Most powerful crew in Philly area

Scarfo/Merlino/Ligambi, Might get the most headlines but the Cherry Hill Gambinos are the badest guys in the area by far. You can have the headlines they made the BIG MONEY and had world wide connections. They are/were one scary fucking crew. In case you don't know Cherry Hill is just over the bridge from south philly so to say they didn't/don't do business there is not true. Nobody fucked with these guys. For you readers read into it. For you Leonetti book readers I eard there is story they held gun to one of the Philly guys heads and they were to scared to do anything. They ran to New York and cried like bitches. We wouldn't read Leonettis book so you cant quote me on that.

Ask Ligambi if he wants to fuck with these guys.

Raymond "Long John" Martorano being hit in a city he takes the responsibility of being boss in means he already did fuck with them. Ligambi is a dead man walking. Doesn't matter if he carried out hit he says he is boss and it happened it his territory so he is responsible. Torture!!!

Ya 15 years after the hit, Da Cherry Hill Boyz are coming after Uncle Joe. Get da fuck outta here kid.

I don't believe you .

Ligambi better get in the WPP quick Martorano had connections all over the world. That is some real, real, real scary shit he was connected to Canada and sicily. PPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY BBBBBBBBAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is he going to go to? Skinny? Please.

Wtf? I doubt they care what hapnd to long john

I don't believe you.

fucker beat me to it!

I've always been a bit premature.

No, no, no, I meant immature!!!!

I was in the poooooool! I was in the pooooool!

You can play mob. Hold ceremonys. Loan money to cops, take bets give each other titles, set up poker machines, do magazine interviews, but be careful you might just start to believe you are the mob and end up fucking with the real thing. Then you are fucked!!! he should of stuck to playing the video game it is safer. The real thing is very,very,very,very, scary!!!!!!!!!

Dis guy right here ^^^^ Fugazzy!

I respectfully disagree, Dellacroce. Fugazy implies fake, and this guy is genuine.

He's genuinely crazy. Or inbred. Or mentally challenged. Or twelve years old. Or all of the above.

I'm rooting for all of the above because it's easier for me to pity people who have more than one problem.

Word is Ligambi had a ad in the paper a while back said ranks are thin and Uncle Joe wants you. Only catch was you had to have job. Is that true? The mob was hiring and had ad in paper?

italy100 give it up bro it's getting old, grow the fuck up.

Italy100:

I don't mean this nicely: get the fuck off these boards.

It's Bradley Cooper, I know the sound of his voice

Tell her it was shrinkage!

It's too bad threads get corrupted like this .. We have some genuine good posters and this stuff just creeps in .. This is a good forum with good commentary only to be ruined by jerks ... Apologies to dellacroce and spmob and the rest - hope everyone is alive still in their brackets - that's from real philly poster

Thanks Jose

Here Here Jose

Whack him !

This Italy idiot must have something against Philly. Lol childish as shit though. Grow the fuck up and get your mess of a life together

NO NO NO NO! You've got it all wrong. It was Monster.com, not the paper.

All I hear about is the Philly faction of the family. The only mention I hear of the Atlantic City crew is from the 1980's. Are there any modern day AC experts on the boards???

Im no AC expert, and i im not sure how much(if any) the philly family operates in AC, but the philly guys operate through out south jersey, and have scoops licatas crew in north jersey.

This was the last major case I can recall involving the Philly Family in AC.

Hey Dellacroce, do you remember if Mikey Lance was involved in the Borgata case? I remember seeing his mugshot but I do not remember him being convicted or copping a plea.

Oh okay, I guess for the most part, the AC boardwalk based crew was just Little Nicky and Crazy Joe/ their guys.

Yeah i definatly remember lanceliotti being charged with gambling in that case, but i cant remember if he had to do any time or not, maybe ill google it.

Lance was charged but didn't do any time - a lot of the guys including nico got a slap on the wrist .. I'm sure AC has some things happening but nothing close to Nicky days. The money is real thin down there these days .. Construction is non existent , casino revenue down , doesn't leave much room for crews.

Found it looks like the charges were dropped-

"Related charges were dropped earlier against reputed mob capo Michael “Mikey Lance” Lancellotti, 45; reputed mob associate Steven “Stevie Gongs” Casasanto; Mark Gallasso, and Vincent Borgesi, said Peter Aseltine, a spokesman for the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office."

Thanks Jose and Dellacroce. Lance is definitely an enigma. How he does not get indicted is astounding. I do not think he is a rat but wow I wish I had his luck.

Do you guys think he is still a capo? I know this is guess work. Does he live in South Philly?

He's not on the Feds side at all. He lives in south Philly - not sure his status since Georgie release but he was capo before. He's a good guy and well liked in SP. He's super low key and probably never got caught on wire but Carries a lot of weight in philly

Jose you on the record yet with the Phila LCN ? What was it like to be a stranger sitting at the Federal Court House with all the mobsters families and friends

I remember that thing with ''Mikey Lance''I thought they said they thought it was him on the phone taps but come to find out it wasn't.He's so low key they can't even decipher his voice on a wire tap.

Surely Lance keeps his capo rank, if not he may be consig. Why would they take him down to soldier when he's been capo for over a decade and hasn't been indicted?
