Philly Phanboys.

You were number two, Buffalo was number one. Buffalo lost it—turned in his wings.

You guys are number one.


MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack.
CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go.
MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.
WILL: So don't go.

And only a marginally succesful street gang at that. He kissed the ass of black heroin dealers and appalachian biker sociopaths.

Not to get off subject here... But just a thought I had while reading some parts of the thread. I agree with whomever stated that there was a natural interest for the Genovese to back Merlino. They would have backed the corner guy selling hot dogs if it was trying to shift power in its favor and away from the Gambinos. But more importantly, we have all been discussing how Chickie Chang Sr, Chuckie Merlino, etc were backing the Merlino faction from prison (I think that was the general consensus despite some contradiction from some sources). Where I am going with this is since the high ranking Scarfo guys seemed to be closest with the Genovese then they probably had connections with these guys even from jail. I think it's a strong possibility that the Scarfo guys (ex-Nicky) reached out to the Genovese guys and did some back room/cell politicking essentially striking the same deal that nicky made in '81 except using the Merlino crew as a proxy.

Also, in my opinion, I'd agree that it's all relative. LCN doesn't control all the crime in the city as much as it may have in the 50s-80s, and of course Merlino was not as powerful as the NY families / bosses - it's all relative. I don't think NYC fams control all the crime in the boroughs let alone as much as they may have back in the day and furthermore, probably don't wield as much power as they once did. My point is both families have experienced decimation to LE and progression of society and other sophisticated criminal groups etc etc. The point being is that the scale of NYC makes their families bigger and more powerful. Even at Philly's height NYC was that much more powerful because of the scale. Big picture here. As a side note, I give Merlino props for being innovative. He's adapting and evolving with the times/LE. He has single handily gone against the stat quo and changed the structure of how LCN operates (in Philly). If Joey came back to philly there would be too much heat and everyone would go down with him. Through various proxies and acting bosses and fronts he has made the Philly family a complete mystery. We have no idea what they do outside gambling and shy let alone who does what. We or the Feds can't even figure out who the actual boss is for sure let alone the admin and capos. I'd say that's what LCN is supposed to be - a secret criminal org. One thing is clear, everyone that we thing is involved seems to be living pretty comfortably so take that for what it's worth...

that's what they do plus some dope and minor protection scams

their last big thing is having mob groupies fronting money for them apparently

the word "secret" is the very last word I'd associate with Merlino...along with "organization"

My point is no one can confidently say what the admin or structure of the family is currently let alone in the last trial. That being said I don't think we know all the scams. Haha that's funny about the old man scam I'll give ya that.

It's clear who the top guys on the street are though, Mazzone, Chang, Merlino, Lance, Ligambi if he hasn't retired, a lot of talk about Narducci but who knows what's going on with him.

I posted this on another thread about merlino's dad, but whether he was powerful or not you have to give it to him and most of the neighborhood guys from S Philly and their loyalty to that neighborhood and to one another...THEY DO NOT RAT....the rats are not from the neighborhood and that has alot to say about growing up around passyunk and the family bond that has stayed intact forever

I appreciate it, 22. But let it go. The kid is a troll, and something tells me that if he keeps it up that he won't be here much longer. Call it a hunch wink.

C'mon cornball. Enough is enough. Take joeys cock out of your mouth for one second. You believe the hype. And that's all this is. You believe that "judge did me a favor" line "get my six pack back?" That's bullshit. The guys dying on the inside. Notice he's fighting turning himself?

And enough of the tough guy spiel. Shooting someone doesn't make you tough. Especially while they are ambushed and caught off guard. It was a savvy play no doubt but not "tough". All reports indicate he is a moocher. And that's the last thing besides rat I would want to be called. I go out and get mine. Daily. I don't mooch off of others. It's a gross and disgusting thing. You and the other Philly fan boys have this weird crush on this guy. Living your wanna be gangster life vicariously thru this caricature of a mob boss is sad.



Another pathetic poster!!!
