Merlino is a hard man to kill, its not as easy as you might think...no one in merlinos inner circle wil turn on him or set him up but enjoy your fantasies
They'd have a better chance at killing the president, right? LOL
The guy was almost killed by that junkie Veasey. Send a few pros down from NY and he would be pushing up daisies.
The mafia is known for treachery and backstabbing. Fear and money is more powerful than loyalty.
lol at "pros down from NY". Were the Colombos really any better at shooting at each other during their war?
Scarpa and Wild Bill were pretty good. That kid popped Joey Scopo pretty easily. I think at least a dozen guys were killed. The Colombos were the jokesters of NY too. Send in some of the Luccheses or Genovese and Skinny boy wouldn't stand a chance.
It's funny how people think Merlino is untouchable. Who did he really go up against? Half of the Philly family had just been wiped out by RICO and half of what was remaining was fighting with the other half. Stanfa's top hitman was a non-Italian junkie. Even Albert Anastasia, Maranzano, and Masseria were killed. Merlino was more powerful than those guys? LOL
Veasey's mother was Sicilian, so why is it such a big deal that Stanfa used him?
Tommy Del Giorno's mother was Croatian, yet nobody bats an eyelid about that.
People read far too much into surnames.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
