which i don't know to much about.. all in all..like you have posted many times b-4,we have yet to see....

I could be wrong but I would assume their hands were tied. If it happened before they were locked up, they would have had to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he was it. UB's son is getting clipped by no one unless they know for sure. If it went down after they were arrested then I doubt they wanted to ensure the rest of their years were spent like last 30. Many made guys wanted Skinny dead. Even when Chuckie was demoted, guys knew him and Sr came up together and were once viewed much like Skinny was as kid big time family members wanted dead but was spared because of who he was related to. I would assume they didn't know how deep rift between chuckie and sr got at the time. Scarfo Sr called Joe the boss neice or daughter ugly and chuckie was banging neice or.daughter of Marconi brothers. As I understand both went to table.for it and Pics went to bat for their nephew and his best friend. What I'm trying to say is that if they coulda clipped him quick and easy itd be done. Family politics at time and history between Merlinos and Scarfos would have made people think twice about going after skinny. They did not know what we know now and how bad things would get between the two old friends.
