What day does it end for those who know cause I know it ends next month.

Also let's get one thing clear that Joey's most likely not retiring from the mob since he went through too much shit to get to the top, including the death of his friend and some other guy ratting him out, if he stays in Florida past his parole it means he's keeping a low profile until the heat wears off and the only way we'll know is if he makes a movie and jail has made one thing clear about him, it has made him wise.

If I was him, I would wait until the day after his supervised parole is over and get everyone together for dinner. Stevie, Uncle Joe, every made guy and anyone not on parole and/or probation and have a big dinner is South Philly....

It's not against the law and would be a nice FU to the FBI...

Yea I can't wait to see what happens with Philly LCN. Now that Joey will be completely free from the grip of the government in less than a month. Uncle Joe and Georgie beat the indictments. The most suitable people for the hierarchy of the family are all out on the streets. Whoever takes the leadership roles in the family must avoid the Feds at all cost. Because you no and I no that they(Feds) will be watching.

They should take it back to the Bruno era and start making their money quiet and unnoticed since they already have a microscope on them. Very exciting time for the family I'm sure.

If I was uncle Joe, I would take the consigliere gig, go into semi-retirement in Florida. The feds take losing cases like personal insults, so you can guarantee they will put the microscope on Joe.

Plus I wouldn't want anything to do with putting my name with the acts of Joey or Georgie, both guys that seem anything but low-key.

I actually think UJ tried to take it back to Bruno and did a decent job for this day in age. But at this point I think they need to move to how NY is doing it these days. I would just have Stevie, Johnie, Lance as Capos who work as a panel along with Uncle Joe being semi retired Consig like position. I dont know about Joey or what he plans to do but I think the best thing for him and the Philly mob is to stay in Florida.

I woul be watching the narduccis to c were they fit in , can't see Phillip narducci takin orders from these guys . I read a story that the narduccis were have a slanging match in the street with someone can't remember who ? The narduccis were mobsters and killers wen Merlino and mazzone where street corner kids

@dom...well things change, the narcissistic either have to see the writing on the wall or there's trouble for them, I don't think they can withstand a war with joey and them crazy fucks!

I say a titty bar celebration with plenty of pics of scantily clad women!!

and a CLEAN titty bar, new clean furniture and NO crazy mean Russians with their cocaine and bj's in the back

The Feds can use it to support a RICO conspiracy.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster! Were the photos from Stainos wedding brought in to Joes trial? If so, they would love to get a photo of Merlino canoodling with the guys when he's back in town

Joey only knows one and thats the criminal life. He did his time and hes ready to get his hands around this thing. Hes a shifty guy who has learned from the past. Bet he won't be talking to too many people out there and will be very cognizant of wires.

Good to see you back jersey. Stand up

Thanks nicky. I had to go away for a litle stretch because I wasnt aware of a certain policy on italian slurs.

Joe Mango doesn't need to do anything but relax he's set kiddies ; | ^

I still wonder why they never violated him for hanging around mobsters and associates, very interesting

Let's get George a to give him a buzz and see what his plans are!

I would put $ on it that he comes back to philly.. Like I said I find it kind of strange timing wise that the house his wife and daughters live in ocean township nj was put up for sale like 2 months ago. What are the chances his family is moving right around the time he is off restrictions?
I think its weird how everyone says he's going to just stay in boca.. By himself.. I can't see him or anyone for that matter living in a different state than they're wife and children.

Joey was in the right place, but wrong time before! This time he's older, wiser and has had time to scheme in the joint!

Joey is not coming back to philly nor south jersey.

Maybe he is planning on moving with his wife to a different state once his parole restrictions are up?

Correct.

Joey returning to Philly to run things is a pipe dream.
Let it go.

I just don't see how he can stay out of state and still keep running things forever..who knows,I just feel like after a while people would start to resent the fact that they're kicking up all their $ to someone who's sitting out of harms way in another state while everyone else is out doing the grunt work.yet I don't know shit about him or philly.. He could be moving his wife down to florida for all I know and continue to stay away from everything. It would be smart if he stayed away but I guess we will see.. He's obviously still getting a piece, he lives well and just went on vacation to some fucking tropical island with his wife.. Was driving a ferarri around the shore a few months ago.. I doubt he's working a 9 to 5 busting his ass so the money must be coming from somewhere.

If I was Joey Merlino I'll stay retired, and move on with my life because there too many 'rats' in the 'life' these days. Sometimes you need to quit while your ahead .

Guys like joey Merlino don't retire and fade away , it's not in his DNA

I honestly dont know where you guys get this stuff from.

Joey wont be coming back.

1) Joey has given ZERO indication he's ever coming back to Jersey. You guys know something he doesnt?

2)These guys arent rocket scientists but even Merlino knows if he returns he has ZERO, and I mean ZERO chance of him not ending in a cage.
He returns he has maybe 3-5 on the street before its goodnight. Because we all know the Feds LOVE someone who thumbs their nose at them (think Gotti).
And this with the Feds on his EVERY.

3) This comapred to living off his rep, getting a few investors into a few clubs/bars in FLA etc etc.

Now noone excpet the man himself knows what he will do but based on the above which I think we can all universally accept, what do you think?

Personally I think the answer is pretty obvious.

Like u said nobody knows apart from the man himself , its pointless wasting time and energy speculating

Merlino is hanging out with mobsters in florida, you think he's going to stop when his parole is done? Even when he talked about nick skins trying to incriminate him he said "I don't talk about certain things to people I don't know" read between the lines

I agree with u , someone like Merlino doesn't just retire , he will be involved on some level , his guys r running the Philly mob and have always answered to him, unless the narduccis make a play for the top job things will carry on as they r , Merlino might just be a little bit more low key

You guys always forget to give the wife credit. She is a very smart woman, she prob took the father of her kids with her on a well deserved vacation (better Joe than that fat OCD rat Ron Previte...who is sooo unattractive look wise). As far as where they live.. depends on where the kids want to go to school, they aren't going to stay in Jersey after high school. If I was the parents I'd get small place in Boca and a small place in South Philly or Penn's landing.. catch last few months of hockey season, don't get too worked up about a lambo.. anyone can rent those for the weekend.. too expensive insurance-wise to actually own the car. I'd rather be a house husband and live off the Jew brother in law than go back to a life of hustling for dollars with the blacks, Puerto Ricans and Hispanics...
