PHILLY MOB BUCKLES, BRUNO-SCARFO CLAN STAGGERED BY RACKETEERING CASE THAT SNAGS STEVIE MAZZONE, DOM GRANDE


November 24, 2020 – The house of cards that is the Philadelphia mafia had its shaky foundation hit with a sledgehammer Monday morning with the indictment of 15 leaders, members and associates of the Bruno-Scarfo crime family on federal drug, gambling and extortion charges. Alleged Philly mob underboss Steven (Handsome Stevie) Mazzone and rising-star capo Domenic (Baby Dom) Grande were the top two gangland figures named in the case.

Federal prosecutors are seeking to keep Mazzone and Grande locked up until trial, requesting any bails requests by the case’s No. 1 and No. 2 defendants be rejected. They face 20-year sentences if convicted and are scheduled to be arraigned Friday. Both Mazzone and Grande are confidants of Philly mafia boss Joseph (Skinny Joey) Merlino, who relocated to South Florida in 2011 and runs the crime family from afar, according to the feds.

Mazzone, 56 and always dapper and tan in appearance, did almost a decade behind bars on a 2001 racketeering conviction and has been part of the Philly mob’s administration since the 1990s. He’s best friends with Merlino, also convicted in the 2001 case.

Handsome Stevie’s younger brother, Salvatore (Sonny) Mazzone, was busted last Thursday morning on bookmaking charges. Sonny Mazzone, 55, is said to be a mafia soldier and also close to the swaggering Skinny Joey. Monday’s indictment was superseding to that case and others dating back to early last year. Neither Mazzone brothers were charged with narcotics trafficking.

The icy-cool, newly-married 41-year old Grande is Mazzone’s nephew by way of marriage and reportedly being mentored by Mazzone and Merlino to one day take over their regime as don. His father, Salvatore (John Wayne) Grande, was a hit man and drug dealer in the Philly mob currently living in the Witness Protection Program.

Others to go down in Monday’s case include, Joseph (Joey Electric) Servidio, Lou (Louie Sheep) Barretta, Victor (Big Vic) DeLuca, Daniel (Cozy) Castelli, Daniel (Danny Blue Eyes) Malatesta, Sr., Anthony (Tony Meatballs) Gifoli, Kenny Arabia, Carl Chianese, John Romeo, Danny Bucceroni, Joe Malone and John Payne.

Malone is Handsome Stevie’s former father-in-law. He is alleged to have ordered a baseball bat beating of a debtor, per the indictment.

“Louie Sheep” Barretta, 56, is one of Mazzone’s longtime aides. Barretta was nabbed with Handsome Stevie in the 2001 indictment and did prison time. “Big Vic” DeLuca’s dad, Victor DeLuca, Sr. was a turncoat mobster in the 1980s.

Malatesta, Sr., Castelli, Chianese and Bucceroni were nailed in a cocaine conspiracy earlier this month. Malastesta’s son is a Mazzone and Merlino associate and Castelli’s daughter is married to a prominent South Philly bookmaker and adviser to Merlino.

The 60-year old “Joey Electric” Servidio pleaded guilty to drug charges in the summer and got 15 years. He is a mob soldier in the Bruno-Scarfo crime family’s North Jersey wing.

The superseding indictment filed Monday references an October 15, 2015 “making ceremony” or mafia induction ritual taking place in a South Philly private residence and presided over, at least partially, by Stevie Mazzone. According to the indictment, some of the new initiates were placed in Dom Grande’s crew and immediately instructed to push into Atlantic City in a series of rackets on behalf of the Pennsylvania crime syndicate. Grande was allegedly tasked with “reclaiming” territory in Atlantic City.

Skinny Joey Merlino, 58, is on parole down in Boca Raton stemming from a minor gambling conviction. Merlino assumed power in the Philly mob in the mid 1990s after winning a bloody turf war and surviving several assassination attempts. During those tumultuous times, Mazzone became Skinny Joey’s right-hand man and primary emissary to the street and other crime chiefs.

With almost 40 made men the Philly Mob isn't dead but is a shadow of the feared Scarfo family era,an example is that a drug dealer sell fake drugs to wiseguys in Atlantic City and them wasn't able to kill them.

I'm finding it funny Trump claims that Skinny Joey conspired with Democratic election officials to rig the ballots in Philadelphia.

i'm surprised of the resilience these people still have anyway, another group would be destroyed with just 1 indictment

Wish that Dominic Rugnetta would write a book or something. 95?!?

He had Bruno, Scarfo and Merlino as bosses.

I dont think it. Franzese and the other mobsters that died at 100 or almost 100 yeats old never wrote a book and editore would give him milions for a testimony of old time mafia.

Where is Serp when I need him????/

Of course. They took an oath and he doesn't need the money and he is enjoying the rest of his life as a free man stress free being shelved. Was saying it more as in

"imagine the stories he has or could tell being 95 and having been involved with Philly LCN since before Appalachian.

