I remember reading/hearing in interview that some Scarfo guys coming home wouldn't respect a Merlino faction in charge. How much respect does Johnny Chang carry from the old Scarfo guys to young(er) Merlino guys? Is he a better choice to lead other than a polarizing figure like Merlino? He definitely has paid his dues, lost a lot, and even rivals grow to respect guys that been thru what he has.
Actually his dad gets out in a few years and is very respected. He was a capo with scarfo and went away with the rest of them in the 80's.
