From what I get he's basically asking if Nicky Jr was really a tough guy or just one of those "daddy's boys" and if he was a good earner or not.. I don't see the problem here.
English isn't his first language obviously but Furio's a good guy on these boards.
-I shot him a coupla' times. -What's a couple? -Hmm, more than a couple... Really I don't know the exact amount, maybe I shot him 10 times, 12 times? -Maybe fifteen? -Hmm, it could've been fifteen...

English isn't his first language obviously but Furio's a good guy on these boards. Since English is not my first language, I will explain better. Scarfo Jr. after Merlino tried to whack him in 1989, runs away in north jersey and thanks to his father obtained protection from the Lucchese. In 1989 Mad Dog Taccetta ruled the Jersey faction and Casso or Amuso ordered to protect Scarfo; what I meant he gained the respect of Lucchese soldiers or was made only for his name? Have you ever killed for the lucchese family? And what was involved, loansherking, drug trafficking etc. And even now it is seen as a daddy'sboy klike Junior Gotti or has earned the respect of the other soldiers? then after an attempted murder has not abandoned the life so he's a tought guy don't say anything? He is born in this life as little boy allie persico and would never abandoned it.

I heard he was made as a favor to Scarfo from Amuso, not sure how correct it is. As the guys above me said, he did have a couple of schemes going so I'm sure he earned good for a while.
No idea if he killed or not, probably not but my estimation he's probably a real gangster.. but he has big shoes to fill, his father's.. just like Jr Gotti, so at the end of the day they can never be as big of gangsters as their fathers.

Actually they were little shoes. That's probably where a lot of the anger came from.

He wasn't under the protection of the Lucchese's after the hit attempt, in which he stayed in Atlantic City & North Jersey and out of South Philly. When he got taken in in North Jersey, it was still the Philly Mob protecting him. The North Jersey remnants of the Caponigro crew, which was currently being oversaw by George Fresolone, were still loyal to Scarfo and took Nicky Jr. in. I think people have this idea that during this time Nicky Jr. was a recluse, he wasn't. The feds were watching him, they observed him meeting with various NJ, Philadelphia & even NY mobsters. He continued to collect a street tax. And guys still kicked up to him, those who were still loyal to his dad. Fresolone was an informant, and once he flipped, the rest of that Scarfo group went down. I think that's when the Lucchese's came in. And various researchers and reporters claim Scarfo Jr. obtained the rank of Capo, and still held that position when he was indicted on the FirstPlus extortion case. Though I haven't seen much to substantiate that belief.

Scarfo Jr. was a stone cold pussy. When his father got locked up, I remember people punching him in his face for general purposes. Im not joking....this guy would cross back and forth 10th street if he saw 2 guys coming his way. People use to literally punch him in the face and tell him to send for his father to suck their dicks. Once Scarfo sr. got booked...that was fucking that, Scarfos had no respect and everyone and their mother who suffered because of Scarfo sr. rejoiced that psychopath was gone.
The user "Serpiente" may have different stories from atlantic city...but i know for a fact in south philly, at that time, the Scarfo's werent liked at all. Joey Merlino took full advantage of this. To be honest, and maybe taking away Joeys credit a little....ANYONE coulda had that power grab and they would have the neighborhood behind them...thats how much Scarfo was hated in south Philly
I remember JR. trying to show his face all over south philly after his dad got booked because he assumed he was gonna be the boss. I saw someone slap him several times to the floor and then the guy leaned in a hawked a loogie right in his face in august of 1989 at Marcones waiting for a hoagie and the dude with Scarfo jr. ran to a pay phone, dialed 911 and said there were black Muslims strapped with AK 47's walking around talking about killing white people.....the whole fucking neighborhood was shut down that day because obviously, none of the scarfos could take a punch. There was police on every damn corner in south philly...and, as an avid pothead at the time, you can see how that can be extremely frustrating.

I came across this interesting article that says Nick Jr's younger brother Mark Scarfo used to throw his weight around and use his father's name, while Nick Jr. was quieter and more reserved. I always thought people said Mark was picked on for his name? Link
