@Serp I loved the Mafia Prince book. I felt it was factual but judging by Phil's demeanor and certain things said about him by other wiseguys that flipped, I think he was the most cunning and dangerous out the Philly crew. He always said "I knew my uncle like the back of my hand. But no one ever knew what I was really thinking."
Also did Phil really care about Salvie and if so why not go to bat for him like he did when Uncle Nick wanted to clip Chuckie and Laurence? Not may Philly guys really liked Phil " it was a silver spoon thing again , but Salvi was the same as Phil . Salvie would come down and stay down and they were so close you would hardly ever see Phil " they were that close. Yogi and Chuckie grew up in Ducktown and moved to Philly and they were just close with Nick and Phil and Yogi hit it off . Phil saved Yogi so many times !

I think it would have only been a matter of time before Scarfo turned on Leonetti too! If you were the boss Nick would respect you or anyone he had to in the life and just barely . Nick would have chased off anyone !!! Nicky Jr. Was the only one that I think that really loved him respected him and would follow him unconditionally of course his other two sons loved there father . Not good to say but that's me looking in since Jr was a boy .

The whole Philly regime seems like its' always turmoil brewing. Nicky was a paranoid fuck. Salvie deserved better than that. Nick being stuck in the 30’s-40’s thinking guys are not going to rat but they will kill to me seams to be it and what he seen in the life since very young boy in NY was kill kill kill and it guarantees silence the man’s rackets and one less person to worry about until the new breed of gangster that will not do time !!! Horrible what went down with Salvie butNick stuck with Chuckie wishes when he should of done it differently Salvie was a major asset .

QD I remember the time and Salvi being in Ventnor at his spot on the bay but he was always around in summer he had business and property here .
As far as a sit down I wish I was privy to that information because it went from sort of alright that he dumped Chuckie’s daughter to full on looking and people were asking once it got out of the inner circle.
I still say it was Chuckie and the strings he was pulling in Philly to make things look a lot worse for Salvie and one a made guy gets wind someone is getting hit they are like sharks looking to get his spot and rackets ! It was really gross ! In Phil's book & the Crow's book , they both said Salvie was layin' low & not showing up 4 meets etc. , in that summer...so why would he b down the shore so often if he was jitterey , & also ..they could have just whacked the poor guy if they knew he was down there??....poor Salvie , if it were not 4 Scarfo's paranoia , he & Philip might just b the kings of Phila./A.C. 2day! I never read any books other then Phil’s but I did not mean that necessarily it was summer of 84 when he was hiding... in general that was his M/O in summer to be here . To be honest with you I can’t remember that summer at all . The only reason I remember that time period was because of Salvi getting hit and I can’t remember when that was.

hey Serp, now that Nicky has passed and a lot of the guys are home from doing bids... any chance Phil will tell the WHOLE story for a film? Don’t know but he was in Ducktown with James Leonard a few months back and that’s how the first book started but I do not know for sure. The guy knows how to make money and he knows that story is huge if done right and with many of the (Big) guys he put away are dead or close possible he gets it out there

Very clam and very polite as a teen then he spent more time with Nick and he was a little different but nothing crazy just was not around much as before then he started dressing different you would see him ona different pay phone all over AC and boards.
But he was a good dude he respected his elders and his younger family members not a dick at all unless crossed . Now don’t get me wrong his head blew up cos he was good looking and had cash and more power each day till he didn’t.
He is the same in life that you see in all the interviews other then he did have a mean streak when he needed.
Thanx Serp...that was nice of u 2 get a little personal w/ us...we all know that u have had more time than any of us near that famiglia .....everybody loves ur posts...U once told me that they ate White House Subs on Saturday afternoons ,,that was cool & sort of personal...I cant imagine Nicky Scarfo shoving a hoagie down his little throat....just laughing thinking about it...that poor scumbag didn't probably know how 2 eat pussy correctly...lol.. I agree with Hood. I appreciate the first hand knowledge.

His eyes are so dead. Always been a good looking guy but very creepy. Now that Scarfo Sr. has passed, will we ever get Phil to write a script. I know there’s a lot more he didn’t put into his book!

I don’t know how much I have posted on this but I know I have told a few people here that I have known for some years so having said that he was here and the people he was with were same with the book .
There is more but not about a book or a movie just some personal stuff and I have a feeling he has been around kind of often and for good reason.
I guess we can take that with want we want cos it could of been just a meet with business partner or similar. Serp we could only hope. That film done the right way could be a classic like Goodfellas!

Hey Serpiente,you know I have always enjoyed your post.I have been reading Breaking The Mob.It is written by the cop who turned Mario Riccobene and the guys who shot Salvie, that Deluca guy and the Moran guy.His first hand accounts are dang good reading.He suggest from what I gather that Leonetti,who always claims he was pissed at Scarfo for killing Testa actually feared Salvie would one day take over.That the future of the family would come down to those two.That Testa was more ruthless,at 28 a seasoned mobster.Testa had a crew that was deadly and loyal.The Milano brothers,the Grande brothers, the Punges, Narducci brothers.Leonetti feared this and actually pushed for his murder.The cop states that he wired a phone call where Testa called Scarfo and told him Chuck Merlino was a piece of shit, a drunk and couldn't handle business.So Testa saw this in Merlino even before Scarfo.Scarfo and Leonetti both feared Salvie I believe.Do you believe Leonetti was sad over his "friend" salvies death
