Merlino gives Stan Stein the cash and he "buys" it for Merlino and gives it to him under the auspices or appearance that he is just buying for and giving stuff to Merlino and his wife and daughters. What you just described is money laundering. That's a twenty year minimum for a predicate felon in the Federal System. So for Joey's sake, he's much better off if it's a gift (and to be fair, I think it's a gift). You younger guys have to realize that mob guys have ALWAYS had their groupies. Christ, can you imagine if there were social media (or the Internet at all, for that matter) while Gotti was at his peak? Or, better yet, Capone? And SOME of these guys were never shy about taking gifts from civilians. Getting free shit is a big part of the criminal mindset. And he's buying Joey a home in West Palm? Shit, with the man-crush this guy has on him, Joey should hold out for Jupiter Island. Or, better yet, move to the Gulf Coast and insist on Marco Island. That's what I'd do ![whistle whistle](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/whistling.gif) .

He's done a ton of time-if he's halfway smart he'll enjoy the sun , the women and the food that freedom allows and focus on that restaurant or anything legitimate. Life on the installment plan doesn't seem fun.

I don't think it's that far fetched that Stein is just a rich lonely mob groupie who is paying to be pals with some mob guys. lol

I have no proof, but common sense tells me that after being locked up for 14 years and the operations shrinking significantly and his ridiculous lifestyle and an expensive RICO trial, no way is he sitting on a pile of cash. He's an idiot with money and spends it as fast as he made it. IMO, I don't think he was ever a millionaire

Guys like Scarfo and Bruno made boatload more cash that Merlino, they we're in the life during its heyday. Joey was a gang leader. Big difference

I don't think it's that far fetched that Stein is just a rich lonely mob groupie who is paying to be pals with some mob guys. lol I agree. Like I said, these guys have always had their groupies. Look at all the cash that Kasman threw at John Gotti Senior for all those years. "Adopted son," my ass. Kasman was nothing more than a groupie and a human ATM machine to Gotti. That he turned out to be a snitch is almost funny. But the Merlino/Stein "arrangement" is even more pathetic because Stein is much older than Merlino. Kasman was a young guy who was up the ass of an older mob guy. You see that all the time. Stein's a rich old man up a younger guy's ass so he can feel tough. I think it's hysterical. You know how I feel about "high profile" wiseguys, BlackJack. We've discussed the topic a million times here, at RD, and in pms. But, in this case, this Stein guy is so fucking stupid that I hope Joey takes him for millions. And by stupid, I'm not talking about book smarts. The guy is a millionaire and no dummy in that respect. But he can't be very street smart to allow himself to be exploited like such an asshole. Good for Joey ![lol lol](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/lol.gif) .

With his salary from his hosting gig, and the envelopes wags brings him, you really think he doesnt have that? Not too far fetched imo... $250k liquid cash at his disposal is alot of money, especially with what Philly is currently doing. That's $250k cash after his house, cars and any other assets. His lifestyle is similar to Gotti's but Joey's not paying the steep NYC prices. The Feds want him in for life, if he was smart, he'd stay in Florida, do the restaurant thing for a while until the next best new restaurant comes to Boca (and it will), collect some gambling proceeds from Philly and stay under the radar. After 14 years, it's a gift that he's out. The next time will be much longer in the can...if some rat doesn't make a deal in the future and hand him up on a silver platter. What's Borgesi's status? Is he still shelved for the time being? He's unpredictable and if he isn't allowed to earn, he'll get into something and hand Joey up on a silver platter when the Feds catch up with him.

Who knows what Georgie Boy is up to, probably still stirring shit up in Delaware County...
He is getting what he deserves imo, guy is a real piece of work.
He was about to kill the waitress until someone stopped him in that diner hit attempt on Joey Chang From my understanding, Georgie is a wild card and completely unpredicatable. If he doesn't have the life, he has nothing and it wouldn't surprise me if he cooperated in the future...especially if his old friends aren't letting him have the control he feels he deserves after keeping his mouth shut and doing some time. Do you guys think that Nicodemo will eventually cooperate after rotting in a cell for a while? It's not unheard of and Nicodemo wasn't a big wig in LCN, but I give the guy credit for keeping his mouth shut thus far. Any news of the old Scarfo guys and a power struggle?

I don't see Nicodemo flipping. If he would have, he would have done it before pleading out because his info would have been more valuable then. You'll be lucky to cut your sentence in half now at best not to mention putting your family in danger. I just don't see it at this point. Do you actually see his wife (as young as she is) staying married to him for the rest of her life? If so, how is she being supported with him off the street?

She owns over $1 million worth of real estate. She'll be fine.
