Good question. Probably just a old man with money who's living out his fantasy of being "involved in the life". Or maybe he enjoys having someone spend his money.

Probably just infatuated with the lifestyle.. Sounds like a huge tool to me. If you have excess income, giving it to Joey Merlino is one of the worst things you could possibly do.

It's his money...he can do whatever he pleases with it regardless of how stupid we think it is.

so you could say the IRS investigation into barry Weinberg took down the entire Bonanno family hierarchy


I recently finished a book on Massino...I dont recall those two names being the start of the investigation into Merlino though...it was another guy that he had depositing money for him or laundering or something...and that led them into Massino...but the point of getting the guy was to get Merlino..I dont recall it being these two other guys then they went after Merlino

They brought those two forensic accountants on specifically to target Massino since he was too smart with his counter surveliance

There's a lot of wealthy guys who are obsessed with mob guys and many of them act like groupies around them. Even here in L.A., there's a ton of these old rich guys who've seen The Godfather one too many times. Isgro has a lot of those idiots around him. I believe Nicholson is one of them.

When it's obviously the proceeds of crime that's a stupid thing to say.

18yr old girls driving Porsches paid for in money their father either stole or extorted and you're fine with that? You're Switzerland suddenly on his daughters $150k cars?

No ones blaming the daughters but to claim that's above reproach reflects poorly upon yourself.

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.

These guys had nothing to with merlino i was talking about Massimo


Feds brought in two forensic accountants took look into money laundering in the Bonanno famil because the FBI were struggling and did not know how to make a case against massimo. They noticed Vitale and Cantarella were partners in several parking lots owned by Barry Weinberg so barry was put under surveillance.Weinberg hadn't filed tax returns in over a decade not paying $1 million in taxes feds told him he was going to prison if he did not flip. He flipped. Then Augustino Scozzari flipped after feds found he was laundering richie cantellas money through the restaurant.

The tapes Scozzari and Weinberg made on richie cantella and frank coppa buried them which led them to flip.


Not connected with scott or anyone at gangsterreport

Sorry for the confusion

I know that...I accidentally typed Merlino instead of fat rat Massino...

Maybe it was Weinberg I cant recall...But in your other post you made it seem like they stumbled into Massino rather than the feds following his money to get him because all other efforts were exhausted

Anyway,,, back to the other Joey

The suave, smooth talking, ridiculously handsome...oh and did I mention suave? Joey Merlino!

lol
