Ivy League and those guys. I don't have the slightest fucking idea how to access law enforcement information or FBI files. But I'm pretty sure if you're willing to pay for it, you can order anyone's FBI file. Maybe they have to be dead, though. I'm not sure.

I understand Vince probably could have gotten to Joey, eventually. But the guy was surrounded by loyal shooters and it was his town. It would have been very difficult.

The guy was almost killed by that junkie Veasey. Send a few pros down from NY and he would be pushing up daisies.

It's funny how people think Merlino is untouchable. Who did he really go up against? Half of the Philly family had just been wiped out by RICO and half of what was remaining was fighting with the other half. Stanfa's top hitman was a non-Italian junkie. Even Albert Anastasia, Maranzano, and Masseria were killed. Merlino was more powerful than those guys? LOL

Haven't been here long, but expected any thread with two "legendary underworld figures" from these two cities to have some good hearted trash talk or jokes. The middle school my dad is tougher argument belongs in middle school. I am a Philly guy and one thing Philly and areas around it taught me were bullets in right places kill any man no matter where guys on either side of gun are from.

One of the most bewildering and, sadly, common things on these forums over the years. There are advantages to being from Utah. whistle

Many of today's recruits are usually somehow connected to CN thru either family or friends as most said . It's never gonna end , it's a life though I agree quality could suffer , then again we are in a time where the people in charge are old timers and at least today the young ones are getting some guidance .

Low key is the theme today , seems to be working too , I see zero businesses being totally eliminated , a lot different in the 80s and 90s when some big industries were taken away

Agree , good ones evolved , to the point where real legit $ , talking total legit outside money has even invested . ( before I get crushed here lol , yes I know this has always been case , I was made of this directly from someone that would know, but at a time it was real touch and go around 01)

Blue collar will always have the masses and at least eat and always needed , always , but some top guys have really done some impressive things , and some of them have helped spread the wealth a bit , the smart ones at least . I Have gotten this real sense of synchrony at the moment lol

Never heard there was a plan to hit him. Just that he was called to NY for a sit down. Either way, he wasn't about to become Caponigro act 2, and declined and invited him to Philly instead.

Now carmine galante was a perfect setup the perpetrators had to put thought in to, carmine had bodyguards with him but a couple of his own bodyguards helped set him up, now that was a professional job...but joey's people will never turn him over like that

You're taking everything way too personally, buddy. Again, we were talking about 25 years ago. And 25 years ago, guys like Tino, Manna and Gigante usually got what they wanted. That's why I doubt there was ever a Westside contract out on Merlino to begin with.

As far as today, no one is looking to hit a boss anyway. It would be suicide by FBI. You said it yourself the other day, and I reiterated it yesterday. There are rats walking around out in the open and not getting hit, so they're certainly not going to even attempt to hit a high profile guy like Merlino.

They'd have a better chance at killing the president, right? LOL

The guy was almost killed by that junkie Veasey. Send a few pros down from NY and he would be pushing up daisies.

The mafia is known for treachery and backstabbing. Fear and money is more powerful than loyalty.


lol at "pros down from NY". Were the Colombos really any better at shooting at each other during their war?


Scarpa and Wild Bill were pretty good. That kid popped Joey Scopo pretty easily. I think at least a dozen guys were killed. The Colombos were the jokesters of NY too. Send in some of the Luccheses or Genovese and Skinny boy wouldn't stand a chance.

It's funny how people think Merlino is untouchable. Who did he really go up against? Half of the Philly family had just been wiped out by RICO and half of what was remaining was fighting with the other half. Stanfa's top hitman was a non-Italian junkie. Even Albert Anastasia, Maranzano, and Masseria were killed. Merlino was more powerful than those guys? LOL


Veasey's mother was Sicilian, so why is it such a big deal that Stanfa used him?

Tommy Del Giorno's mother was Croatian, yet nobody bats an eyelid about that.

People read far too much into surnames.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I guess Merlino would never be in a vulnerable position and nothing in the world could ever make any of his guys turn on him. How long have you been in love with Merlino?
