I bet Philip Leonetti could return to Philly and nothing would happen any more. A lot of these witness protection guys don't seem to fear the present day mob.

I doubt it, there are too many guys out on the street that were effected by him. Some of the guys he helped put away are now back on the street and some are soon to be realesed. You also have many sons, nephews, and even grandkids of these guys very active in LCN.

But would they do anything? It would be hard to get away with it, and we have seen quite a few high profile guys living quite openly. These families seem not to be as ruthless as they used to be. Who would you say would be likely to try who is actually active on the streets now?

I agree that that nobody from The Phila family would do anything ! They don't seem to be killers , and don't forget the guys that did cooperate were killers ! So who should be afraid of who ! Iam not defending the rats in anyway,but they are still killers !

I agree with you.

I hate to get off-topic anyone buy John Veasey's book. I'm think it doesn't sounds that good, is there a paperback ed. coming out?

nope only kindle edition

a few guys already bought/read it on real deal they say its pretty decent

its good

So was it DeNario that taught Veasey how many bodys fit in a cad. trunk ? Check out DeNario's car saleman piece on U-Tube worth the time.

so a poster over on the rdf called tony monte posted an "update" on whats going on in philly, this is what he said:

Here is some info I picked up recently from a few people from downtown:

Joey Merlino is runnings through Mazzone and Johnny Chang.

Johnny Chang and Mike Lancelloti are very close. Young Mike Chang is in jail for selling coke and works alot with the blacks much to disappointment of Johnny Chang and Mike Lance.

Wayne Grande's son Dominick is the right hand man to Anthony Nicodemo...Anthony Nicodemo carries ALOT OF weight in south philly...funny guy but no one to mess with.

Most if not all of the Scarfo guys getting out are not invovled in anything and don't want to get back in it. But there is talk that Phill Narducci can be a problem when he gets out...feeling like he is "owed" something for going away. I'm told he is not playing with full deck. Frank Jr. wants nothing to do with the life.

The feds are really going after Damion Caneliccio to get him top turn,he has two prior drug arrests..and is suppose to one of the guys involved in the Johnny Gongs hit. Supposedly it was him and Nicodemo the shooters and Mikey Lance was the look out outside.

Thanks for the update DD.

So sounds like Merlino is back on top but running things from a distance?

who knows if this is all true though?

yea, we dont know if this is true or not but i guess time (or GA) will tell

This part is true. Young Chang has always been in trouble. A youger guy from my neighborhood use to be good friends with him and visits him. Hes gotten into it for all types of shit. I think he has time in jersey to do to when hes done this bid. Grande has been on the edge for some time. He use to hang around 10th and O and then he starting hanging with Al Lance and now hes been with Nicodemo since the Borgata case. Nicodemo and Mikey Lance are probably some of the bigger earners in south Philly. Nicodemo runs a semi legit business to doing Insurance adjustments on houses. I have no idea whose running things but I am pretty sure Mazzone, Chang and Lance have something to say about it on the street.

So what do you think they are running ?

Just so people are aware there are a few (mcscott, and myself via my blog) confirmed sources that Damion Canalichio has flipped and will pin the Johnny Gongs hit on Ligambi and Merlino...

Mark Rossetti and Bobby DeLuca in New England...

Lou Monacello and Damion Canalichio in Philly...

The Nicky Stefanelli tapes...

lets not forget the upcoming trial of vinny tv and tommy shots, looks like it will be an interesting 2012 for LCN

lets not forget the probable upcoming indictments which are coming down the pipeline as we speak..

Anymore news on the Damion Canallchio guy ? Just curious if there were any articles etc ?

Not yet, i would say we hear GA write an article/video on it within a weeks time, thats if its true (very likely is)

Should be interesting to see what happens !

Damion fucking flipped? That is fucking big.

Just curious, who is young Mike Chang? the son of Mikey Chang? Didnt know he had kids if so, did he grow up in South Philly or Jersey?

The Johnny Gongs hit happened under Ligambi. I think Joey has nothing to worry about.

thats a dam lie!don't be puttin out false information as if you know somethin!

everybody in the joint got hep c i know it kills ya liver but wat your saying is crazy, or a death wish.

Just as an FYI, Damion has NOT flipped as of this writing.

^^^^^^^Who who your confirmed sources, you should watch "Shattered Glass."

They test you were in quarantine its voluntarily for hiv, hep c, I dont know what state or country your referring too?

john john veasey is nothing but a lifelong junkie, whatever money he makes on that bs ebook he will blow in drugs. This is the reason why Stratweiser lost that mob talk on fox on friday nights because he bought into this bs that John John managed 3 dealerships and made salesman of the year. Then why would they fire him so fast if he had that much pull. Startweiser tried to make him out to be a folk hero when in realty hes just a junkie lowlife street bum that will wind up in homeless shelters or in jail from robbing somebody. Hes got hep cause of his drug use and he wants to blame the prison system like he tried to state in a morning show on fox to try to sell his book.
