Outside of NYC I think merlino will still be boss in 5 and as charismatic as he is the guys a born leader and probly build a small army down philly Florida and south jersey.
Aside from the fact that Merlino will probably be serving a Predicate RICO in five years, do you have any idea how many New York wiseguys are living part-time in Palm Beach and Broward Counties?
I hope he retires, but do you think Vinny Artuso and the Gambinos are just gonna let Joey build a "small army" when Vinny comes home next year? They have thirty guys in that area
RIGHT NOW.
You could be right about Philly. I don't know and I don't care. My interest Merlino is recent, and it's only due to the fact that he lives close by when we're in Florida.
