The funny part about it is that it was an genovese guy that bought the heat and not merlino. Who care's if barney had a sit down with skinny, what's more important is business. I have a question for the merlino distravtors...how much of that 157 million dollars from that bogus cream did merlino pocket???

I thought the question was more of a hypothetical one.... I don't think you guys really need to argue about it. I think actually everybody made some good points both ways.....


Smart money says Bellomo has never seen the guy, but to say it's IMPOSSIBLE that they would ever meet?


I would have to ask the question, What would they meet about? Just going off how the Genovese operated under Chin, probably not for some racket. This one was 9 figures, and he only dealt with Parello, a capo right? Like this is the type of stuff Chin let capos handle. Last time he didn't, it was the rat Savino and his 9 figure Windows racket. So I'm guessing they probably learned their lesson.

I woulda thought it ridiculous ANY wise guy from NY would take em serious after Natale, but Ligambi seemed to have repaired a lot of that lost respect.

Like him or not' Joey is respected on the Philly streets, so if you wanna do business with Philly, you gotta deal with him, I guess....Like Caramandi said, the power of the mob is the gun, and people know Joey will shoot.

Here is a thought, the Genovese dealt with Merlino so as to keep any potential revenue from Philly from going into the Gambino coffers. The Gambinos and Genovese have fought a cold-proxy war for Philly for a LONG time now.....

Yep, a very long time..

They fight their 'cold war' through these smaller families like the DeCavalcantes and Philly. Just like the US and the Soviet-Union did with Vietnam and Afghanistan respectively.

I am in no way saying that I am Joeys friend or that I know any more about him other than seeing him around , and having a few small talk conversations with him. Also , he did buy me a beer once (I should have saved his empty, and put it up on ebay, huh??)

All I can say is it "looks" like Joey likes to show off. And thats what Gotti did and look where it got him.....

BTW- I've seen Joey in the Bentley, a couple of different Ferarri's, a Masarati and a really tricked out Caddy SUV. Even Gotti just drove his benz, right?

and the odtimers drove cadilacs,, which was luxury cars in their day

i feel sorry for any woman who encounters him. his dinner dates probably start with a lecture about morality and how the oj simpson verdict affected him.

Dilorenzo..and ryan
Where is my man love for merlino.?can u or anyone find one post that suggests that? And where do I say or suggest that they met, nowhere..The man love here is you two dopes on Barney, I'm being generic, telling u Barney would meet joey, scarfo or fuckin hitler if there were enough money on the table...u think Barney is afraid of heat?now who's smoking crack?u think he sits home and plays with his cock talking to his family..other than what u both read, please give me some street items u know about Barney..smart, why is he smart Ryan? Explain why...rooster won't sit at the table is strategic, u fuckin moron, it has nothing to do with him being flashy, Jesus they offered joey less time than he, sure, rooster is afraid cuz joeys rolex will be.bigger.get a fuckin clue guys

Thanks for posting that.


Heard Joey flew back home this weekend.

For sure! I'm just surprised it was posted on Reddit before it was posted here.

Narducci kissing ligambi on the cheek...I think whatever beef those guys had with merlino has been put to rest, I'm sure merlino spoke to narducci face to face a few times in my opinion...those guys have been wrong a lot!

That was Lancelotti with Ligambi.

Ralphie, you strike me as an easy mark for someone like Joey Merlino.

Didn't Angelo Lutz, who idolised these guys, get bled dry and have his head kicked in by George Borgesi for little more than shits and giggles?

I did LOL at your comment about morality lectures as opening gambits on dinner dates though.

My heart bleeds for the guy

He was in Ducktown at the beach bar yesterday and Greenhouse toward evening with Mazzone and godson and the crew. Herd they were doing it up in Philly before or after but mostly likely before AC .

Skinny was in pink slacks and blue polo shirt .. who said godfathers don't wear pink slacks .

A don doesn't wear pink.

I agree ted..

In my opinion you have to be secure in your own sexuality to wear pink.

A lot of bi/gay people out there trying too hard to be perceived as straight.

Statistically there must be a lot of gay people out there who won't come out of the closet for a multitude of reasons.

It's common enough knowledge that gay prostitutes get a lot of business from married men with means.

So... yes I wear pink and I can acknowledge when a man is handsome cos I know how much I love pussy and that's all that matters.

Gotti strikes me as someone who would have worn pink, no?

Moe...your slip is showing

What is a distravtor?

Philly has some of the weirdest looking dudes, Merlino is jockey size, Mazzone looks like an oompa loompa, and Borgesi looks like Freddy Krueger. No wonder their wives were all banging other dudes. Sorry in advance for criticizing your heroes.

Distractor's

Philly don't own the rights to that...barney looks like weird also

JC, fyi, this is a mafia talk forum, just so you know..if you are looking for good looking guys to jerk your 3 inch cock too, its probably not the site you should be on..

The Black Hand is probably what he is looking for, though their niche is interracial handjobs.

Garlic face and Anastasia break down the Merlino case; may be bringing in rats for a roundtable in a future video: http://www.phillyvoice.com/watch-mob-experts-break-down-joey-merlinos-racketeering-case/

Did you mean to use the word detractors? If you really think that the word distractor's makes any sense in the context of that sentence I am sorry that you did not have better English teachers. Maybe you should be spending less time hero worshiping and more time learning the basics of the English language.

I think that was well said & makes sense Cabrini..some people don't take this into context.

To funny but dam shame , I have a photo of him and the crew with his I will say salmon color slacks at Greenhouse and Beach bar .

Merlino needs 12 weeks in paris island south carolina.
Drop your cocks and grab your socks and you better be shit, showered, and shaved in 5. Drop and give me 20.
