I don't think he was a big earner he made a huge armored car robery.. Straight up armed robbery not a good earner,but thought I heard he got some good cash from that armored truck.. But maybe he made a good profit selling drugs with the blacks and pegans..he probally made a little earnings there

Marine that wasn't an actual robbery. Everyone was in on it and basically Merlino walked away with the money and the guys on the truck claimed the bag of money fell from the truck on I-95. Merlino kept all the money and never paid his partners so they testified against him and Joey did 4 or 5 years for it.

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.

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

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!

re read it..you didn't understand me or I didn't elaborate enough.. Yea he made millions..Or stole..Remember I mentioned armored car truck.. you kinda wanna b a smart ass..And I thought drug money in the mob was wasn't allowed.. And the way he got the money from the armored truck, I consider that personal money..I considered earning "everyone in the mobs money" sorry if you didn't under stand..yea he looks like he has a nice spot in Flordia..

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".

Previte is a piece of S&%t, no doubt..

I wonder who Merlino has been seen with in south Florida, he's got to be heavily watched.

I'm not sure exactly just from the news they were making the impression Merlino was bringing unnecessary attention to them for being in Florida. I think he is realizing there is nothing for him in Philly with him being stand up and doing 12 yrs would Ligambi or anyone agree he should get back his old money making operations or a piece of the action which he would be entitled to. I don't think so too much heat is on Merlino and them. It's wise for him to go legit or at least for now.

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!

Caramella you hit the nail on the head. Hearing that slobbone Previte talking shit about Stanfa, how he was stupid for trusting him cuz he was an ex-cop, was enough to make me wanna puke as well. The dude is a scum bag. Scum of the earth that guy.

You know the thing about Previte he acted like making money was simple.He acted like he could walk in to a casino and just pull any scam he wanted.Like in the book the ''Last Gangster'' he just would open his mouth and cash would come out,according to him.Always thought he was full of it.The thing about Joey was don't really know what kind of earner he was but it just seemed liked everyone paid for him just to get close to him.Like GA said going somewhere and saying I'm with Joey made the person feel untouchable.Like they always said Joey didn't care where the money came from or how you earned it.As far as doing time he is a true stand-up guy but then again on the other hand they say he never paid his gambling debts.

the min this guys of off supervised release he boss again taking back phiilly and probably have a strong hold of south florida, young guys. he can be boss and have a bunch of legitiment steak and cheese shops. how man capo's in the Gambino and Genovese families own outright companies. top tomato guy, keys food. it goes on and on frank cali worth 25 mill he's probably a boss. I don't believe he quit one second. none of his south philly guys are rats. those were all stanfas guy or scarfo guys read between the lines when merlino gives these quotes to newspapers.

In merlino's interview about being secretly recorded he said he don't talk about certain things with guy's he don't know, read between the lines

I could predict that if Scarfo was out on the street for another year he would of killed Joey. He probably was hesitant just because of his Chuckie but Chuckie went to jail in early '86 and less than a year later the house came down, but if they got indicted in say '88 or so I think it would of been done.
