The guy that had brothers on different sides, Johnny Chang, is he off parole/restriction? Smart enough to lead? Are all those guys still in Philly even willing to take a back seat under Merlino? Merlino has a bloodline, but some that were "with" or looked up to him have been on their own for awhile.

Not all the guys under indictment are gonna get convicted. Monacello just looked like a photo op gangster who was gonna rat at his first indictment. Looking@ 8 years and flip? Feds better have a wiretap, b/c this guy is a joke, either way.
