This made me laugh. Dom you must have a job or something, right? I mean everyone else was at the courthouse.

What can you say if you asked each and everyone of us if we would rather be home or in prison I guess its safe to assume that 100% of us would say home.so I guess this is the Feds way of making him feel a tad bit uncomfortable for 4 months.Whether he can do it standing on his head or not its the only thing the Feds have left is to try to make his life uncomfortable.

That is what I was thinking exactly, the feds superceded the state...thanks bin laden

Wagner is acting like a bodyguard...who was other dude with him

When was he sentenced there's been enoughed rehashed bolshit articles about eddie jacobs and joey spooning n his bogus defense...when was he sentenced earlier today 10.24?

Amen Jose... JOSE 2015 Tough On Taxes easy on the wiseguys

Touche to Fox29 and Skinny.

I think Skinny Joey will be out by the time Nicodemo will get another trial but I agree PB this is why they are trying to put the screws to him (well he deserved something for being that stupid).

Like you have said, Nicodemo might not flip but he might as well. Expect the feds to REALLY ratchet up the pressure on him now that they will have Joey locked up. This also could have been concocted by Nicodemo's lawyer/s that they had info so the Feds moved on it already.

Who knows. Still going to be interesting!

The guy whose opinion I respect the most on that town tells me that he doesn't think Nicodemo will flip. And even if he did, that they'd have to flip Canalichio as well.

It's like I've said all along: I never claimed that this kid was going to flip. I just had the feeling that this was the Feds' plan all along. Because I realize that our government throws money away every day, but they have to have an end game here. They can't be that fucking bored that they're blowing all this time and money on a violation---an interstate violation, no less---to give this guy four months in jail.

It could work out for Merlino, though (short term, anyway). If they fail to flip those guys---and like I said, a good friend of mine from down there doesn't think they will---then Joey comes out with his restrictions removed. But they'll still never give the poor fuck any peace.

Totally agree. Now is the time to expect the flip IF Nicodemo flips at all. For all we know dude will take it on the chin and not say a word.

Ha ha must have been pal

Anything new on the Joey's sentence, does he have do the four months in the pokey or halfway house, and does he have to do more supervised release after. So according to the report yesterday in addition to Nicodemo, Joey now has to worry about the two Methadone peddlers giving him up. Never a dull moment.

RE: Dave S

He tweeted out what? That Alberti was one of the guys that wanted to hit everyone and take over Philly with Pete caprio? Cool knew that in 2000

He also tweeted out the Feds have been watching him since his release. Again old news

Get off his dick. He's the only one reporting mob news so no matter what u guys will watch.

He ran up on Johnny Chang at a newsstand for crying out loud.

Joey's Mother gave the feds an earful and Jacob's called Ciancaglini's wife as a witness. No supervised release after the four months. Here is the latest:

I missed out again! I'd take a bullet for the prince of Passyunk Ave. Hire me for protecting!

Ha ha , yeah cheech I was working wen the news broke ha

Day late and a Euro short.

See what I did there?

I respect ur thoughts.Careful what u believe in via messenger boards n online chatte,tho. IE:BigTrial.net comment section n here.

Seriously, how can you not like Merlino?

lol guy is hilarious

and has millionaires buying him restaurants, paying for 5 star hotels and flying in private jets

hahahaha@Joey telling Dave S.

"Come on down I'll buy you dinner"

Not really dumb, not like they would let off on him if he said nothing or complimented the feds.

They are on him for life regardless, might as well be light about it

True enough. He'll never have any peace.

nope, and you gotta admit he took it on the chin no matter how mad he might be on the inside

you would never know it

and to have a millionaire come to explain his income is pretty significant

Dude that's hilarious I think the same if this guy, he's nuts and very likeable, and I'm not saying that's good for being a gangster, but he wants to and is the face of Celeb Gangster for the 2000+ era..

My theory on the Nicodemo trial. He doesn't flip and beats the murder charges. Keep the martini glasses chilled, fellas .

I'll give you 5/1 odds there's no way Nicodemo beats trial with his joke of a defense.

You got it Mr. Vegas. I want a baker's dozen of cannoli's delivered to my door when he beats it. Maybe you can write everyone here an apology letter as well .

Some more on the hearing,the ongoing investigation and Stein who is bank rolling Joey's restaurant and lifestyle.
