I've always been curious about this guy as well so I'm glad you posted this. I haven't been able to find out a lot on this guy outside the fact that he was always around Merlino in the 90s and was convicted as part of the stolen property theft ring. He did his bid and got in the mid-2000s and haven't heard anything about him since, which is interesting. He also appears to have been Merlino's bodyguard being that he was always right behind him in a lot of pictures. Some people claim he is made and others just say he's an associate. We had a recent discussion about him a few months ago and some people claim to have seen him hanging around in S. Philly with the likes of Anthony Borgesi and those guys. Not sure if Ligambi made him when he got out of jail or if sort of removed himself from active involvement after his jail term. One thing is for sure, that in the 90s he was definitely active in a number of the Merlino rackets and appeared to be a bodyguard and enforcer/collector (caught on tape threatening loan shark borrower). I know he also lived on the same block as Merlino's mother so I assume he was a close friend of Joey's who was part of the gang during his rise to the top. I've got to wonder if he reemerges once Merlino is off probation and/or when Merlino's guys begin to become more active and back on the streets since that's the group he hung with back in the 90s.

Also, to answer your question, he was not busted in the Borgata gambling ring in 2008...

Phl_mob I was one of the ones who you probably heard mention him hanging around Borgesi's brother Anthony and his crew, this was once at a festival on Passyunk a few years back. He was Merlino's shadow back in their heyday so perhaps he relocated down Florida with him recently. I haven't seen him in South Philly other than that one time. I don't know if he's made or not but I woukd asume if he was considering he did his time for them that his name would come up more often since. I think he falls into the line with the Wagner brothers as childhood friends of Merlino that reaped the benifits of that.

Yup it must have been you b/c I remember the festival being the location of the sighting. And i definitely agree with the Wagner comment. As a matter of fact, Ray Wags reminds me of Anthony Accardo back in the 90s. Wags is just the new version of Accardo... Could be that Accardo can't hang with Merlino or assume his old "duties" because of the Merlino's parole conditions barring him from being around known felons, which Accardo obviously is. Which once again makes me wonder whether we will see him again know Merlino gets out in April? Anyone else have any info on this guy that we haven't mentioned yet? Also while we are on the subject, what's the deal with Michael Angelina? I know he's Marty's brother but why is he listed as a Made Member on a lot of charts? He doesn't seem involved to me, but I have nothing to back that up with except that he just looks like a legit realtor. Two other guys I am curious about from the 90s/Merlino Crew are Steven Sharkey and Steve 'Snitch' Frangipani... Any background or info on them and what they're up to present day as well as their current status/involvement within the organization. Finally, I find Phil Narducci to be the most fascinating guy right now in Philly. Can anyone tell me about where/what he's doing involved and who he has been seen with or has working under him? Did he really get into a rift with his nephews Joe and Frank Baldino? What did Johnny Chang do to piss him off? Any info at all on Phil N. would be appreciated as well!

You might be right about Accardo not able to be around Merlino due to his parole and perhaps the same applies with George Borgesi since I haven't seen him around since George been on the street. I don't know much about Sharky or Fragpiani but I would assume since they were in that Borgata pinch they are affiliated with the Narducci crew since his nephews were in on that as well. I haven't heard of a fallout between Narducci and the Baldino nephews, I don't think it would be wise for Phil, he is far outnumbered on the street compared to the Merlino era crew here.

Wasn't the Borgati ring affiliated more with Ligambi/Merlino organization as opposed to Phil Narducci? I know Phil was still in jail at the time of the Borgata bust, but maybe he was organizing it from jail? I know Nicodemo was the point person in that whole deal and he's definitely a Merlino/Ligambi guy so I'm thinking that was more their deal than anyone else's. Then again, it came out that Phil Narducci was writing letters/in communication with Andrew Micali who was one of the main guys in that Borgata ring so maybe he was actually involved as well. Could it have been joint involvement? By that I mean is it possible that Narducci has been working alongside Ligambi/Merlino all along being that Micali was in contact with both Merlino AND Narducci?

My sons and daughter know the Baldinos and the vast majority of kids that got busted (or never got hit or named) in the Borgata ring. From what my understanding it was Micali's baby from the start being he was a big poker player nationally and had this going from the Borgata's inception in 2004.

shares the same famous last name as the Chicago boss, batters. pretty boring 2015 sofar for all the families in the north east. I think the minute merlino gets out he'll be all over the map. up nyc all around philly jersey but based in florida. he probably jump in some guys privit jet and be lost.

before posters kill me about nyc, im sure he must have made a few friends in his 15 yr bid. not talking other bosses probably some low Colombo soldier or something, maybe a boss who knows. think big cheese in boston just got out surprised that hasn't been posted.

Stop by Phillips Steaks on Passyunk and ask whoever's behind the window. It's a whole new world nowadays, people are friendly.

