like the ligambi and lou meeting was used in court that was done by fox 29 No. The Ligambi/Monacello video actually was Philly PD or FBI surveillance, not from Fox 29. I know Johnny Chang is a big earner; where did I say he wasn't? He has always been one of the best earners around the upper echelon of the family for quite some time now. He earns well because he controls all of the gambling and loan sharking in Delaware County on top of whatever other rackets he has going. His wife owns the news stand, and I think Johnny worked there just to show some sort of "regular job" during the day and to have a place where he could have people come by to meet and talk. I understand what you're trying to say about the news stand, but it's not laundering money, and there's no proof that he was doing so. Most likely he and his wife use it for tax purposes to show legitimate income.

Perhaps you're right, but the mob talk video on youtube with Anastasia, states that it was Fox 29 who filmed that meeting, and that the FBI sent a subpoena to Fox for that video.

Skinny Joey must be personally getting the envelopes from the Geator these days it seems.... He is back in the loop,he was at the Nuggett the other night with a couple of the old AC guys. I know he doing a show there soon ,but this was pleasure. He was asked to sit in the pavilion at the concert the other night ,don't know if he took up the offer I did not see him.

Geator does a regular weekly show at the nugget in the summer in the H2O pool club there and if it rains they move it inside. I caught it once last summer- I was the youngest person in there by 30 years lol YES I get you he was with old heads from AC ,no Skinny I don't think I said Skinny was there .I said he Jerry is back in the fold as per your post. I feel like I am going in circles today.

I remember when Uncle Joe was the boss, he used come in Memories on Saturday night early before it opened up for the night , walked in the back where Blavat was. Ten minutes later he would walked out.

K1ng- nice find on the Esposito picture.. Where did you find it if you dont mind me asking? I have been searching for over 3 years and i find a lot of pictures!! And are you 100% that it is Eric Esposito that was indicted with Uncle Joe and them back in 2011? Stevie - Yes, I'm sure 110% that it's the right Eric Esposito. It's actually kind of funny how I found the picture. I needed a picture of him for the Philly chart, and like you, I couldn't find one of him anywhere! I did countless searches all over the internet and then just happened to stumble across his name and picture one day when I was looking for something else. The picture of Esposito actually comes from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. He is excluded from every casino in the state, and that is how I found the picture - from Pennsylvania's exclusion list. I also found Ralph Abruzzi, Nicholas Cimino (associate), Andrew Micali (associate), Vincent Procopio (associate), and Jack Buscemi, Jr. (associate) on that list, as well. There may even be others on there; I just skimmed over it real quick. Here is the link to Pennsylvania's Exclusion List: http://gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov/?p=173&list=photo You can scroll down to Esposito's picture, or just take this link to his page: http://gamingcontrolboard.pa.gov/files/exclusion/eric_esposito.pdf Esposito's page contains the following information from the Gaming Control Board that allowed me to confirm that it was him: On February 24, 2014, Mr. Esposito was convicted on Conducting an Illegal Gambling Operation and Aiding and Abetting Illegal Gambling. On May 28, 2014, Esposito was sentenced to 27 months imprisonment, followed by three (3) years of probation. Esposito also patronized Commonwealth Casinos between 2010 and 2014 and was issued Reward Cards from a Casino located in Chester, PA and Philadelphia, PA.You can see his conviction date and that his sentencing date was May 28, 2014. This following press release from the Justice Department, dated May 28, 2014, gives information about Philadelphia mafia soldier Eric Esposito and his sentencing information. The press release also gives his age as 43, and the exclusion list has his date of birth as 1970 (no month/day listed). http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/philadelphia-la-cosa-nostra-soldier-sentenced-serve-27-months-prison

This one is interesting on multiple levels... Few of Merlino's FL guys, Skinny, Dom Grande Great pic and very interesting. I never really seen Dom with Joey. Not that they don't know each other but never seen a pic of them or out together...ever. Even in the late 90s before Joey got booked and was in Margate and out in SP, i didn't see them talk that much back then. But Dom was more about his boys and his corner and their hustle and parting then the life. Then he changed it up. I don't know the specifics besides maybe making money booking or something and then got with Al Lance and then Nicodemo and then his crew basically changed overnight besides a few people he is still cool with but don't see him with much. But that happens with everyone as they get older.

Johnny Chang's wife bartends at the South Philly Chickie's and Pete's. She's hard working, not in the life, and seems like a very nice person from the few times she was my barmaid at that Chickie's and Pete's in South Philly. your right, Kathy Chang is a very nice and good person. Very, very nice. Everyone says that. But lets not act like she doesn't know the deal. That Lotto/news stand was in her name and she knows the deal...

Sorry, I didn't get to the lottery stand talk yet when I quoted a post. Nobody knows for sure but that stand was used for something. Maybe just a front for income...idk.
Anyway, can't believe my post is still going!
And Joey has been around almost all Summer. Probably will go back to Florida in the Fall...OR Maybe not?!?

Skinny was in the Green House last night with all the younger AC guys taking pictures. Little Johnny Boy was in a couple pic. He is a trip boy .. I guess H Steve will find them on the social media ... Johnny boy was hanging with Merlino a lot this summer. I used to see him with Nicky whip alot in the past.

I never knew his connection with those guys. @Flamingo- based on your sightings and local knowledge where do you see Nicky Whip fitting into this picture? I don't know much about his situation and even heard back when he was released from jail that Ligambi wanted to or did shelve him? Who is he associating or hanging with within the factions/organization? Sounds like he's definitely active and back in the mix either way though, right?

I guess H Steve will find them on the social media ... Sounds like Merlino is done with laying low As soon as he got off those restrictions, seems like he has barely been back to FL at his restaurant He's been back in FL, but the restaurant is closed for the season. And this news of Merlino having a Florida crew is pretty interesting, since it's something the feds claim he's been developing since 2012..They also were aware of his hooking up with Stanley Stein before it ever became public information. http://articles.philly.com/2012-02-29/news/31111009_1_joey-merlino-mob-boss-la-cosa-nostra
