I've heard for several years that al lance jr has his button. He lives somewhere in south jersey but don't know who's crew he's in or whatever but I would put money on it that he's made.. As for merlinos daughters the older one does go to Villanova. The younger one is still in high school . And yes they both drive very nice cars for their age. Older drives a Porsche Cayenne and the other drives a Mercedes .. Been saying it forever people saying Philly isn't making any money but obviously merlino isn't hurting for money . He's getting his piece of the pie that's for damn sure .

I have no doubt the kid is made .

Skinny and his blood family are living very good . The property's he lives in and the cars they drive and his traveling is of a man that is easy making close if not a million a year .

I am not counting the restaurant and or the two or more homes they are living in and let's not forget he has a place here all summer .

Someone go out and try to live like he is and tell me it's not costing a mil a year . This is not counting security they do not travel or lodge for free they also need vehicles food and clothes . He is doing well and IRS has not came knocking yet .

The guys at the top are doing good but I have not seen any made guys doing good or great other then the ones the had it befor or are in the top ten in the family .

If we start seeing the bottom made guys living large then you know what mayo face is saying may be true.

Fully agree serp. He is made for sure and people always argue with me and say he is not.. He's around all the top guys all the time and his uncle is Mikey lance..

Yes merlino and his family are living very very well.. As for the cars he is driving I know they're obviously rented probably or maybe leased but I've seen him in ferraris, rolls Royce and even a fucking buggati veyron..

Who's crew is Dom grande in? I see him constantly in pics and stuff hanging with Steve Mazzone constantly.. I know he is related to the mazzones so maybe that's why he is always around Stevie .. But I dunno . As a soldier Dom seems to be doing pretty ok money wise also. I don't know specifics but from what I've seen he's not barely earning or getting scraps.. He seems especially as of lately that he has got more involved in rackets and taken on a bigger role...

Grande was already into the real estate for a while being partners with Nicodemo

Probably manages Nicodemos shares of real estate now that he is locked up

Al Lancellotti Jr is known as "Al Cat" and is VERY close to Merlino since the 1990s. He actually lives in Delaware, not South Jersey

Thought you were retarded?





Oh wait, you are.

BING! POW! BOOM! *BADUMTISH*

Yeah Dante I've heard about the Delaware shit but honestly I just thought he was visiting there or on vacation or some shit. I thought it was too random that he actually lived in Delaware .. That's kind of far away from the action? No? That's the only reason why I figured he was still put in south jersey.. Yeah al cat for a younger guy seems to be very well like by merlino and everyone... You think he's got anything going on in Delaware or just a nice suburban place for his family and kid to live?

Delaware is a really quick drive on I95 to South Philly, hes probably a commuting gangster to South Philly. Borgesi lives out in King of Prussia now and commutes into South Philly daily.

Here in the Northeast, most people commute 30 minutes to an hour and a half to their jobs due to how expensive it is to live here, if you want a decent place for your kids you have to move out were the housing is more affordable and the schools are better. It sucks, but is reality....

Grande is with Mikey Lance.

Yeah honestly I can't blame them i would move out of south philly too and just commute .. Way Better.. Also does anyone know the deal with Nicky volpe? He was involved in a few coke busts and supposedly was really close with merlino .. I don't know if he's a player or associated still but he runs a construction company and seems like he's making good money he drives a fucking lambo.. Just haven't heard him mentioned at all besides back in the day them saying he was really close with merlino

Weird grande is with Mikey lance but you honestly never see him with him.. That's why I was wondering what crew he was in cause he's always with Mazzone

wasnt Al an actual Real Estate Agent as well? or am i thinking of someone else?

yeah weird about Delaware, but true only like 20 mins to Wilmington from here, south philly guy in Delaware would stick out like a sore thumb haahaa

Michael Angelina is a real estate agent

The only retard is you, now go and troll elsewhere instead of trying to spoil a decent thread..

Careful British, Moe might just do that, then he would ruin my knitting techniques group board.

But NY respects Ligambi right? And traditionally, THEY picked the Philly boss...
How would Ligambi having the backing of NY affect the power landscape? Maybe that, plus Merlino being Florida based now, explains the " former boss" thing...