Hypotetycally speaking nothing imposes them to write a book and ask publishers to release them after their death.So they don't break the omertà and they will leave to their heirs a lot of money in royalties.

This is actually a very interesting debate between historians. Some historians advocate for the possibility to record the "testimony" or the "story" of people involved in illegal activities and release them only after they died. It's an important part of the history of societies and countries that is often undermined.

It mostly concerns people involved in terrorist activities. The first project of that sort was created by Boston College who interviewed several former members of the IRA and the UVF. In one instance two IRA members admitted to an unsolved murder (Jean McConville) incriminating other people who were still active and not part of the project. British justice tried to seize the tapes and prosecute these guys.

What are you even talking about. You should stick your hypotheticals where you know they belong.

Dom Grande made bail

Furio the photo of Anthony Perisiano where did you get it ?????

Because it’s Anthony Perisiano but not the rat MF ….. the picture is a waiter that used to work at Angeloni’s in early - mid 80’s he moved to Vegas and just came back …. He is a friend but not the rat …. That’s wrong picture….. the guy in picture is a great guy .


Someone got it off social media and it’s wrong …. Going to get my boy killed .

Wait till i show him … he just got back in town after more then 20 or 30 years …. And people are grabbing his picture off his social media …. No shit .


The rat AP has round face shorter fat ish and round !!!! Parts hair on side .

The names are spelled same thats why they got it off social Media but the rat picture was in the press so why do guys get wrong person off social media shit my boy is all over Margate last few weeks …. Crazy

That's fucked up Serp...where did Furio get that pic??...that can cause some major shit.!!

Using a picture of the wrong guy in a chart like this is just plain messed up.

I don't think Furio is the one who made the chart, but the one who did make the chart should rectify this asap.

The chart should be taken down or edited immediately.

I'd like to see Louie's picture used for those charts. Make him underboss for the DeCavs or something

You guys do know that people in the mafia know what Anthony Persiano looks like right?
No ones going to mistake him for a former waiter...
Prospective employers will do a background check and know there not the same person if he goes to get a job
The only people who would know about this are the people on the forums and that’s a small community
Now if an article about Anthony Persiano were to appear in US Today w this picture that would be a different story...

I don't think actual mobsters will pose a threat here, but there's always the risk of wannabe morons who could come across this guy's picture and think beating the guy up would be a good idea just because they think it's impressive to beat up a rat. Is it likely to happen? Probably not, but there's always a risk. I mean, there's plenty of idiots running around.

Aside from that, it's the principle: using the picture of a law-abiding citizen in a chart like this is in poor taste. It's still organized crime we're talking about and it still concerns serious people.

I don’t know if Furio made the chart but i think he posted it ….. nobody is going to shoot my friend …. But in Margate and Philly theres a bunch of guys in there 20’s looking at there phone …but figure someone would say something like that .

But got to consider the source ….. tons of punks on there phones sharing that shit …. And its a current picture … so if he is standing in Memories there is going to be a problem .

Hood its on his social media

The guy has never been in the life but he knows many that have been …. Something you don’t want to start spreading around …. It really needs to be fixed .


The real rat AP has fucked over lots of people for many years …. So its not just the mob .

That is wild they got something similar happen related to some black web stuff in Canada? Might sound strange and if it’s out of the blue or in appropriate, I apologize, but something about Scarfo and the BGF? It’s a similar thing to why John Papalia never got buried and his friend Walter getting double crossed, tons of rats talking shit about that guy, as well as a Johnny’s Mother being a whore? A Maria like Joey Merlinos sister, some real Calabrese stuff. The Holy Mother?

Like Mike Tyson and the Nation of Islam, Martin Luther King or Cassius Clay, they got a similar type in white, as well as traditional and the similar shades.

For sure … all it takes is five guys drinking at a bar and someone calls him by his last name or someone overheard another say thats so and so them not even knowing the rat AP and one of these young guys look on there phone to double check ….. bam !!! That’s it they are sure its him …. Super easy here at the shore or in Philly ….. i get it in
Bum fuck Missouri its not a problem .

Dose ur friend know about this potential problem Serp?..

when does this trial start? dom could get drug time.. where is ralph staino these days i believe he was out. does dom an the guys still hang out at stogie joes? and yes all charts should be banded , some one could b just an innocent brother of someone or just plain mistaken identiy.

Staino died years ago

Ralph Staino..yes , Chin,...& I might add..died a very depressed man..w/ his longtime love Tiger Lil by his side...(Lillian Reis)..a so called stripper & definetly a 60's showgirl who owned a major club back in the day here in center city Phila...she was also implicated w/ Ralphie in what is known as the Pottsville Heist ...about the major robbery of a coal baron tycoon.
