Skinny Joey Out This Week

Anyone else find it odd how often Burnstein and Anastasia call him handsome?

I think it’s just Burnstein who calls him handsome.

I know Anastasia has called him handsome at least a few times. I've read at least two of Anastasia's books and a lot of his articles and I remember him referring to Michael Ciancaglini as handsome too. I'm not debating it, I just find it a bit weird.

He was called Skinny Joey since the 80s because he has a first cousin named Joey Merlino also (Yogi's son) who they called Fat Joey. The other Joey Merlino (Yogi's son) has always lived down the shore in Ventnor. There's also another Lawrence Merlino whose around my age (Yogi's Grandson) who was always down the shore I got to know through the club scene in AC, hes down in Florida now last I checked but I do not do nightclubs anymore like I did back in my 20s.

Interesting tidbit, the younger Lawrence Merlino always used to roll with Skinny Joey's oldest daughter not many people know about that he didn't have with Rita. She always lived down at the shore too in AC. I think she lives on an island in the Caribbean now last I checked, again I lost touch with that AC club scene years ago. Haven Nightclub in AC is officially RIP now!!!!! The Haven days

Lexi. Saint Barths but she's been back in Brigantine

Fuck that place. Got chlamydia a few years ago and a broad from there was the prime suspect.

I'm interested in the guys they might make in florida

Alite's name also surfaced in another notorious "hit" that generated intense media attention at the time. The wife of a prominent Cherry Hill rabbi was killed in her home, bludgeoned to death by an intruder. The murder of Carol Neulander occurred on Nov. 1, 1994. Over the next four years it would be the focus of an intense investigation by the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. At one point word leaked out that investigators had questioned Alite, described as a notorious "mob hit man" then living in Cherry Hill.

"I remember driving home one day with Claudia," Alite said. "She was living in the house on Brick Road. When we pulled up, there were two guys in suits and ties, a white guy and a black guy, waiting at the door."

Alite still laughs when he recounts the story.

"Oh look, Jehovah's Witnesses," Claudia said when she spotted the men.

"That's how naïve she was," Alite said. "I knew right away they were detectives. I told them to come in. They indicated that they didn't think I had anything to do with it, but said they had to question me. I didn't realize it, but sometimes when I went jogging, I would jog past the Neulander house, the house where she was killed. She owned a cake shop and I used to stop in there sometimes. And I used to work out and play racquetball at the same gym where the rabbi worked out. I might have even played a game or two of racquetball with him. I don't remember."

Alite said he was open and honest with the detectives, telling them frankly that he was making too much money on his own to hire out as an assassin. What's more, he said, he would never kill a woman.
"I told them it was either some junkie or it was the husband," Alite said.

Alite was right. It was the rabbi. Fred Neulander was arrested in September 1998 and charged with hiring two men to kill his wife. Both hit men, one a recovering alcoholic whom the rabbi had befriended and was counseling, confessed and cooperated with authorities. They testified at two trials. The first ended with a hung jury, the second with Fred Neulander's conviction for first-degree murder. Neulander is currently serving a life term.

God Bless him! I always liked him, he was always a gentleman when he was out.

merlinos the real deal and him showing up to xmis partys in the bronx to the genovese people just proves he gets respect across the nation when it comes to the mafia shit and he was raised in it. he shot scarfo jr and took over the town the guy has big balls. hes ran it since

How do you know merlino killed anyone?

How do you know merlino killed anyone?

I'm just saying if thier was evidence merlino did half the things you claim he would be in prison already. He's not in prison because there's no proof that he did any of those things, it's all just rumor so be careful how you assinate somebody's character without proof

Serp, I know you are very well connected and have a lot more experience than me. I’m just talking as a civilian who is friendly with Joey.

I also heard he was abusive to people and a bully with his friends around. Abusing someone in front of a wife, girlfriend, or family is usually a death sentence.

I was running from Longport to Atlantic City yesterday and I take a break around Bartram ave. And who do I see ..two guys one gets out of his contractor truck dressed in jeans and work attire ,the other out of a sports car in leather jacket and slacks .

They nodded at each other and head down the entrance and over the dune on to the beach. Now that’s fine but it was very sunny and warm .

Then there is this, both are street level guys and both fathers were with SCARFO Sr. and did time .

Now it was for sure a walk and talk with wind and a very loud ocean crashing within feet . Now you wont get a good recording so these guys are trying or they would meet at Wawa.

Now I will check and see if they are involved since there are some others moving up in this area , both theses guys being entrenched in the mob for many years .
I will post who they are if I find its worth and morally right to post names.

But the one still has his fathers business all these years later.

Very interesting Dante..

Serp check your PM

Philly got to have maybe 60 made guys on the streets now

Does Merlino have any direct dealings with guys in Sicily or
Italy? He is opposed to using some good workers from over the ocean ?

Sicilians do operate in philly, if they operate independent of lcn is unknown, but with philly's whole family back in play I imagine everybody that's making a dime is kicking up

Do you have to kick up part of what you make running for the family's online fan club? Or do you get a pass because of the extensive ball washing services that you provide?
