Why would they release it on here? i dont remember ever reading merlino was not the official boss they always said ligambi was acting boss anyway never read he was the official boss.

I dont know what you mean by "cherry picking the facts to fit your argument." but your right maybe i am misunderstanding what you are saying


Why wouldn't they release it? They usually do in a press release, or Capeci or GA reports it from the feds...it happens all the time.

So why were they keeping it a big secret about Merlino all those years until the tapes? Doesnt make any sense to me.

You said Ligambi was always referred to as acting boss and Joey official? I don't remember it that way at all. The consensus on the boards seemed to be that Ligambi eventually took over as Official sometime after Merlino went to jail. Maybe I am remembering it wrong then.
