Get ready fellas, it's coming, new poster in a few days saying Gagliano is the boss with 300 made guys in Nola.....

And good find Stevie, it's actually nice to read something new about New Orleans rather than the old history.

Thats because there is nothing new and only old history

You could not have worded that ANY better my friend

So Joey is due back in court in Philadelphia on October 10th, this will be a media spectacle in philly .

The Philly guys would know this better than me. But does anyone remember that rat who turned out to be a Merlino-Borgesi groupie? Roger Vella?

This mutt killed a guy in his basement with his mother upstairs, got caught for something else, then tried to give everyone up. As it turned out, the guy was some kind or weirdo with a sick man crush on Merlino and Borgesi, so the Feds didn't want to use him as a witness. He did a few years and got relocated anyway.

Can you imagine? He does less than ten years for a murder. I think he admitted to participating in another murder. And a year or so ago I read that they violated him for threatening to beat his girlfriend to death with a hammer (and how fucking dumb is she?). But that's the Government and WITSEC for you .

Anyway, whatever happened to this creepy little bastard? Did he get out yet for the violation?

What's up with Joey if he were a regular guy he'd do 10 days in jail maybe a month but given who he his VOP will send him back at least 6 months ...

He's better off teaming up with Phillip Leonetti and maybe he can put out a book nice book set for Xmas with a bottle of spray on tan that's approved by the BOP

I hope he gave at least one of them an orgasm

The local TV station just had a teaser on about a follow up story their doing on Joey's current situation in South Florida. I didn't hear the time it will be broadcast, but I would assume it would be on the 7pm broadcast on Monday. Here is the link for you Philly guys that might be interested.

@handsome stevie

I actually posted the story about 3 weeks ago, but good job

What are you talking about?

You know he showed that link that showed where he got this info first before you??? Nice job stevie with the info

No problem, but I posted that story 3 weeks ago, but good job for rediscovering it

NNY78 you posted regarding a news story on Merlino monday at 7:00. Searched for and came up empty. Any updates?

okay congrats on posting it first lol. I didnt see it but hey pat yourself on the back bigfella!!!!

Like I said, no big deal

Itiswhatitis, I was working last night so I didn't see it, maybe one of the other guys down here or who was watching the live stream online caught it and can update us? I tried to find the broadcast on their website this morning but was unable to find a link for Joey's segment, but I'm not the most skilled computer person. My guess is it would be more entertainment than reality with this station's history of sensational Hollywood type reporting but I would like to see it none the less. Some of these numbskull news people down here think Joey is the second coming of Gotti. I'm hoping Julie Brown at the Miami Herald will do a follow up on Joey's latest adventures, she has some excellent sources.

i found it

Retired mob boss “Skinny” Joey Merlino, who served 14 years in prison for racketeering, and a group of investors are set to open a restaurant in the heart of Boca Raton.

The ex-Philadelphia organized crime head, now 52 and a Boca resident since 2012, was the subject of a Miami Herald profile headlined “The Mobster Next Door.” He is scheduled to get off his three-year supervised release next month.

And obviously, Merlino now wants to hit the ground running after swearing off a life of crime because, he said in a recent interview, “too many rats” surround him.

Two real estate sources who asked not to be named told Gossip Extra that Merlino will be heavily involved in a restaurant that’s supposed to open at 39 SE First Ave. by year’s end.

A three-year deal has been inked with the property owner, a company linked to controversial Palm Beach County landowner Jim Batmasian.

Daron Tersakyan, who worked on the contract for Batmasian, said he isn’t familiar with Merlino’s name but confirmed the restaurant will be “a high-end, South Philadelphia-style Italian place.”

Lewis Kasman, who also retired in the Boca area after working for famed New York crime boss John Gotti then turning FBI informant, said he’s heard the buzz about the venture.

“I can’t confirm nor deny that Joey is opening his own place, but I’ve been questioned about it by law enforcement over the past week,” Kasman said.

Because he is a convicted felon, Merlino cannot obtain a liquor license under his own name.

But in his latest interview with a reporter last year, Merlino said he was looking for investment opportunities. Merlino talked to Philly mob writer George Anastasia about opening restaurants, cafes, a Philly cheese steak shop and a cigar bar.

I didn't realize that was the location. It's right off Palmetto, by the Intracoastal. The spot has changed hands a few times over the years. Never a good sign as far as a restaurant location goes. There's a ton of competition over there. It's a gorgeous area, but the inhabitants over there are more likely to eat at Flanigan's. I'm sure that Salvi62 and NNY78 would agree with me there.

It could be moot anyway. Even if they're just breaking his balls, his court ordered appearance in Philly next month is a sure sign that the Feds are going to monitor this guy for the rest of his life. If I was his attorney, I'd advise him not to get involved in such a public venture.

is that in Meisner park?

Kasman's a low life bottom feeding scumbag piece of shit scumbag bottom feeder

Is Merlino really 5 ft. 2? Because I have seen pictures of him with Ligambi and they look the same height. And Ligambi is supposed to be 5 ft. 7.

Right around the block.

nice area, ate there last February...place was pretentous and overrated. ate outside, forget name. the stone crab were delicious

Mizner Park is nice if you're into sitting outside and people watching with an $18 Bloody Mary. And hey, we go ourselves sometimes for Sunday brunch. But there are just too many restaurants and cafes over there. And it's just not the kind of clientele that's likely to me charmed by Joey Merlino and Company. And you know exactly what I mean (not that I blame them anyway).

i know exactly who u mean

That topic get's raised a lot..I'd say yes, he was a jockey back in the day, they're all midgets.

It's little people, Tommy. Midget is a stereotypical and hurtful term.

And you know I'm all about being politically correct. You limey bastard .

I'm only 5'3
