heard joey was hanging out with meek mill. Makes sense, they both from philly. Wonder if nikki hanging with joey too

While posters on this site is worried about phil narducci, merlino is worried about his next photo op...like a boss!

I cannot imagine in a million years that Merlino is calling any shots. Now, could he have some sort of minimal advisory roll? Maybe, but what kind of advice could he possibly give???
He is living a good life from what i can see and has plenty of fans willing to pay all his tabs. He isnt stupid and he knows the FBI are dying to put him away for life. The FBI hates when the public embraces a criminal. Thats one of the main reasons they were so relentless with john gotti.

I believe he's the shot caller, he wants to show the government that he's smarter than them...if he said he retired in jail before you can charge him with anything you have to have concrete evidence that he's still active and all his lawyer have to say is "joey is doing all of this from florida"? Merlino is smarter then what people give him credit for

I actually agree I believe Merlino to be much smarter than people give him credit for. Not saying this guy is curing cancer or anything, but I think he's quite street smart. I think the whole "celebrity" thing in the 90s was him building a sort of brand for himself almost so he can easily work old guys like old star struck wannabes in FL. He probably figured hey I'm gonna do some time eventually anyways, but I think now that he has his "brand equity" and served his time that's why you're seeing a much less media friendly and less in your face Merlino & Crew (relatively speaking compared to 90s). And incidentally, he is hooked into Meek Mill and that whole deal and had his young guys and daughters at the concert backstage in Miami. Not sure what kind of influence or even any financial inroads he has with that whole scene anymore, but the connection and relationship is definitely there. Remember he got RAM Squad a record deal with Universal. Just some food for thought... Maybe I'm giving Merlino way too much credit here, but it sort of makes sense if you look at the big picture in terms of how he operates.

Merlino should go into the music biz,what a racket that is

If he is then he'll do as Belmont says.

Stay retired in Florida and let fan boys pick up his cheques and the FBI waste their time taking his portrait.

Well if he is retired I hope he saves money. Because how long can he keep having his expenses being paid a lot for by "fan boys"? I really have a hard time thinking in 10 - 20 yrs if he is free there are going to be enough rich guys around who want to spend money on him.

Same could be said 15yrs ago before he went away, that no one would pick up his tab in a decade. And clearly they are.

10 pages long of "joey's in town???"

I saw this thread other week and would have thought it died a long death- just goes to show the fascination with "Joey"

Be honest, how many of u have saved up/ are saving up to go eat at Merlino's....

Joey merlino deserves 10 pages maybe even 20,without merlino this would be a very boring site.merlino is the longest reigning god father of any family thats currently serving in america and thats saying something, through all of th prison sentences the philly family has received and thier still standing, other families went defunct from fbi pressure. I never bought into if merlino show his face in philliy the scarfo guys is going to kill him, merlino goes anywhere he wants with no bodyguards, that tells you how much he is scared of these scarfo guys, you don't get to be a boss for 20+ years by being a punk.i also don't buy the story that mazzone is the only guy narducci gives money to because he can't stand marlino, thats hog wash, mazzone was right buy merlino side when the scarfo guys got overthrown years ago, so if you hate merlino why not hate mazzone? And your going to tell me when they give mazzone money they don't know he's kicking up to merlino??? C'mon...they got out of jail and they fell in line like all of the other scarfo guys will do when they get out, if they really wanted trouble they would tell merlino, mazzone and the whole crew to go fuck themselves and keep the money for themselves

I agree bigfella. People on this site don't give him anuff credit. I mean he's not big union but them days are probaly over in philly. Just read some philly union boss got 19 yrs on Rico that's life. Merlino keeps winning and is a mean s.o.b. like I read his dad was a legend in philly. If he made Chang sr his underboss basically thats last word when joey not around whose gonna go against that. and when he's in Florida he keeps mazzone a known killer acting boss smart play.

I give merlino a lot of credit for being cautious around nicky skins... others fell for it...

When he started collecting the elbow in 88, did he have his dad's ok?

Merlino fan boys at it again

Sorry Tommy but you can keep trolling if you like. Everything the big fella said is true. Besides that there is clearly a resurgence out here.they are loaning the whole world money for 2-3pts a week. If they were a bunch of bums and brokesters like you claim they would be killing each other. Wether you wanna face facts or not Joey Merlino is the boss and business is.booming. If you just simply refuse to believe that it's ok just be a man and admit it.

got some new pics.. also have pics that have merlino and johnny chang and i think its either from the night Joey got violated for seeing chang cause its from last summer some time..

These pictures are from last summer. not sure if it was the night Merlino violated parole or another night. Chang and merlino arent in the pics together but if i was joey i wouldnt of been taking pictures that night!

Merlino looks old as shit! Who is the unknown in the pictures?

Skinny Joey with Meek Mills backstage last week in Miami

Phil Narducci on right with his nephew Frankie Narducci

Never once have I said Merlino isn't boss, nice try though. They only have a handful of genuine earners on the street, that's pretty much factual, the guys in admin/capo positions are eating, most of the rest aren't.

You're a known Merlino fan boy and liar, good luck with that, sad individual.

Great photo's HS, been wondering where you've been. Narducci is a big dude. Joey posing with an unhappy Meek Mill lol

Thanks Tommy. i got a few more you guys would probably like that im about to post... Ive been around and reading threads from time to time but theyre hasnt been anything really interesting going on besides people bashing each other or talking bullshit so i havent been posting ya know?