Hah I don't think I want to know that badly... But yeah I definitely think it was Micali's deal working in tandem with that bookie Jack Buscemi. But my point is he was clearly kicking up to the Ligambi org via Anthony Nicodemo which came out in the wiretaps between Micali and Nicodemo where he tells Micali to "tone it down" etc... It also came out that Joey Merlino and Phil Narducci were both writing letters to Micali from prison during all of this but what about never came out as far as I could tell. According to one of Scott Burnstein's recent articles he mentioned that Narducci had setup shop at Club Encore in old City which is the club owned by Frank and Joe Baldino and then until recently stopped because of some sort of rift he got into with his nephews (Frank and Joe). Not much info on these kids but sounds like they're involved to some extent. The same article states that Narducci is at odds with Johnny Chang b/c John Chang sat down with Phil to stick up for Micali and his nephews over what I could only assume was something to do with the Borgata ring which was operating at the time. Phil Narducci's issue with Chang stems from this supposedly according to the same article by Scott.

Always wondered about Accardo too. Definitely seemed to be in Merlino's inner circle and did a 3 year bid for his services. Sharkey is a drunk who has gotten a bunch of DUI's and was wanted for awhile years ago. Seemed like a real mess. He's a Delco guy so maybe he fell in with Borgesi? Frangipani SP?, is another name I haven't heard much about. Another guy about Merlino's age who seemed to be part of his inner-circle.

thanks for the response phl, I would be interested to know as well what hes up to now, if he is in fact in S Florida hanging "near" Joey since he cant currently be seen with him until hes released in May.

Anyone have any indication if hes not with Joey, who he would be reporting to? Johnny Chang or Lancelloti?

just cuz I always ask about him and not much is known about him, anyone know Is Michael Lancelloti alligned with Mazzone and Merlino faction? I would assume so, but also wondered whats his relationship like with the other capos mainyl narducci and how he fits in with Chickie and johnny chang?

Lance is a Merlino guy 100%. Had him on surveillance meeting Johnny Chang at his lottery stand when that Philly news reporter was stalking him lol

I keep hearing about Narducci being a captain but what makes people so sure he is? No doubt he's claiming capo status but it's probably unofficial unless they gave him Borgesi's crew. Philly only have 4 crews, 2 in S Philly, North & South Jersey. People say Phil has formed his own crew, his brother frank, the Pungitore brothers, Milano, Scafidi (Pungitore's are both legit in real estate apparently) I doubt Joey Punge would settle for soldier if he was still involved, he was about to be made capo before he got sent down. Milano was shelved by Ligambi, Scafidi went to Florida. it just doesn't add up for me, I think mob enthusiasts are just hearing what they want to hear.

Tommy- really mikey lance was caught on that piece by FoxPhilly where Schratweiser confronted johnny chang? I loved seeing that piece Chang looked like he wanted to curb stomp Dave who kept pressing him for an answer, lol

I was just going off of what has been written about Narducci being a skipper. If you don't think he is tommy which you may be right, then who would you say is leading Pung brothers, scafidi, milano, frank etc?

Yeah, you see him on the surveillance tape greeting Chang if I remember right.

I'm not saying Narducci isn't a skipper definitively, I just have my doubts as to weather it's official. According to anyone who knows anything about Philly though he's a stone gangster.

Like I said, I heard Punge bro's are not involved, their living the good life off real estate apparently. Ligambi shelved Milano, Scafidi went to Florida after he was released. Only one who is defo with Phil is his brother Frank.

Then again my opinion is worth little on Philly mate.

Is scafidi still connected in s florida? I wonder if hes involved w merlino at all? At joeys parole violation hearing they said the cops have on going surveillance and investigations that merlino has shown up on so maybe scafidi is down there makin moves for joey as part of a s philly florida crew? Just speculation oncmy part but i believe at least 2 or 3 of the ny families have florida crews still active but that may not be the case im sure someone who knows ny can speak to that more accurately than me. But maybe philly is finally setting up a fla crew of their own?

Hey tommy im from philly area and i admit i dont know much so your opinion is perfectly legit

Gambino's are the strongest NY family in Florida and have 2 crews down there, a lot of old timers from different families down there and have interests but don't know if they have crews in FLA.

We'd have heard about Scafidi meeting with Merlino in the recent indictment if that was the case, I don't think he's involved.

Mate, there's Philly posters on here that know a thousand times as much as me on this subject and will probably correct me on a few things.

Right i get ur point that scafidi pry wasnt meetin w merlino directly since he couldnt but im just speculating that hey if hes down there and still makin moves cuz wtf else is he gonna do he aint too bright if i remember right maybe hes makin moves under joeys flag funneling money to him through That Stein guy. Just guessing like i said but im interested to knoe what active investigations they have goin on w joey like they said whileca made guy loyal to him and a member or the fam is in fla too .. Somethin may be up but like i said total speculation.

Thanks for the info tommy, i was gonna say gambinos had fla members for sure and i think jerry chili has or had a bonnano crew there for a long time. Idk if thats still true im sure a more knowledgable ny poster can set that straight

There were one or two Mob Talks he did in which he's talking about Phil Narducci and what he came home to and what he's been doing. And according to sources, Narducci didn't necessarily make his own crew, he took what he had left and aligned himself with the 10th & O crew. Supposedly only one of the Pungitore brothers are still involved in "the life". Don't know anything about the others.

Well to answer your question on Phil Narducci, Tommy.... According to GA's latest article, he is claiming there is a 3-man ruling panel of street bosses consisting of Steve Mazzone, Johnny Chang and Phil Narducci...
