Ok i checked and it was one of the guys on the truck that left the money somewhere for Merlino and Barone to pick up and then they claimed it fell off the truck. I was wrong that Merlino kept all of the money, he actually kept half of it and never paid his buddy on the truck. I think Merlino and Barone split the first half of the cash and then Merlino kept all of the other half for himself. Here's the story in the paper after Merlino was convicted. http://articles.philly.com/1990-01-13/ne...armored-express

no they had to treat him like he was made as long as stanfa was boss. He was only recognized out of respect to stanfa.
he wasnt lying, he was really introduced around as a captain. Yea but he was recognized as a made man and even a capo under natale and Merlino. Do you think that maybe they didnt know he didnt go throught a ceremony and just assumed since he was recognized as made under stanfa that he underwent the ceremony considering merlino was made by stanfa with a ceremony

Thaddeus. The Previte been discussed ad nauseam (not insulting you just saying) on this board. Ill tell you my thoughts, from what I have discerned from my research. If you read the "Last Gangster" by George Anastasia. YOu will see from wire tap convos that he was in fact considered a made guy. He is spoken too by other made guys like John Ciancaglini, Joey Merlino, and Ralph natale as being another wise guy and is spoken to in accordance with mob protocol. \ References by other members as "this thing" and "friend of ours" I did figure that this topic had already been discussed and I apologize for any nausea I may have caused anyone ;-) but I really wanted to hear what other people had to say on the topic and in all honesty, I didn't feel like digging through old threads to possibly find something on the topic of Previte and Merlino. I appreciate your thoughts!

I think Merlino is getting bashed way too much and everyone is entitled to there opinions. Merlino is a stand up guy who did his time and didn't say shit about anything. He is real LCN in my opinion. Also, that rat Stefanelli tried getting Merlino to take the bait on potential money making schemes which Merlino stated he was not interested shows he's really not as stupid as most think. If he was he would've incriminated himself on tape but he didn't. Later he finds out after reporting the Stefanelli meeting to the FBI he's covering his steps not a "stupid" person would do. I'm curious if he really is going to do a reality TV or book deal this shows he is officially done with the LCN. Does any one have any current news on this book deal? Side note I hope that fat pig Ron Previte eats himself to death soon. I couldn't stand hearing that fat rat talking and acting so smug calling those philly guys who accepted him dumb for taking a chance on him being an ex-cop. He's the biggest greedy unloyal half siggy yet.... Merlino was right in saying "too many rats I don't want any part of that".

Merlino's other nickname is lucifer, and they say he's the father of lies, so I don't believe a word he says, prison made him wiser and for someone that has his balls all of a sudden get a brain to match??? It can be very dangerous!
