You guys are destroying this thread with this scott nonsense, get back on topic, if you have a problem with the tread then don't post

I'd like to know what the 2 factions are fighting over? Is there still a nice loansharking business going on there with gambling or have they gotten into more white collar crimes. Not sure if any of you have been to the philly casinos, but 2 of them don't totally have the old s philly population going in there, the one in bensalem probably a little more and there are tons of degenerates in there at craps or poker or the horses

Well put. Moving on . . . .

It'll be interesting to see what happens to Georgie if he keeps running his mouth. I may have missed this in the article, but if he is unhappy with his position, why not side with the Scarfo faction?

I'm just gonna say my peace and get back to thread. As I've always said, Scott is a published author, he's released numerous mob-related pieces of literature, some of them are best selling. He's known amongst this "online LCN community" as a straight shooter, if you've seen his Detroit doc, you'll know he has sources in the FBI and guys from the street, who may not have been made guys or hitmen, but were definite associates, that part can't be disputed, regardless of what some guy from Nottingham, England and his sidekick says about. Now whether his sources are 100% correct in what they tell him, that can be debated, however that isn't an issue with Scott, himself. The best he can do is hear this information and cross reference it with others and write about, if all the information and reference's add up. Which is what he does.


And I find it hilarious how people are quick to write him off, but say things that aren't true to defend their viewpoint. Like Scott being from Detroit and "having a source in every crime family"...The guys only written about Philly, Detroit, Chicago, NE, & parts of NJ, in large. Not EVERY Crime Family. We know he has sources, but the guys who rag on him, can't name one source for any of the information they post, you ask why or how they know that whatever an article may mention is wrong and who told them, you're met with some stupid response like "I'm not a rat, I'm no stool pigeon, I ain't droppin' dimes on nobody"...Like, get real people. If you don't like what Scott is saying and writing about, you don't have to read it or post in his threads. It's that simple. Make your own, show us the certain knowledge you possess of all things Cosa Nostra in America, and put us straight.


Anyways, the Borgesi information has been circulating George Anastasia's site for about a year or so. It's known that Narducci's faction and the some of the Scarfo guys who aren't with him like the Pungitore's, don't necessarily show the utmost respect to Joey Merlino. And according to many, Borgesi isn't very liked period within the Philadelphia underworld, so switching factions may do him a lot more harm then good. It seems like he's the type of guy who just rubs everyone he meets the wrong way.

Interesting article.

Boooooo!!!!!......No action these days!

When they write mafia history books about the era of 2000-2020, they are gonna be the most boring books EVER!

In the good old days, or should I say, bad old days, there were weekly whackings! No fun no more :o(
How do they let people earn their button if there is no one to kill?
I say, let Little Nicky out of the can and lets see if we can make things interesting again!

Only Kidding! People not dying is a very good thing for society, just bad for people who look for hot stories on message boards.

Maybe the word is for no gun play until Joey gets out in 4 months?
If so, that means I have to save my bag of popcorn and raisenets till he gets out.

I enjoyed the shit out of Mafia Prince,which I believe this Scott Burnstein was the author.I would have to think that his being a friend of Anastasia ans him sitting down with Leonetti he has a ton to offer on the Philly mob.I very much believe that there is a good chance that if these factions are at odds that you could see a body or two on the street.I mean who would have ever thought the alleged Nicodemo hit would have happened around Christmas time in broad daylight just a couple years ago.

I think we're actually talking 3 factions, Merlino-Mazzone and two Scarfo-era factions - Nardudcci, who I'm being told is no longer hanging at Encore Nightclub do to a falling out with his nephew, and another with the Pungitores

factions aside

how many recognized crews do they have these days? it used to be 3 right?
s. philly, s. jersey, n. jersey
or maybe philly had 2

I was kind of wondering that myself. You hear all the time what most of the Scarfo guys thought of Joey but I don't think I read anything regarding what their thoughts on Georgie is

What's the issue with The Pungitore's and the Narducci's? No way it's still from Salvie and Chickie, is it?

I can't remember who said it on here but they said Joey Punge is legit in real estate and that Anthony Pung is still involved, don't know how true it is.

Thought Scott's article stated they were under Narducci? Not a seperate crew.

it's probably difficult splitting 20lbs of mid-grade weed witih 20 guys

that's good one cook. like the 28 guys in the outfit splitting a ounce of coke, a gram each.

Lmao. And Pmac for the win!

lol imagine those 80 year old dynosaurs cooking it into crack to turn a profit lol.

Nice article Scott and thanks for sharing this information

Don't let the posters that ruined this thread shy you away from posting more, non NY/NJ stuff is always interesting to me. Especially the Philly crew as I have seen some of their guys up by me.

chicago metropolitan area has damn near 5 million people

south philly is dirty and they all live on top of each other

plus they smoke meth (nicodemo hit)

I'm sure they aren't buried there anymore .

I think he was speaking metaphorically.

PB why don't you show up as one of the top posters?

And what the south side of Chicago must look like heaven..? come onnn man.. the Mexican and vietnamise can frame houses and do concrete... their building up.. And we brick veneer houses down there.. Oh and the carpenters gut and reframe the inside.. their are a lot of nice expensive units down there...Rent as much as a mortgage in the burbs... Fact.. lots of yuppies moving in.. Use Zillow house finder.. you can Zillow any property in all 50 states and get an apx price...south philly property is more $$ the the south side of Chicago.. Now bak 2 topic. they are dealing with weed money and a few deadbeat gamblers.. Ac don't exist any more.. they cant mess with down there... plus the casinos anit makin any money anyway.. And yea I was right,2 vegas mike I only said joey better not play games he aint the only one around... there are independent people and 2 other fractions maybe.. pungitorie / narducci..
