hes under the microscope currently,wikileak leaked the doc...had the website they were betting and everything, will see if i can find

(U//LES) Sisto relocated to Florida and used to run with Merlino’s crew in Philadelphia. He is
related to USPER Steven Mazzone, a caporegime in the Philadelphia LCN crime family.
Analyst Note: Ligambi may appoint Mazzone as the new boss.

(U//LES) Merlino is building a relationship with an identified, wealthy and well-connected
individual who is allegedly getting a Rolls Royce for Merlino. The same individual is
purportedly going to buy a one million dollar home in West Palm Beach, Florida for Merlino.

interestingly enough and if things couldnt get weirder in mafioso land it looks like he hooked up with Tumac's kid who is a Luchese soldier, especially with Jr's trial and him trying to take over philly for the Luchese's

Great find Cheech.

Is Anthony Accentturo Jnr stood on? Naming his company 'Like Father Like Son, LLC'.
Excuse the language but what, a, fucking, retard. Why not call it 'Hey Feds please investigate my ass, LLC' or 'Luchesse family industies florida branch, LLC'.

Jeezus some of these guys....

Cheech Im not sure where you're spending your days but the above looks suspiciously like an Al-Quaeda website.

'Al-Akbar'?

Just because its arabic its Al-Quaeda related? Wow. I hope you're joking.

Of oourse he was joking.

But just for the record, are you Arabic or a self hating white liberal?

Now THAT was a joke .

Is Florida considered a open zone for mafia? I would think you step on other people's toes like the Gambinos when Philly just up and starts a independent crew there. Plus I don't know how running a crew in florida with the FBI up your ass is any safer or more profitable than just taking the offical role as boss in philly.

As for the document, seems like a bunch of guess work and what-if scenarios. Still interesting stuff tho.

Yes.


Exactly. Like Vinny Artuso's crew is just gonna bow down because Prince Joey showed up.


It's not. A high profile guy on the Federal radar is gonna end up with legal problems wherever he goes. There are more interstate grand jury subpoenas served between New York and Florida than any other two states in the nation.

I'm actually neither. I wasn't in any way offended, but it would have just been plain out stupid on his behalf if he was serious. Good joke however.

Well i guess it can be looked at any way, if he is committing felonies or running a crew or family in Florida or Philly it is the same FBI that we all agree that are out for him.
This is not just him the Feds have it out for anyone that's connected to a mafia case. The limelight and promotions they receive from a mob case.

i had a funny joke but now a days you cant fool around, especially on a public board

respect to you sonny b

see what I did there PB, Im learning

Yeah and when a politician is in the limelight more then likely there charges are DROPPED

/me chuckles.

Ah shenanigans.

Geeze If you want to ever find out anything about these guys, ALL of their personal info is on here. Cells, SSN, Address...

By that logic every mobster would retire after there first long stint in prison. These guys have a different mentality than noncriminals. Look at guys like Peter Limone or Sonny Franzese.

The difference is Ted, he's the boss, not just 'another mobster'.

Just 'another mobster' wouldnt be tasting bryll cream 24/7 (Uncle Junior shoutout).

Well then again, by that logic no mobster would want to be boss. Yet we still have guys like Crea, Cefalu and Mancuso (who was named boss while still in prison). And I'm sure Mazzone would jump at the opportunity to become boss if Ligambi has retires and Merlino has quit the mob life.

You're right.
Because we have bosses no mobster would rationally retire.
Because we have mobsters who've done prison stints, everyone's still in the game.

Crea proves that Merlino's still in the game.
You know, by logic n all.

Ted,

The LCN appear to be moving into more and more semi-legit businesses that involve fraud,scams and tax evasion, white collar stuff, that have low sentencing guidelines if convicted.

I maybe proved to be naive but I'm more apt too believe he isn't boss and isn't getting envelopes

That's not what I'm saying AT ALL. So quit the strawman arguments. I'm just refuting your argument where you suggest that Merlino quitting the life is the only logical prediction simply because he knows that he has high chance of going back to prison. Merlino is a criminal. The US has a recidivism rate of over 60% (probably a lot higher amongst Mafia members), so how is it hard to believe that Merlino could go back to Philly and pick up where he left off?

I was being facetious granted. But the point is valid.

I was merely insinuating that the obvious logical choice would be for Merlino to retire. And thats the most probable outcome based on my previous listed reasons.

You responded with what I thought was a ridiculous line of reasoning ("By that logic all mobsters who do long stints in prison should retire") which I took to the enth degree to illustrate the flaws in your reasoning.

He did a decent chunk of time probably made a few new connections legit or not plus support from phila and wannabe's down in florida he can mooch off all these humps especially all his new yuppie friends in florida

Anyone heard of the secret mobster band called Retire to Florida?

I have read that the 5 families and the Philly LCN are active in South Florida in traditional rackets as well as semi legit businesses like telemarketing scams, high end prostitution rings, the construction industry, the mortgage industry, online and off shore gambling like the cruises to nowhere, medical clinics that provide weight loss, pain management and mens clinics that provide viagara and other ED meds. An emerging market may be with these outpatient suboxone clinics popping up all over down here, its low overhead and high profit margins and unfortunately ripe for insurance fraud.I would be interested to hear from some of the more experienced posters on if it is still open territory or organized on some level.

I never heard of any of the guys who are said to be in Merlino's Florida crew as far as being guys on the street. Any other Philly guys hear of any of them? I can imagine this is a far reach for the Feds to think that guys from South Philly who relocated to Fla have to now be part of a crew with Joey. I highly doubt Joey would trust what appears to be perhaps wannabes with no real bones made with his freedom.

There was just a big raid down in Florida on the mills seems like they do a big raid every year or every 2 years. Those towns in the Palm Beaches are all recovery towns and there is plenty of fraud that goes on.

It's a scam to a degree I guess it's what you can say is legit on paper but highly unethical. They use plenty of like mob tactics too implement these rehab centers and pain mills.

The biggest part of the scam in a rehab is making it a non hardship facility so when people might pay a bill or two or three the insurance wouldn't cover legally the receipet isn't going to have to pay the bills. But you literally sign over of attorney to an admin., can't use a phone for a week, must right your phone contacts down meanwhile employers who have interacted with you will call people on your call list..gran parents,wife, gf,bf,friends ,boss,co-workers, etc...to make things worse then they seem to try and keep you there longer. If they know if you have to be there legally then their really be "padding" your insurance bill.
