Does Nicodemo have anything on Joey he was in prison for the past decade i guess it could be dominoes effect and the feds use everyone to bring joey up on some murder charges he hasnt been tried on yet

I just don't see how you would know, or have evidence that proves Nicodemo is THIS CLOSE to flipping as you say. The Feds thought they would get Galati to give them everything on Skinny/Uncle Joe and Philly in general? That didn't work out. Now, exactly like that article says, they have "sour grapes" and just want to get Merlino on the parole violation because they have nothing else.

Galati most likely is going to be put away for the rest of his life, and it seems like he's going to keep his mouth shut. Why is it so inconceivable then that Nicodemo will keep his mouth shut as well? I've posted this before. I'm not saying that he won't flip - it could very well happen if he loses the case and is looking at life in prison. And, the only reason I think there is a chance he flips, is because he is still relatively young and he has a hot wife and kids at home. I just don't understand why everyone thinks it is a guaranteed slam dunk that he is going to rat?

With the exception of that puppet Ralph Natale, nobody that has come up under Joey's faction has become a rat since he's been in charge. And even Natale was around as an associate during the Bruno days.

I don't want to be considered a fan boy. I just have a different opinion. I will concede, however, that if Nicodemo does turn, that could very well be the final nail in the coffin for LCN in Philadelphia. Their numbers are already low. Most of the top level guys would be taken off the street and they would be reduced to nothing more than a street gang. I don't think there would be any need for a formal hierarchy at that point.

Galati may be a tough guy now. And so may Nicodemo. But, give those guys some time in the pen, See if a few blow jobs can't change their mind.

You're right, and I tend to agree with you. But, I don't think Galati may be given enough credit. I may not be 100% correct here, but I'm pretty sure he's done some considerable time before and they asked him to give up Uncle Joe and anything on the family at the time. He did his time and kept his mouth shut like he was supposed to.

Like I said, BOTH of them may very well become rats and give up everything they know. But right now, I just don't see it as a "slam dunk" like everybody else does. Just my two cents.

Don Merlino wears pink shorts, gives interviews, has an Instagram account and meets with mobsters 2 months before he's off license.

The modern day Mafia boss

I agree with KING6 on Nicodemo that it's not a certainty he'll flip. Some guys are loyal to the very end. Personally I think he will flip once found guilty next year but who knows.

Yeah Savie that's a tough one,down here in Florida they do some kind of a form of a commercial that says this,that,and then it has an undercover with a mask on and he puts a small bottle of pills on the hood of a car and says this controlled substance will get you 25 minimum.Pretty damn outrageous I mean you deserve some time but that's nuts.

Buddy I totally agree with you, people on hear want him to flip so they can hear some inside stories about the Merlino mob, but like you said he doesn't have too many Rats that grew up with him, to me his south Philly crew are the real deal and they all were raised with the "Mob stuff" going on there whole life from fathers to uncles and so on...these guys ain't Rats, they really have proved it through the years with the cases they've been involved in...and I do think Nicodemo is going to beat it, not by his crazy allibye but I think they can get to a juror in a state case!!
I don't have an opinion on Galati.

PB in the movie ''The Wanderers'' [I love that movie]that girl that Ken Wahl is going to marry her father has about 3 or 4 brothers and they have that look with the shirts your talking about.All were big and smoking cigars,that was the ''look'' back then.

Wouldn't mind but it's not like he grew up during the technology explosion of the late nineties or early noughties. He's what 52?

Technically he did. He was in his 30's then and as I'm in my mid 30's I still play the ps3 but yet I bitch about rap music. I'll say the 30's you are kind of stuck between the younger group and the older group.

Skinny Joey has an instagram acct??!! Unbelievable. Gotta see it...what is his user name?

Great way of putting it, "stuck in between age groups" i know what ya mean lol

I know his instagram acct, and i dont know him, but i would still feel like a RAT giving it you lol so go find it yourself NO DISRESPECT

I know what it means to be stuck in between a rock and a hard place.

Well, considering that Joey made a PUBLIC Instagram account and posts pictures to it knowing that anyone in the world can view it, I wouldn't consider anyone a rat for giving out the link to his page. However, you have to have your own Instagram account and "follow" his account to be able to view any of his pictures. I don't have an account, so I haven't seen anything he has posted.

Yep I find myself now bitching about what the younger kids are doing yet I was a straight up and down hellian when I was their age. I'm getting over all that and find myself thinking "damn I'm getting old" yet I'm only 34

Yet there is still a lot I do that makes people think I'm actually younger than I am. When I look back on it, it seems a lot of 30 year olds do the same thing. I guess it's because we are just getting out of the 20's and craziness of our youth and into the older side of ourselves. Who knows

I'll be 55 next month.

You guys are whiny idiots .

pb ive only been on this site for two weeks, and I can see its for young guys. nevertheless I enjoy it. your just a youngster. im 72 and like your posting. you seem very credible to me.

as long as nicodemo can get his meth he'll probably be aight

No one knows, of course.

But where would your money be?
The odds of a young guy with a young family giving up his next 50yrs, his children for the PHILLY mob, and Joey?

Well, do you like those odds?

Binnie I'm an old timer as well, in my late sixties, and my oldest boy is 52 and my youngest child 36 an they are all tech efficient and they couldn't live without their smart phones, especially the oldest son that works with me, but my 12 year old Grandaughter is the most tech savvy I go to her for all the important stuff

Did you not read the end part of my post?

well, thanks guys, I don't feel so old now, as far as computers go I was born to late, been trying to get in my e mail for two days. a friend of mine reworked my browser and it was a mistake.

You took the words outta my mouth. They're not pink, they're 'Salmon' and I'm sure lotsa wise guys have worn them and still wear them. You guys are nuts!

... And Joey walks! He didn't even know Chang was there!

I live in Boca. Used to see Joey around once and a while.

I Just can't believe this stupid thing happed.

And the asshole Broward County cops.....They got nothing better to do than follow Joey around with all the crime that goes on there????

I was raised there (BC) moved there in 1971. It was a paradise, now its a shithole. Hookers, Oxys, H, crack heads and they are worried about Joey......ass clown cops.

Sal

He def made a huge mistake going out with the guys but I really don't think he'll be punished for it, especially if he has a legitimate business coming, but then again with his background he should know there's an eye on him 24/7 and them prosecutors got a real hard on for him, so def Dumb move.
But really his crew is strong, there all bringing him $ and him and his guys deserve it until some Young Turks like himself comes along and start shooting, other than that Phillys there's, he's well respected in a lot of cities especially New York and Chicago, so when he's officially free I bet he'll be everywhere!!
He earned the "respect" from all mob circles for the things he's did and got away with,,not from victims or people he's affected but def within the mob he's looked at with respect.

Welcome to the board all that, Joe .

But please, New York and Chicago?

New York and Chicago have their own problems without having to worry about what's going on down at the Jersey Shore and in South Philly. No one outside of that area cares about who's emptying Joker Poker machines and shaking down parking lot attendants at the Borgata. Trust me on that.


And I wish Joey luck. But if he's "everywhere" when his supervised release is over, he'll eventually end up back in jail. Guaran-fucking-teed.
