It's my curiosity, but the Philadelphia Mafia doesnt have enough of Joseph Merlino? After the reign of violent Scarfo was passed to the John Gotti of Philly and only after he was convicted of drug trafficking in 2001 with Ligambi the family has recovered after 20 years of murders and riots.
Since the Gambinos got rid of Gottis, I wonder if Merlino when he gets out, will be again the boss or will chosen someone like Ligambi to reports the family to its former glory?

Good point Furio.

Personally I dont think Merlino is the boss, contrary to general consensus. I dont think he, the organisation, anyone, is that stupid. The organisation would be insane to keep him. He'd be insane to keep the title.

The only rational theory is that he's trading off the perception of the title in Florida and Philly are happy to have him falsely in the spotlight and the Feds sitting in cars in Miami heat all Summer and not in South Philly.

Otherwise he and Philly, are fucked.

But thats just an opinion.


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.

Ligambi stabilised Philly, I agree, but Philly, IMO, is all chiefs, no Indians.


And no need for all the Philly fans to jump on this post. Its just an opinion.

I wonder how many guys there are walking around in Philly wearing Flyers jerseys with Merlino on the back.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

Well if he isn't the boss. Then that's the best thing for the Philly hierarchy to stay hidden and have the Feds believe he is.
But sooner or later it all comes out.

I believe Gigante is still the master at hiding his role.

I swear on my life I know someone who has a hoodie that says "team Joey Merlino" on the back of it... And he wears it out in public.. And this is in NE Philly... Philly is known for soft pretzels,cheesesteaks,scrapple and the ultimate mafia fanboys!!

I love scrapple. Grew up eating it every weekend. I'm a little upset I'm moving to Florida next month so it will be hard not having it lol. P
