pmac bar rescue is hilarious, what do you think Joey's going to get for the violations tomorrow? I'm guessing 6 months.

I don't think it's going to end tomorrow. But if it does end tomorrow, and the judge does rule against Merlino, I'm betting on at least a year. That's long enough for the Feds to get their ducks in a row after the Nicodemo trial in January.

Looks like the team is staying in Buffalo, now that Terry Pegula bought them. Here's a good video on the philly mob with Bill Kurtis.

When did that video come out?? 15 years ago? Thanks for the update.

Whats the most time they could send Merlino back to prison for? Now if he does have to do more time, do they reset the probation clock upon his release, will he have that same 3 year probation again? Or will his sentence be maxed out and be considered completed?

Bar rescue is good. John T cracks me up.

No jail tomorrow, house arrest is my guess...goodnight fellas

Debbie gonne be ther eh?

They have to give him a weighted vest with a gps tracker it might have kevlar in it to wear around in boca under his clothes the next 6 months

A weighted vest? Ok, thanks Red.

Anybody know what the max is he's looking at. He only had a couple weeks left on his probation. They can't give him more then a few months, Right? Wrong?

I think it's been proven that a Federal Judge can interpret these situations as he sees fit. But someone said that he can violate him from the first day he met with convicted felons. I'm not paying close attention, but I think it was 2011 or 2012, right?

So one year, two years, house arrest, who knows? Maybe we'll know after court today. Maybe there's another adjournment.

Her words were directed at me. And she can say anything she wants to me.

well the restaurant rumors are true... his "south philly home family style Italian food" place is in the works... ill post a picture of the sign In front that reads "Merlinos"....

wonder how its going to do business wise.. either use it as a nice front to turn his street money legitimate.... or it becomes every fanboys favorite spot and makes a ton of money.... or it sucks dick and is closed within a year.. I guess we will see... also curious to see whats going to happen if he has to go back to the can considering he just moved his wife and younger daughter down to boca with him....they cant be too excited about finally living together as a family it then him going back to prison after 2 months... but that's the life.... extreme highs and lowest of lows.. especially for the family members.

Dave S of fox 29 is at courthouse in philly and he was stating that the n jersey guys that just got busted were planning on taking over Philly and taking out mazzone borgesi and uncle joe...but plans fizzled

He was part of the 2000 plot. Not recently.

I can't imagine any LCN family trying to come down and take from Philly. It's not like Philly has every book and shy under their protection/control. There are more independents than connected players.

Philly doesn't control construction or trash or any other traditional mob racket. they have some gambling. Unless the Genovese had some "world domination" plot for Delaware Valley, murdering a few people for a few hundred thousand and a ton of exposure just aint worth it.

Dave S tweeted out from court that broward detectives were doing a criminal investigation into joey merlino and that is how they found the violation...

Broward County, Palm Beach County, FDLE, FBI, and you can probably throw in the U.S. Marshals. When the State of Florida is asked by the Feds to take part in a joint task force type of situation, they jump in with both feet. Especially when a Northerner is the target of the investigation. They don't like us down there (but I don't like New York in February, so I ain't going nowehere ).

Dave S needs to get a little wet behind the ears and quit chasing his imaginary boyfriend (merlino).

Maybe he's just looking for job security as it seems a lot of people are interested in what he's up to.

I think we both can agree the G men are gonna be on his ass for the rest of his natural life.

I think he think's if that fat riceball angelo mutt can open his ownn joint why can't joey eh? Vegas if franchises it out he wants you to be his guy out there.

No doubt, Mikey.

Good to see you posting again .

I ment Dave S is looking for job security you moron

I'm allways lurking while I'm working my friend....

alberti is big into appraisals.... pretty dumb move for joey to meet chang out in the open like that, maybe a subliminal f - off

old info, its in all the articles. dave s is a hack

here is what i said over a month ago

But he's on the Internet. It must be true.

Are you trying to tell me that you don't have to be credentialed to write for the online community?
