I couldn't find anything on them being connected. I found the article on him making the ID's and threatening the president. I also found the article on him getting drunk and having a standoff with the cops saying he was going to kill himself. Everything he's done bad seems to be situated in Florida. Maybe hes with the Florida crew?

Secondly, I may be wrong but he says that his brother was on the side of Merlino for the last 4 years...wasn't he in jail for 2-3 of those? I may be wrong but I thought Joey just got out....

Sounds like someone made an account on here to try and bolster their reputation.
