40 NY guys and 1 guy from Philly

Looks like a bullshit case if you ask me

Basically trumped up gambling charges however they snuck RICO in their to get some more time out of these guys and leverage and their are some real hitters in the indictment . Without the RICO, a conviction sentence wouldn't be too bad for most. All will plea down except for Joey as they dying to bust him out financially and with good time.

Westside and Luchesse have been expanding their business big time in SJ and also into Phily. I think there were beefs and sit downs over Philly gambling territory / houses etc. so I wouldn't be shocked if Merlino worked something out with the Bronx guys.

No Columbo guys huh , looks like they are doing most of their biz in BK and LI. Bonnanos have more guys then them IMO ( just a hunch )

Seems like a case to get Merlino and possibly give a message to wise guys that they will continue to come down hard on gambling as IMO gambling is really really big for the guys in NY and NJ. Those poker rooms with NY players can bring in multiple thousands a week with very little risk and serve as a solid way to get big lucrative loan shark in clients . Even though the loans are paid back quickly the volume makes up for it . Poker rooms a very lucrative and very low risk racket , except you have no social life lol

someone was wearing a wire on him will be interesting to see the tapes. But he is only facing gambling charges he will do time but i will be suprised if he gets more than 5 6 years. I think Joeys problem is this case is just the begining this was the case the feds in Florida have been building against him feds in philly have not brought there case yet and like Geogre A said there is a good chance joeys going to get hit with more charges

This case i dont think involved anyone in philly because its to do with what Joey was doing in Florida guys like Mazzone and johnny chang why would they benefit from anything joey is doing.

will be interesting to see if he gets bail

oh yeah didnt the ny gov. make fanatsy sports legal in nyc on tuesday, are they gonna start keno type rooms for fantasy. thats probaly why the big bust. how bout merlino face on the daily news over all the other big guys. so we all agrea thats dan marinos kid rite is he made?

Merlino's also facing charges on the health care fraud.

Can you guys stop responding to the dinocroc troll. Really spamming the thread and making it harder to sift through normal replies from non trolls. Thanks in advance!

funny, for a long time ive read a lot of the experts on here say that new York wouldn't bother with joey, west side hates joey, joey this, joey that...this case, seems to prove to the contrary, no, guys?

so joey merlino got alot of guys arrested.......BIG FUCKING SHOCK

ny mob must not be what it used to be if they were dumb enough to work with him

Yes. There is one guy who used to be quite vocal about that.

One article had Merlino in a white RR...looks like fed snapped pictures





Dont know if that is in Philly or Florida

Does this take down hurt any of the families?

Read a lot of these guys are associates

Last week, Merlino was visiting his age-old Margate, New Jersey summer vacation stomping grounds. He’s reportedly gone now, vacationing out on the west coast. During his July trip to the Shore, Skinny Joey was seen tooling around in a new model, white-colored Rolls Royce.

I wonder who the rat/rats are.

So far I count 2 Genovese captains, 1 Genovese acting captain, 2 Genovese soldiers, 2 Lucchese soldiers, 2 Bonanno soldiers. I'm wondering if Danny Marino Jr is made with the Gambinos. Probably others too.

Conrad Iannello indicted as well.
Not referenced as a capo.
He's a soldier now?

I think maiorino and spirito have been acting bonnano captains

Over masslive a handfull of genovese associates from springfield got scooped up the indictment still sealed but looks like they were dealing with one of the bronx capos.

gangland news next week should be good capeci normally goes into alot of detail

Ivy, what do you think the chances are that the rat/rats stem from this Genovese case from 2014? Seeing how it has the same criminal components.

Well we know who he was making friends with in the joint .

May be the same guys who got Skinny out of a few jams back when NY wanted what Philly had in north jersey or it's possible that Skinny gave them what they wanted .

Well I guess Florida is going to get what they paid for paying all that money to LE to follow his every move.

Wonder if Skinny is going to get the cold shoulder for being so flamboyant and drawing so much attention going to be very interesting .

/me chuckles at moe

This is honestly shocking since he keeps such a low profile

All the talk of philly being jack asses, low level, street punks, gets so fucking old, most of these guys are 2nd and 3rd gen made men, they have 60 fucking buttons on the streets, and they haven't had a made guy flip since the fucking 90's, I wouldn't wanna tangle with them.

Can you make a Insiders details arrétés members of families and associate members arrétés for what families do they work

That's Margate in those pictures

I hope Joey gets hit hard. All the people he's murdered and screwed over deserve justice. It's a good day.

60 made guys are you serious?

geogre A said a few years back they had just over 20 i know a few guys have got out of prison and few more got made but 60 is ridiculous i dont even think scarfo era was that high. Dont think i have ever seen anyone say they are all old guys

He probably does have a better chance in a philly court. So not surprised they won't take him there.

Joey has a good lawyer. Interested to see how trial goes. There's a small chance he could beat this thing. Most likely he won't but you know how his luck goes.
