And I agree with Dapper: Joey = headlines = newspaper sales and high TV ratings.

Stay tuned.


Scarfo was a nut job but he was someone who was like a symbol of what a gangster is and what their family once was, he did expand their operations greatly and had a lot of fear on the street. To go from someone like him to ligambi may not be a very appealing thing for some of the guys from that time.Put it this way no one ever gonna make a documentary about ligambi.


Yea but Scarfo pretty much brought the Philly Mob down all by himself. The Philly Mob was running like a well oiled machine in the 50's, 60 and 70's. They were making loads of money, not attracting to much attention from the feds and were still feared on the streets. The way Scarfo ran things with all the killings it brought WAY to much attention and did them in. He was the worst thing to ever happen to the Philly Mob
