I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that his family's last name was changed when they came to this country. I'll have to skim through some books I read see if I can find it.

"I’m the Kitchen Consigliere. I was born Angelo Jenaro Lutz, a product of South Philadelphia. Lutz is a shortened version of my father’s name: Luzzi."

A whole one letter shorter

Wow they raided his yet to be open restaurant today, they really are going after the guy.

What'd I say, Joe? And I'm not being cocky or arrogant. Believe me, I take no pleasure in being right. But being objective doesn't make me an "FBI Fan Boy." Anyone who has history with these assholes could have seen this coming.

Anyway, here's what I posted just yesterday about that place and about the liquor license:

Well now he'll be able to explain his income.

Thanks Joeslim, I wouldn't read too much into this, the liqour license was approved. Every dwelling and business has to be inspected prior to opening or occupancy. It will be interesting to see what happens on Friday though.

You are definitely are onto something and you never came off as an FBI fanboy you do know what you're talking about, thanks

I'm not, I just figure if I come across something related I might as we'll post it, I think he'll still not go to jail Friday or for the parole violation anytime soon, they want this guy for them murders he beat. So like pizza said there not doing this for a 2 year sitdown, there's something bigger here.

Well, thank you, Joe. I know that we probably got off on the wrong foot awhile ago, and I know that probably wasn't easy for you. And I mean that .

I just try to call it like I see it. There's no sense in sugarcoating things because that doesn't do anyone any good. The Feds do not play fair. You don't get a 93.5% conviction rate at trial because your lawyers are so much better than the defense. You can only end up with a disparity like that if you're stacking the deck in your favor, which they do through any number of things.

People are probably tired of seeing these words in my posts, but I don't know anything about Philly or about Joey Merlino. But I know firsthand what the Feds are capable of stooping to when they want someone bad enough. And it's just blatantly obvious that Joey Merlino is one of those people. They'll never leave him alone. Ever.

It's funny, though (ironic funny, not ha ha funny). Because it seems like Nicky Scarfo's son and Chuckie Merlino's son, whose lives were so intertwined in Philadelphia 25 years ago, are both destined to suffer the same fates as their fathers.

Nicky Scarfo Junior is obviously a reasonably intelligent man. He could have made a nice living for himself if he lived legitimately.

Merlino though.... could the scumbag not have waited a little longer to start consorting with known felons? He walked into it. He did the Feds work for them.

Merlino is probably doing a Gravano and peddling drugs to teens over there.

I don't think he's slept or eaten since.

Carmela, your words cut through people like a sword.

I knew the happy face smiley was a mistake. Soon as I posted it .

Pizza you funny guy you, yeah life's been rough since our last conversation so I decided to be good on here since lol

You can stop saying "You dont know any of these people" you have earned the respect of the board to speak your mind on any city so please just keep posting, shit i bet 99% of people on here dont know any of the philly guys personally, i sure dont lol. I know Chicago but I refuse to speak on anyone I know

Anyways im a fan of the whole Philly story and how the young turks came up, merlino is an interesting character, there should be an HBO tv series on these guys, there a modern day messed up Mob lol it would be a dark comedy for sure but they really do stand by what they believe in, and that you have to respect, there definitley not posers.
Thanks

Skinny Joey Merlino and a fan on the beach in Boca?


More like Joey and his wife...


I don't know who's more mental, the feds or the writers .

Your a day late and dollar short on this one my friend lol

His wife is smoking hot by the way.

Personally, the writers sicken me more than the Feds. As corrupt as the Feds can be, they do have a job to do.

But these writers? They can only dream of having the "old Mafia" to write about, so they sensationalize the shit out of every last Mob case today, no matter how obscure. They're a bunch of vultures. And to top it all off, they're about as untalented a bunch of hacks as I've ever seen.

Whatever happened to guys like Jimmy Breslin? This Internet shit has ruined journalism for good. There's no way to bring it back. It honestly makes me sad.

Jimmy Breslin is a legend and you're absolutely right. The internet changed the world entirely overnight. It is sad.

I would also like to c a mini doc on The Merlino Crew in the 90s but my dream wd be a Joey Merlino tell all book from his pov from groeing up under his dad chuckie to an errand boy for Nicky Scarfo and salvie to the 80s To double crossing da Scarfos muscling in on the street tax to Daunte and Luigis 1989 to the Merlino Stanfa war of the 90s to makim Natale da figurehead till post prison wd be a awesome book.. Only in a dreamworld but hope they makr a good doc soon

Jip that would fun to watch. Are you surprised how well the Bills are doing, much better than I thought they would. Orton had a decent game against the Vikes. Would be nice to see them get back into the playoff picture after all these years.

It all went down hill starting with Scott Burnstein. I think him and Phillip are going on the view tomorrow with rosie to promote the third expanded edition of " Mafia Prince"

What's so dishonorable about the mob writters? It's a racket just like anything else

Ya Nny78 im excited if we beat da jets this wk we go into da buy 5 and 3 but ya I think r secondary needs wk and mayb a good corner we r an up and comer hav to c
