Merlino is a clown. Honestly I remember him for two things, his wife was sleeping with a bunch of guys and he got shot in the ass. As for Sonny Franzese I think it’s well established that he was old school til the end. However accusing him of being a rat because he had a relationship with his son is asinine. If he is claiming that Sonny had to completely cut off his son for cooperating it would show how bad the life is
