Merlino is said to be depending on members of the Philadelphia crime family to kick in for a defense fund. Reports are that a "fund raiser" is in the works. There have been grumblings, however. Some of the guys from downtown who were routinely sending cash to Merlino while he was living in Florida were surprised to learn that Joey had other sources of income that he neglected to mention.


interesting looks like the philly guys did not know about what he had going on with New York. Crazy how expensive it is hiring Jacobs but he is worth it probably the best mob lawyer out there at the moment
