yes all the time ,he got less friendly as he got bigger..i was around all of 70s 80s and part of 90s

yes i knew him what would u want to know.

What was Scarfo (the father) like did he try to act like the boss around non-involved people or could he put on a straight face if he needed to?

all boss all the time.He could b quiet but you allways knew his eyes were on you..never would come in the office if there was stranger there ..

How successful was scarfo sr with women? If he wasn't murdering was he womanizing?

Well he always had them because he hated his wife..like bad

Would you describe him as similar to joe pesci in goodfellas?

no because i knew him a long time ,i am sure Pesci could play him.

i'm surprised his family didn't whack him out, salvie testa should have made a move

OMG Salvie had his back and i dont think he thought anything about being hit.but yes he would have.Him and Phil would have done a good job.Phil said some of the stuff he was thinking in his book but there was more.

In past Philly mob books Nicky jr is often described as a spoiled brat and not the sharpest knife. Is that a good description from what you know of him? He has been involved in some slightly more intellectually based crimes than the average mobster, yet he also doesn't seem to get away with much. What's your impression of him?

I have known him his hole life ,That being said he could of been a lot worse ,So i would say no,and yes he picked up things quick ,he was one of the first in the fam to be up with computer age stuff,But he did not have chance when he was of age all was falling down around him .He never had people under him to take the heat it was him right there as soon as you looked at what was going on,Maybe if he could of got rolling he may have been good .

Thanks for the reply. Interesting stuff.

Leonetti mentioned his book coming back to AC to visit a family member in a restaurant and Nicky Jr being there. Apparently they had a civil conversation. Did Nicky lose credibility over the meeting, or was it not "known" until the book came out?

well nicky jr. did not tell me or any of our guys .not button men .when i say our guys ,Phil is no joke he will walk right up to anyone now he is not stupid.It would be on his terms and u would not know if he wanted to talk..He is around a lot more then people think .and dont listen to all people that say he looks diff he looks the same.And he has always been good guy , as long as not mob stuff.He goes right in old mob joints and eats or drinks ,But on his terms .what else ?

My old pal will be on tonight nat geo i think ....

Phil's a stone cold fucking killer, don't let him fool you. He was almost as bad as his Uncle. He loved the life and playing the part. He says he tried to save Testa....he's full of fucking shit.

I bet Scarfo Sr had a fucking heart attack when he found out Nicky Jr met with Phil and didn't even try to kill him.

How can u say that about Phil..nice guy

OOOO and yea sr.eyes r still popping out of his head i love it.he is mad at jr.

Probably why they moved him to the medical center at Butner.

Scarfo's in his 80's, wonder how long he'll be around. They must of moved him to the medical center for a reason. Shit, i'm hoping he makes it to his parole date when he'll be over 100 years old. Crazy little fucker, i bet even at 100 he'll try to find and kill Phil.

Edit : Correction, now it just says he's at the medium security part of Butner, not in the medical ward. Thank God! I really hope he makes it to his parole date.

man that would be something,i would love to tell him i was there when Phil flipped ,I was right with Maria and her sisters..

Who do you think Nicky Sr wants to kill more...Merlino or Phil?

Hey Serpiente, I heard that when Scarfo Sr. Phil and Chuckie went to see Gotti, chuckie did what he did best, got shit faced. Gotti wanted him wacked for being a drunk and disrespectful, but Scarfo instead knocked him down in rank.Phil tells another story in his book. What did you hear for the knock down?

Ok this one has been twisted i dont think Chuckie did that because Phil never told that ,that way and i never asked,so i dont think it happend ,we would of known 10 times fold..He drank into blackout all the time but not there not then.But Nicky did not like to see people drunk hear them drunk .

GCarlo That would be Phil 1st skinny second only because he did not shot Johnny right next to nicky and did not kill nick

I heard that from someone in NY It Made sense with Chuckie's legendary drinking and later John's dislike for Nicky. Thanks, One more what's Anthony Borgesi's claim to fame?

How do i put the question in a block inside my answer,i see it but cant do it..

Hit the quote on the bottom of box and then it will show in the answer.

OK thankyou , and Phil used my name in his book but he was nice...

Serpiente can you answer my earlier question about Anthony Borgesi? Thanks

well maybe george came around lots but was not there everyday so i did not get to see him each time he was down...but ask
