Law enforcement officials described it as an “assassination vehicle.”


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

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

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 rolleyes.

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

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.

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.

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 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.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

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).
