Has anyone been made since Merlino got out??

Regardless of whether he is in fact official boss, seems since Ligambi got off it is a new leadership so any whispers of new guys getting in?

Grande? maybe he was made earlier

dom grande in 2011, sonny mazzone in 2011 and this kid in north jersey servigo

Joseph Servidio I think you mean

yearh that's who I mean


I think those were the guys merlino wanted to induct but ligambi said no and that merlino can make them when he gets out of the can. That's what scoops and big lou said on tape

come on guys, Joey posts pictures on Instagram from the ceremonies now......he may periscope them next...or maybe even do a pay-per-view...

Good one.

Merlino is the real deal and anyone that is old school Philly will confirm that. He took on a Sicilian mobster and won back South Philly. The problem is nobody from the younger crowd to step up and be the next Skinny so the cameras can follow him around and take the heat off of Skinny like he did for alot of old timers. Need a young guy with balls to step up now like he did. Someone not scared to go to jail like him. Skinny is veteran now and deserves respect.Old timers made a killing while Joey was boss because he took the heat off them now someone needs to take heat off him. I dont know younger crowd does anyone on here know if there is any up and comers that are as serious as he was? Who is the next Skinny I am to old to know that crowd but would like to here input on subject.

Wouldnt surprise me if they made a guy or two this summer. Unless somebody flips we wont know for a couple years though.

merlino probably made somebody on a street corner infront of federal agents

i'm sure he made somebody just to show he's the big willy

You mean like a live webcast?

Lol. At least you're consistent.

He probably did make some guys, though. The guys Ligambi spoke about on the Skins tape.

He made 2 guys this summer, and someone up top got it wrong Lou and scoops talked bout making other people when skinny gets out Servidio and Grande were made my uncle joe

I remember having this conversation in another thread. Grande was very likely one of the guys Ligambi was talking about. It was a couple years after the last ceremony that Grande was made.

Who might these individuals be?

I am sure they were already id'd as associates

Wasnt grande made in 2011 with Sonny Mazzone and Joey Servidio? And how would anybody outside the family know 2 people got made this summer? I mean im not doubting that a guy or two did get made this summer, but even if they did im just wondering the source that people on this forum have to know it definetly did happen?? If anybody has a source and could share id love to hear it.

let's say I'm very close with Big lou

Yeah I am not too sure I believe this guy

Hell no I dont believe him either lol im just supposed to take dudes word for it lol

There is a rumor that a Narducci was recently inducted into the family, I think Windows son, but Phil has a lot of money on the street and has a loyal following behind him. The last I have heard on Phil, is he would like to take a bat to Joey, not sure if it is Joey Merlino or not, but I don't think Phil would bother with Merlino, as he views him somewhat as a punk.

I know there is another Frank Narducci that is Phils Nephew but wasnt sure if it was Windows kid or not. He is young like 30-35 but i never would of thought he was involved with that life.. I posted a picture of him with phil like 2 months ago. Also Phil and Franks sister has 2 kids the Baldinos that were involved with the Borgata Bust in AC.. Theyve been involved with mob gambling before so maybe one of them were inducted?

This is the younger Frank Narducci with Phil. Just wasnt sure if he was Frank "windows" Narducci son or not

For there whole thing lcn them guys in philly seen alot of shit tests dead then scarfo running the show from hour away then stanfa make sense and I bet my last buck its not as bad cause all the philly guys done alot of time and then fighting each other names it look like they don't have respect for there lcn flag if you now wat I kinda thinking.

Yes- the young Frank Narducci pictured above with Phil is Frank Narducci Jr's son. He's in his early thirties and owns a barbershop down in S. philly with Virgil Marriutti's son (friend of Salvy Testa, namesake of Phil Testa's bar Headquarters in Old City). I've always wondered if young Frank Narducci was involved or not, I don't know much about him or what his deal is outside of who he hangs with (lots of connected people and associates) and the barbershop. If what you heard about a Narducci getting made is true then it would have to be him because Phil doesn't have kids and Windows only has one son. And in which case if this is right then I am interested in hearing more. Where did you hear this? Is this legit @Giacomo? Handsome Stevie is correct about the Baldino's as well- Frank and Joe - they're Phil and Frank Jr's nephews (their sister Susan's sons) who are involved as mentioned above. They definitely could have been made as well possibly and it most likely would have been Joe (he's older) unless what you heard @Giacomo was that someone with the actual name "Narducci" got made recently. Definitely interested on some more details around this if you or anyone else can provide or elaborate on this. I heard an unconfirmed rumor that one of the Baldino nephews (Joe or Frank) got into a physical altercation with his uncle Phil at a gym and had some sort of falling out and Phil might have moved his operation out of Encore on Front & Chestnut, which the Baldino's own. Would love to know where Phil and Frank Narducci are hanging now and where they setup and operate out of now as well currently if that's actually how everything went down. Also, random side note, but did you all know that Joey Merlino actually has a third daughter (not just two from his current wife Debbie)?

I SECOND THAT.

too many names & places for this forum, ehhh???

joe valachi ring a note, or shall we tell frank friel how to revive his career or at least have raquel welch completely disrobe (via 1968)...

@hoodlum- Are you implying the above post(s) has too much information? If so, everything I posted has either been written about in the media or found on the internet in some way or other for the most part...

How can any of those guys be made when Narducci hates the very person (Merlino) who has sole authority on who gets made? Are you suggesting the Scarfo faction is going rogue?

It's pretty common knowledge, at least locally, that Phil Narducci is not on great terms with the current leadership. Years back a Friend of mine worked on a job with yyoung Frankie on a job when he was an apprentice ion local 98. Said he was a very nice guy. Very respectful. But, he didint like the type of work and left.

It's possible he could be involved. Or, he just likes spending time with his father and his uncle, since they were locked up for most of the kids life.

From what's going around, it would be somewhat of a stretch that anyone is helping Phils cause. But, I dunno. They haven't called the hotline with the update

1-800-gangsta, leave off the r for rats

@ Phl_mob

What's the name of the barbershop in south philly they own? Is it any good? I'm an absolute sucker for a good fade and will check it out next time I visit South Philly if it's worth it...

Like I said it is a rumor, and I would not say it is a legit source. The Narduccis don't like Merlino, but it seems that Joe only has a problem with Phil and not his brother Frank, which gives some credence that Merlino may have made someone in their crew. Of all the mobsters in Philly, I think Phil has the balls to hit Merlino. On the subject of the Baldino brothers, there is a rumor that Uncle Joe made Joe Baldino, you have to remember he and the Narducci brothers go way back before the Frankie Flowers hit.

o.k. i'm sorry..u r right

It's called Hairs To You on 16th & Moyamensing. I haven't gotten a cut there though, but I've heard good things...

I'll try it out the next time I find myself in south philly

It would make perfect sense merlino been out 4 yrs that stuff doesn't stop. They killed a guy during uncle Joe Rico trial so what's wrong with pricking someone's finger with a gun replecker an a knife.

Fuck that spelling rite up.

Its called " hair today, gone tomorrow". I think the Baldino's get their hair cuts there.

Sounds like a better name for a wig shop !!!

That's right they don't have them anymore ....