Maybe all he does is run his restaurant? Does he have a big crew down there? Also, it being a Philly news special, they probably don't have the resources to follow him around Florida...

@ Sinatra @ Ivey
See, this is what I meant about the double standard thing. We watched the news, the philly police say it's four factions, and some guys are saying no. I can't help but notice, that the only reason one would argue this, is if they think Merlino is the undisputed boss' and this contradicts that... That irks me a little...

@ Sinatra
On the question of Ligambi denying the Merlino guys, to me it shows
1. Ligambi started out working for Joey, but once he got NYs respect, he likely Went up a notch....
2. Ligambi could have been smart enough to realize making these guys would have basically marginalized his own power.

Merlino and Ligambi are in the same crew. Narducci is the only one that is pretty much on the outs with the Philly Administration. I said that Narducci's nephew was made, and I thought it was his brother Windows son, but it turned out to be his sisters son Joe jr. Al Lancellotti jr, has to be made, if not then he has a lot of pull for being an associate, but he is close to Merlino which should tell you something.

handsome stevie has ppsted several pictures of them together (Grande & Lance) Most of the pics were Grande with Al lance not long back, Isn't Grande related to Mazzone? That's probably why

I don't believe this to be the case, I've stated my reasons why numerous times, so I won't go into it again. Again, I highly doubt Shratenweiser, or "mayo face" as you guys like to call him, pulled all of this information out of his ass.

And another thing is how people are looking at the word "crew". Merlino has his, which consists of Mazzone, his brother, and guys who came up with them, playing on street corners. Ligambi, I think is still the boss, and simply has George Borgesi and a few others as his link to the Merlino guys and the others (Pung & Narducci). He shows up at annual parties and functions, but other than that, you don't really hear much or see Ligambi out with Mazzone or Merlino all that much these days. When guys were going down to meet Joey in Florida, Ligambi was never mentioned as being one of them. When Joey was coming to Philly for the funeral of his father and New Years, not this past, but the one last year, we didn't hear much about Ligambi being around then either. I personally believe Ligambi is more behind the scenes, not to be some Darth Sidious like mob boss pulling all the strings, but because he prefers it that way. He doesn't need a big crew, but I think he is still separate from the Merlino/Mazzone camp and uses his nephew to facilitate his judgements.

One thing people forget to mention is the fact that Ligambi seems to have strong connections in North Jersey and New York. He is liked across the board. He may very well be the boss in Philly. We'll see.

Ya grande and Mazzone are related

Wasn't Ligambi in jail at the time of Joey's father's funeral?

Yes.

Also remember what Scott said in his last report:

"Per sources, Ligambi was asked by Joey Merlino to come out of a self-imposed semi-retirement around the time his nephew, former consigliere George (Georgie Boy) Borgesi, got off parole in July, in an attempt by Skinny Joey to “maintenance” Borgesi, finally out of prison for the first time since 2000 last year and eager to “reestablish himself in the mob and settle old scores,” – first and foremost related to an intense beef with childhood pal and co-defendant Marty Angelina."

We've seen recent photos and video of Ligambi/Merlino, Ligambi/Borgesi, Mazzone/Borgesi together so I if they had any beef, they seem to be working it out. Aside from Narducci, the only other big dispute seems to be Borgesi being on the outs with Angelina and Merlino.

This is all speculation of course, but it's the most logical estimation IMHO.

Yeah I was gonna say Sinatra, Uncle Joe was in prison and/or on trial at the time of Chuckie Merlino's funeral and much of the time Joey had people visiting him in Florida. Plus Joey couldn't have him visiting him until recently when he got off his parole violations as a meeting between the two would've been a violation for Joey. It wasn't until recently that Joey was able to meet with Uncle Joe.

Also, without going into a great amount of detail, I find it interesting that people are so skeptical about Uncle Joe and Joey Merlino being one in the same "faction" or "crew". Borgesi said in prison that his Uncle (Ligambi) was simply warming the seat for them while they're away and he would have to step aside when they returned. With Joey being away in Florida and still needing a type of street boss, it makes sense that they would continue to utilize Uncle Joe for the simple sake of seamless continuity. However, he is still reporting to, loyal to, kicking up to, and in the same faction as Joey. I wouldn't by any means put the two men in two separate factions or categories...
