"Now there's a flip-side to that coin" - easy trivia quote
Did the meeting at Fat Ange's Restaurant happen? No one was talking about it on the street. And if you live in this area, people have big mouths. None of the regular reporters talked about it. I don't think it did but I wouldn't be invited anyway.
I am not knocking Scott Burnstein, I liked Phils book and I know for a fact that alot of it was truth. But, some of his articles are regurgitations and speculative add-ons of OLD OLD OLD stories.
On to Merlino as boss from Florida - I speculate - NO WAY. Why?? No way any of those Scarfo guys are going to kick up to him while he's in Florida. I'm sorry but he's gotta be present. I can't even see Borgesi accpeting Merlino being king from Florida.
I can't see him able to hold on.
I think Serp will agree with me on this, the old heads aren't gonna tolerate a flashy, cocky boss, who isn't present. Flashy/cocky got them locked up in the first place.
Philly is volatile and there ain't shit going on around here but drugs/gambling/ and a little shylock. Nothing big.
And LCN Philly doesn't have their arms around it like they did with the street tax. A ton of independent agents/dealers/books in this day. And why deal with the mob, which brings heat on everyone, when you can go through other channels.
I only see this ending one way - a body. Either one of the old Scarfo guys are gonna get banged out to send a message to the others, or One of the young turks are gonna get it.
And remember, there are a few bodies that aren't accounted for over the past few years. All it takes is one slip up, one bust; and one knowledgeable person to roll over. Then, that whole regime goes bye bye.
This isn't NYC. These fuckers are crazy cowboys who were raised up with people shooting each other in broad daylight, public places, in front of their moms, etc. So, don't think they wouldn't drop each other on the street.
Again, this is all speculation.... They aren't kicking up to Joey in Florida. That is what Mazzone is for who is supposedly liked by the Scarfo guys. They kick to Mazzone and then Joey probably gets his cut. And I think Borghesi has more pressing matters. lol

King : I was told that Tommy and Faffy were twisting the knife that was in Chuckie's back and gained monetarily from his knocked down so I'm sure there was no love lost ! Thanks Serp, always appreciate the great info from you! If that's the case, then if Faffy returns to the game when he gets home he obviously won't have any love for Skinny and vice versa. Seems like those two dissident factions (opposite Merlino) just continue to get stronger with real earners and gangsters who were certainly never afraid to pull the trigger. The more I think about it, the more I think you guys may be right. It certainly seems like things could boil over at any minute.

Sonny's comment was maybe directed to me; I speculated that the 2 groups can't play nice and it's not gonna end quietly. I think that because of the history with the old heads and the current administration and also and the lack of history between the old heads and some of the current administration. Those guys getting out are all 2nd generation family. Lots of new names that may not mean much if people start feeling entitled. And no, I don't think the current administration is gonna lay down either.
I can't see it going well and easy with hatred or lack or respect. It's about respect to these guys as well as money.

Serp you been around the older guys, but I never stood next to them so I can only go by what I heard from neighbors and whatnot. I'm around the same age as the other guys and I stood around with a few of them listening to them bullshit and get nasty with innocent people. One of my close friends really wanted to be around skinny and he would bring me around. This was on the 90s, after a few times in their company, it wasn't for me. But it was enough times to have my neighbor who was around the scarfo guys to say he told me so!! 20 years ago so these guys may have changed. Hahaha

I did hear that there is FBI tapes, or a rat or both, that back a few years 2006ish that the Gambino's were having the top three Philly guys up to NY to hit all three...
I know that is proved !Ligambi,Mazzone were toast !
New York is with the money ! If there is anyone from Philly even doing anything with them..or if anyone from New York is doing anything with Philly. That was just one or two soldiers in a Gambino Jersey crew that were talking about hitting the Philly heirachy, doubt it was sanctioned, probably just talk. Thanks Tommy , it was caught on tape right ? And if it was talk "only" who in there right mind would put together that with out support ? Had to have power to live after. Must of been a powerful skipper to make that call.
