Yes i know him, but i have not seen him for a while. Anthony is a great guy. He was a regular at memories in margate for a long time, so was Phil Ligambi. I used to hang out with Anthony in the summer alot over the years. Unlike most mob guys he was a not a nasty motherfucker.

I have to admit, I didn't even know these two guys existed. Then again, I'm not from Philly and only watch the Anastasia videos from time to time. Are they made?

Im not from philly either, im from Jersey. Both guys are made.Anthony is a very low key guy, i know he is hook up in a few restaurants and he is involved producing low budget movies. There are a few low budget mob movies starring Sal Mazzotta that were produced by Anthony and Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joes son is trying to be an actor actually. Steven Mazzone is actually a pretty good guy to although it doesn't appear in the video.He is Not like Angelina and Merlino were. But I also saw them at Memories many of times. Phil has a house in Longport and Uncle Joe use to rent or stay with him I believe. I don't think Phil was even made until Joe got the big seat. I hear Anthony is a nice guy as well. Phil's kids are nice guys to. Phil's oldest son died when he was a teenager but his other two sons are very nice. I was kind of surprised to see Phil in the video actually.

Uncle Joe has 3 sons, Steven is the actor, Mark grad. from Villanova, and Joey jr. is a drunk. I only met Phil Ligambi Jr a few times, was a nice guy. He is very close with Anthony Borgesi. George Borgesi may hate his Uncle, but Anthony is very close with his Uncle Joe and the whole Ligambi family.I guess by that footage he and Phil are looking after Uncle Joe's interest. Like i said before Anthony is a great fucking guy.

Flamingo...Michael Ligambi pic was in the south philly review yesterday becuase its the aniversay of his death or his birthday...I forget. He was Phil's oldest son. He also has sons PJ and Joey. PJ is a awesome guy. I don't know Uncle Joe's sons that well but I know that one is always out and about and the one that is the actor in NY is steven like you said. Phil use to sit on the beach in longport at 33rd street. Not sure how much he will be down there this year.

But I haven't heard much else on the case or the new acting boss since the mazzone video but someone has to be picking up that poker machine money and the rest of it. Those poker machines are still everywhere and are still in every bar that was in the indictment.

Sp, i have met PJ Ligambi a few times and he was a very nice guy, PJ and Anthony Borgesi are really close.Phil Ligambi used to be a regular on fridays at Memories.

Its going to be interesting to see what happens in a few months with this change of power going to Mazzone.

Is the "PJ" you guys mentioning Phil Ligambi Jr?

Yes Phillykid, we are talking about Phil Ligambi Jr.

Thanks thats what I figured.

Quick thing though. I always hear that Phil Ligambi is a made guy...would that be referring to Phil Sr or PJ....or both? PJ has gotta be 40 now so maybe he got down while Joe was boss.

Why doesnt anyone talk about Lanceoletti becoming boss?

What will happen in 3 yrs when Staino gets out? How can he get in line behind Mazzone and Chang? Who will collect the video poker money then?

Lancellotti doesn't want the heat I suppose, I think he likes being in the background..I mean the guy has been in the inner circle of both Merlino & Ligambi and hasn't been indicted...I'd rather stay out of jail than be a boss these days.

These guys r some real knuckleheads! Mazzone gets out of prison, after doing a long stretch, and Fox News films him, not the FBI! This is crazy! Dave Shratwieser has some serious balls. I will give it to him. Mazzone is destined to do life in prison, he most not even care about his real family.

Fox News up in Boston and the I-Team (CBS) in Chicago are also like that. Very aggressive about getting the story on the local mob.

Remember when they walked right up to DiFronzo?

^^^ awesome vid, the outfit is a secretive org thats for sure

How many made guys do ppl reckon Philly have on the streets today? At their peak did they have about 60-70 guys?

They've got about 25 or so members currently active on the street. So about half the family. The other half being in prison or inactive.

Theres a new mob talk on MyFoxphilly.com. Its Dave Stratweiser and George Anasastia. They have been going down the list of guys in the idictment. They talk bout Mousie, Borgesi and Angelina this time. They also get into Bent Lou and how Frankie the fixer was wearing that wire. Nothing really new just like there work.

Good video footage though...

Yes always! I love georges work but I like when George and Dave work together. Dave asks more questions that a regular veiwer would want to know while George really gets into the meat of the mob. Fox always does good investigative reporting here in philly at least.

In this video they go into how many years these guys could potentially get. I think thats a great dynamic in this story. Cause you got guys like Mousie whose been in and out of jail his whole life then theres Staino whose never been arrested. Then you have Angelina whose part in this case isn't that big but hes been in and out of trouble so much he could end up getting a decent amount of time.

For a guy who's 80-years-old, DiFronzo looks beautiful. I'd love to know his secret.

Nice talkin' to ya!

Had a dream about Uncle Joe last night. Me and him were cruising on Hollywood Blvd. when we got pulled over by the LAPD. Uncle Joe, who was driving, said he couldn't afford to pay any more tickets and had decided to give up Mousie. I was completely shocked and did not know what to do. Deep down I wanted to call Mousie right away, but because I was in such shock, I felt like I couldn't do anything. We drove down to the police station where Uncle Joe told them everything about Mousie. The last thing I remember is Uncle Joe laughing with the police officers and high fiving them like a cocksucker.

I told you not to eat spicy food, then go right to sleep wearing your aunt Josephine's girdle.

New George Anastasia Mob Scene:

You're absolutely right. That fucking girdle.

I know Anthony Borgesi very well, hes a great guy as somebody else stated. Not only that but he would drop Mazzone in one punch but instead has to stand there and take it from a guy who wouldnt last a more than 3 seconds one on one combat.

I really enjoy his vids about Philly. Most crime journlists don't even bother of informing us that way and only want us to buy their books. So Anastasia is doing a great job, and I haven't even read one book he wrote, but I'm sure I will some time in the future.

just saw that new Anastasia video,I know a lot of u guys in the beginning were going this is a waste of time these charges but it seems like there could be some serious jail time with all their priors.I doubt there will be pleas because unless somebody is willing to give up something big what would the state gain by a plea bargain.In 1 of his earlier videos Anastasia said with wire-taps and tapes you can't go wrong,its almost always a guarenteed victory.You can't cross-examine tapes.If someone came up to you at work and tapped you on the shoulder and said come with me your going to prison for 8 maybe 10 years,you would probably think it was the end of the world.That can be a long time ,depending on how you look at it.

yeah i agree sonny! he never promotes his stuff on mobtalk even if there isn't anything new going on he always finds something to tide u over with. for a while i was tired of hearing about the indictments because myself and alot of other people thought they were just rumors he was making up! my bad!
