Lol

It was the 80s. Nothing fashion-related made sense in the 80s.

That thing was sweet. That was when he was still a member of color me bad but he got to big for his britches or wat ever the fuck that word is.

Hey that could probaly be the photo from the day them two were inducted. Looks like nino brown suits 92ish. Am I my brother keeper. Who the lady his mom or joes.

seriously he was a fruit? ahahah wow...
have to admit i remember that virgils story in the news back in the day, surprised the "acting underboss" hangs out with him, fuckin crazy

He's FLAMING!



Frank Gambino's soldiers.

I've always said the Merlino crew aren't really LCN. more a street gang of friends.

Chang being friends with a known rat is really unexpected, and he's literally top 3-5 in that family, what a joke they are. No wonder Narducci can't stand him.

Virgil Mariutti's kid Joseph owns a barbershop down in South Philly on Moyamensing jointly with Frank Narducci's Jr's son also named Frank Narducci. So this isn't just Johnny Chang. Might not be much to this?

i am getting confused I thought the narduccis hated this guy. If they did then why is franks son doing business with him. The johnny chang thing really did surprise me

This Joe Mariutti kid is an asshole from what I hear but he's not a rat like his father. Narducci's son has been friends with this kid for many years and is no part of LCN

If Philly was old school this wouldn't happen but Philly isn't. Loosely connected guys running sports book, loaning and a little extortion.

Looks like Merlino raided MC Hammer's wardrobe.

On another side note does anyone think that the Rocco Maniscalco murder in 2011 was a mob hit or unrelated? Sure seemed like a mob hit to me and it was confirmed from a family member that he was getting leaned on by Borgesi from jail and pushing back (he was a bookie as well as a tow truck operator). For whatever reason it didn't seemed to get picked up by the Feds to closely or get as much press as the DiPietro fiasco but just seemed like an obvious connection was there and the more likely explanation based on the available theories... Anyone have any thoughts or tidbits on this?

Wasn't he in trouble with multiple people? That may be why the mob connection isn't as harped on.

Who knows?...Maybe The Sins of the ForeFathers and all.


On a real side note: @Moe..

Are your friends going to be upset with you for posting a picture of them at one of your Saturday night "Sleepover" parties?

I think that hit occurred on Ligambi's watch in 2009, rather than 2011. It's difficult to say what happened exactly, but I think there's certainly a good chance that this had something to do with those guys. Would we know who whacked out Gino DiPietro if Nicodemo had not been caught red handed? People would speculate, but we wouldn't really be nowhere close to any answer.

Mikey Chang won't be anyway because he's dead.

"About Nuts"


Me:"What do you call nuts on a wall?"

Moe: Walnuts..

Me: "Ding..Ding..Ding..Give this man a cee-gar."

Me:"What do you call nuts on your chest?"

Moe: Chestnuts!

Me: "Right again, Moe."

Me: "What do you call nuts on your chin?"

Moe: " I don't know, Chin-nuts?"

Me: "Nah, a Dick in your mouth Biatch!


*Moe thinks to himself*... "Dam, he figured me all out."



Sorry for the trolling!


Come on, who loves ya Kid!

What do you call your nuts?

Acorn nuts.

What do I call mine?

Coconuts.

What do I love?

Cashew nuts.

Seems like something that could have been mob related

On a side note...Rocco was the grandson of Harry Riccobene

this is what scott had to say about the rocco maniscalco hit in 2010

Rocco Maniscalco (June 10, 2010) – South Philly auto bodyshop owner, reputed drug dealer and bookie was shot to death as he walked home after leaving a local bar down the block from his rowhouse where he had just watched a playoff hockey game, possibly killed for repeatedly rebuffing mafia shakedown attempts. FBI files indicate that imprisoned then-consigliere George (Georgie Boy) Borgesi had sent strong-arms to squeeze Maniscalco and extort money from his gambling and narcotics businesses in the months leading up to his slaying. Maniscalco, 38, was the grandson of legendary Philadelphia mobster Harry (the Hunchback) Riccobene.







its hard to know it could have been mob related it could have also been drug related. I personally think it had nothing to do with the mob why kill someone you are trying to shake down it makes no sense

they'll probably be the first family to videotape a hit and post it on social media

Thanks that's all helpful... Isn't that the whole point of shakedowns? If you don't pay then you die (i.e. Frankie Flowers)? Or else why would people pay?

What GR is implying is that if you are trying to shake someone down and you kill them, you'll never receive any money from that person.

Good article from 2001 Philly Mob Trial

I've only seen Phil narducci mentioned as hating Chang and that guy, not heard anything about Frank

It seems like there is more written about Philly than any other family.

Thanks, Dante. Hope you had a nice Christmas, bud.

LOL. Is this the one who ended up beating the shit out of him?

Marty has to be the biggest joke in the Philly mob.

They are easily the most covered family by a local press.

New York has a population of 8.5 mil. Philadelphia has a population of 1.5 mil.

Yet there are more posters from Philly than there are from NY.

The mob gets f*** all coverage in the NY press yet seems to get year round coverage in Philly press.

And for what? They have no pedigree.
