I wonder if they let merlino start his own new York crew being that he called shots over NYC guys

Million dollar question do you think merlino ever met up with barney on the street. Im guessing probaly somewere in Miami. Had to. Read barney has a condo in south beach. Wonder why it seems merlino was more in with the westside crowd then the gambinos maybe its has something to do with stanfa being a cherry hill gambino guy.

Hollander- i get your point however theres no SOL on murder so if joey isn't careful hell get a murder charge or 5 attached to a supeceding indictment

Skinny Joey for all his street smarts talking openly about murdering someone is dumb, but im shoxked a powerful Genovese skipper like Onofrio was participating in this convo too,.. ive literally never heard of Rooster Onofrio before this indictment, does anyone have any more info about him? I read the gangsterreport stuff on him, but wondering whos crew he took over, where hes based out of ( ive seem Conn and Little Italy) and whos in his crew? Appreciate any info felllas

As far as Merlino meeting Bellomo, the FBI was trying to snare Bellomo in the NY indictment. Either JC or GA reported that the investigation didn't get anywhere close to him. That might suggest he wasn't in the loop with Merlino.

I have no clue if they did or didn't..but just to think he didn't for the sake of what is known about him on the internet is crazy...joey got a years in the can and years in the life..if he had sufficient reason to meet with Barney..he would...people make their assumptions on all these guys from an internet persona, u just can't..they live and breathe who they r in all they do. Just cuz joey looks pretty in his Bentley, don't mean he won't slice your throat..just cuz papers and internet writers say Barney keeps to himself..don't mean he does...same people on these sites said up until last august that the west side wouldn't sneeze ar guys like joey or George borgesi..hmmm..think the case proved that wrong

Families don't give other families guys to control, they give other families guys to work with in joint operations. Either way, can you cite what made guys he was controlling? Just because he supposedly stepped in to save an associate that the Bonannos wanted killed does not mean anything. Look back at the Capeci article where a guy complained that Merlino was holding back money, it was a captain in the Genovese family, Pagano, who said that if Joey owes the money he has to pay, and guess what he paid! So mister all powerful was overruled by a captain from another family and he took it without even a sit down with another boss.

The Jockey deserves respect for doing his time, but tough, come on, he has probably never had a fair fight in his life. His wife banged other guys openly while he was gone and he had to do icky things to Stanley Stein to get back on his feet in Florida. Your fanboy words are pathetic, I hope that you are young and can grow out of this phase. Otherwise, I do not know what to say other than I feel sorry for you, you are idolizing a guy who if he met you would only have one thing on his mind, how to exploit you to get some money.

Was in florida in may it was so hot i couldnt live there in summer. Gross sweaty ass every day no thanks.

Obviously everyone can only speculate, but the easy answer is NO WAY Barney met with Merlino. Barney did 12 long years. He fought many legal battles. He has 4 kids that seem to love him and he loves them from all I have read. His wife died of cancer so he is their only parent. Gangland says Barney owns apartment buildings and makes $$$ on those. Barney is cagey and wouldn't come within 100 feet of Merlino. That is my guess.

I'm sure Barney just stays home..plays peanuckle with his kids, don't talk to anyone cuz he did time...are you people for real? This ain't the Boy Scouts, if there were a big dollar on the table, Barney or any of them would sit with fuckin Liberace , my god the shit I read..he would stay away from Merlin or cuz he drove a Bentley?.

Joeys a proven killer, and the Westside, has kinda ALWAYS backed killers.

Think about it, what the hell was Chin doing backing Scarfo, the killer, over earners like Narducci? His main guy was the maniac Bobby Manna.

Question, What's the deal with Bellomo? He seems to generate an almost mythical interest in people, What did he do besides be a Chin favorite? I was always confused by this. Any capo of that crew is always basically rubber stamped into the admin, since like Terranova, lol. It's a well oiled machine. Maybe NYCs oldest crew.

Joey is closer to being like Scarfo than Bruno.....

Yeah. Didn't he exploit his daughters and his wife's death in order to cadge sympathy from a judge?

Joey loves gross sweaty Jew ass by the sound of things.

Dilorenzo..u sound ridiculous...either chin met scarfo or didnt..once
.twice...how many minimal times is irrelevant, he met him..because of what ever respect he had for him he met him...if u r trying to equate the 2 situations, then u are shooting holes in your own argument, he met scarfo..where do i comment on whether a bentlry brings negative exposure, no where in my post do i comment on it , never have, nor will i..what i said, is u all equate the pretty boy persona as of if he wouldnt slice u in half, he most certainly would..and u equate people saying barnie is a recluse family man to him not leaving the house to tall to no one..which is 10000 percent not the case, dont give a shit what capeci or anyone says, he talks to people, just lile everyone else...who u think he did time with, fuckin choir boys? He dont talk to any of them? U obviously know vert little about the life itself..not saying hes riding shotgun in whatever ferrari joey jas in boca this weekend..what im saying is if either of them felt the need to meet..they would...barney wouldnt say 'joey drove a Bentley, cant meet him on this'...sounds so naive and foolish, cinsidering 2 of his alleged captains are in a fed case with him..

I'm sure Barney just stays home..plays peanuckle with his kids, don't talk to anyone cuz he did time...are you people for real? This ain't the Boy Scouts, if there were a big dollar on the table, Barney or any of them would sit with fuckin Liberace , my god the shit I read..he would stay away from Merlin or cuz he drove a Bentley?..guys, these guys gravitate to money not away from it..now, I know Barney, not magazine articles bullshit and I know he's sharp, honorable, and stuffed with money...but, if there was legit money on the table and joey were involved, he wouldn't walk cuz joey drove a bentley..far as joey running guys from ny or whatever, not true..yes he hung with guys from both west side and bonanzas, all half ass bullshit as this case is showing
