https://gangsterreport.com/the-prod...e-in-half-decade-mob-gossip-mill-ablaze/The Prodigal Son Returns: Skinny Joey Back In South Philly For First Time In Half Decade, Mob Gossip Mill Ablaze Scott Burnstein - September 16, 2021 ![[Linked Image]](https://gangsterreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Frang-Joey-768x728.jpg) September 16, 2021 – Philadelphia mafia don Joseph (Skinny Joey) Merlino has been making the rounds in the old neighborhood lately, returning to the City of Brotherly Love for the first time in five years. First on his agenda was reuniting with his mom, Rita, who he had not seen in person since 2018. The handsome, swashbuckling 59-year old gangland figure relocated to Boca Raton, Florida in 2011 upon his release from prison on a racketeering conviction. The FBI believes he runs the Bruno-Scarfo crime family from afar using a series of proxies and front bosses. Merlino took control of the crime family in the 1990s when he was just in his thirties by winning a shooting war for power. Per sources and media reports, the Skinny One was present for a glad-handing session with the rank-and-file at the local mob clubhouse in South Philly at Ninth & Christian in the first few days of his return and made his way to at least one meeting with his attorney, the venerable Eddie Jacobs. Paparazzi and federal surveillance units were snapping photos simultaneously as Merlino took in the Philadelphia Phillies-Colorado Rockies MLB game last Thursday and Friday nights from box seats at Citizens Bank Park. Merlino’s daughter dates a member of the Colorado Rockie s. Following his Friday night at the ballgame, Merlino and his entourage went clubbing and hit up Rouge in Rittenhouse Square. Over the weekend, he dined at some of his old-school favorite haunts like Chickie’s & Pete’s and The Saloon. He watched the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFL opener Sunday afternoon at Chickie’s & Pete’s. Merlino got off his parole restrictions (from a 2016 gambling pinch) back in July and is allowed to meet with anybody he wants. According to sources, he has met with several of his high-ranking mob lieutenants so far during his stay. This weekend, he will head to the wedding of a close associate’s daughter. Fox29 and Mob Talk Sitdown News Dave Schratwieser was the first to report on the particulars of Merlino’s return to South Philly.

That cheese sauce though! I’ve tried doing it myself and can’t pull it off. Otherwise yeah it’s just crinkle fries and old bay. Well this thread has really veered off course.

I think it's over for these guys, those stupid, senseless wars already put everyone on the map, plus you had the Scarfo reign. They're finished I think. Yea, but 4 my roll of the dice, which was my day & certain associates, Scarfo's men were fearless & most (not all) killers...Faffy ,( whom I tried 2 buy a small boat )..back in the mid 80s from in Longport nj.w/ nil results.......( I was a kid)..early 20s...Phil Narducchie ..a real gangster back in our day...& Nicky Whip who would kill on command if told by Mr. Scarfo...also ..lets not forget the best killer of the day ..Salvie..whom I DID NOT KNOW on a "let's have a beer situation"...but alas was aware of the last day arguments that he & Nicky got into @ 28 n. Georgia Ave...........alas told .as a young man..the man I Iiked the most from small talk & genuine personality on a 2 time encounter was Nicky Crow...that man was funny & full of heist knowledge..he could go on forever & still make u laugh w/out being scared of the real person u urself knew who u were talking 2.....I'm rambling 2 much about old shit & it's time 4 me 2 shut up & go 2 bed (I listen 2 my wife who in these days , control me after 1 2 many Blue Moon beers...)..Later.

I don’t know how these guys are going to stay out of the joint ….
The people in the game the wires that can be hidden even if you are checked you cant find easy .
Dom is facing time and there are not to many active crews to generate cash let alone keep Skinny living large .
Dom and Nick’s hold everything in there hand as far as Skinny and the top 7 in that family.
If one of them ever flipped it would really change Philly forever. Serp....In ur opinion ..if Skinny were out of the picture 4 some reason or another..... who'd b ur choice as #1??] Well i keep saying there are not anymore rackets …. And then theres a bust …. I say Faffy if he wants it or Phil N if still active …. They did there time …. I know theres a few more out there that did there time but don’t seam to be that active but who knows ….Stevie M or Lance The younger guys like Dom G to me are the only crew hustling but there must be more because theres a lots of guys that are still in south Philly and there not working …. And we all know a regular guy making 100,000$ a year the money is gone at year end easily …. So these guys must be making 200,000$ just to be able to live where they live drive what they drive and spend summers down here ….. Christ my neighbor is getting 45,000 $ a month for his house …. So its not cheep.
