but then again that guy mousie getting 16yrs for dumb shit maybe he did quit. but its like all this guys are crazy. look at that bonanoo guy nick santoro guy done like 20yrs off and on and just always goes back like jerry chilli ect. vinny animal in boston might have quit after doing 17yrs.

You always hear how killing a boss is one of those sacred mob rules you can never break. Well how come for all that time Merlino was trying daily to kill a boss that NY picked, nobody came down from NY and either read him the riot act or killed him?

Funny how that works.

There are lots of scrfo guys around 12,14 comming out ,and there are associates that are doing there own thing ,But they would love to get organized and make money like the old days ,I would say there are just as many waiting as there is in right now...skinny better hide new york is involved can u tell by the little moves that r being made...come on Joey

Well there was that tapped phone call recording between stanfa and one of the sicilian gambinos. And stanfa was complaining about merlino and how he just wanted new york to send some guys down to help take him out, and the gambino said that they were"at his disposal" but then they mever sent anybody.

Exactly. So where were those Genovese guys that consider themselves to be the enforcers of the rules then? Merlino should of been killed after his first attempt to kill Stanfa if we are to believe those rules.

The zips had their own major problems in the 1990's. I'm talking about the commission. Why didn't they get involved when Merlino was trying to kill a sitting boss? He should of been dealt with. If he didn't back off, he should of been killed. Right?

Ya i gotta think pre commision trial they they wouldve gotten involved. But during the 90s who wouldve gotten involved? Gotti who did the same exact thing(or was he already in prison when this was happening?), vic and gas psycho asses, and the both the bonnanos and the columbos didnt really have enough influence to do anything. And the only reason i can think about the chin not getting involved is maybe the geneveses were somehow profiting from all the chaos like they did after the bruno hit.

Dont mean jump in 5 cars and start making moves,There are feelers out there more then norm ,Stanfa was a joke to new york look at the guys he had around ,the boys were belly laughing at his guys look like little rascals ,and when he called he was led on talk in circles to him they did.. it is the right time when these guys get out they have history and knowlege.and philly has some older guys ,its the right time..If they dont kill each other

If he smart he will stay out of philly.

Rules are rules...right?

It was NY who picked Stanfa and it was NY that installed him as the boss. He might of been the biggest moron in the world but when a soldier can just start going after the boss and trying daily to kill him, well isn't that a big no no?

According to your pal Phill it was the commission that gave Stanfa the job so Merlino going after him is really a big fuck you to the NY bosses. Wouldn't you agree on that?

Yes u r right ,but once stanfa got there he put all the goffy mfers in philly he could not find one Italian the ones that were around were on dope.New York had to see it a like i said laughed and said let the stupid fuck get wacked..

: ( I think Natalie is gorgeous ... and I do think she resembles both her father and brother. I haven't see any recent pictures of their mom.

what the girl back on page 3

Theres no doubt in my mind that merlino is the boss, when his probation is over he should stay in florida and call shots from there

The streets will run with red....

If borgesi is out bodies will drop ...

Rita was always my favorite Merlino. I always joke she's probably the toughest Merlino out of all of them.

Here's a decent picture of Natalie with Ligambi and Staino from at least 10 years ago. I think it's from when Joey was on trial like 13 or 14 years ago but i'm not positive. She's alot younger then her brother and sister.

Yes Borgesi is another wildcard. I think theres a real good chance he beats the case and is soon back in philly. He beat the 13 charges that i think this case is based on but for some reason the jury didn't come to a decision on the racketeering charge. I really thought they should of made it 14 out of 14 instead of not guilty on 13 out of 14 with the big charge left unsettled. But thats just my opinion on the case. They might have more evidence now at the second trial but i'm really not sure.

She looks better all natural very pretty girl back than.

Also Staino looks like a straight creep.

@serpiente: its understood by everyone that merlino is the boss, there will be no bloodshed

Yea Yea Yea this is not something know...this is something i want..you will not here me put up a fuss unless i know ..and right yet i have not herd..but i can wish

complete addict... loll

What's with joeys restrictions? If any?? Is he allowed to leave florida? I don't know what's going on in philly at all its a cluster fuck with the administration waiting for retrials and other ones already sentenced, then nicodemo waiting for his shit to get settled, could beat the case,could go down for murder, or he could flip.. All I do know is joey must be geting serious money from somewhere, his wife and kids are living very comfortable in ocean township.. Joeys sitting on fucking yachts in florida and I know he was driving a white Ferrari in jersey a couple days ago..

As per any early relase/parole or whatever, the big 2 are u most be gainfully employed and no associating with known criminals. Not sure about anything specific about joeys restrictions though except that he should be off restrictions pretty soon.

You saw him driving a white Ferrari in NJ just a few days ago...????

I don't know about him in a white Ferrari but he was definately In jersey the other day visiting

Where was he spotted? The Washington Township area? Alot of people from south philly have moved there over the years. Right across the WW Bridge from their old neighborhoods in philly.

Idk where it was exactly but someone I know is a friend of his and they put up pictures online of them hanging out

Margate, NJ, I seen him along with Chang and their wives this past Saturday.

Didn't the Merlino's have a house in Margate?
