Merlino is still on supervised release and the feds definatly have a raging hard on for him, so i doubt he would even consider doing anything that would get him sent back to prison over a low life like paciello. And i said this in the philly thread and ill say it again that the fact merlino is having meetings with that jerkoff danny provenzano about making a movie together should speak volumes that hes pretty much done with LCN. But hey i could be wrong, you never know.
