Serp,

You saying guys are all set up in Pittsburgh?

2cents if the young guys didnt want this guy faffy around he wouldnt be welcomed at there clubhouse. they just beat him up and put him on the shelf. im not aware of the guy having kids or brothers in the family so it would be simple to just shelf him. if its true he really saved joeys merlinos life in the 80tys from harry the hunchbacks goons im would bet he has a top spot or capo if he wants it. i will say that guy looks real young for a man 70tyish. he was sentenced to 45 yrs in prison in 89 and hes off parole now i wonder why gene gotti who also got like 45 yrs isnt. he also went to prison in 89

No .... just saying old friends and family are doing same as it ever was ..

No nothing about others.

There is evidence to support my thoughts on Pittsburgh, and faffy is not my friend I'm just commenting on the video I saw

Faffy is 72 years old, he looks fucking amazing!

Faffy was out last night at our Mummers theme reveal party

What’s the Jesters theme this year?

Wasn’t for Jesters, different brigade. Golden Slipper. Mumopoly

My bad wrong brigade , Golden Slippers have a lot of guys talked about on here too though...

Nice seeing Faffy getting so much respect. I always felt he'd make a good boss.

So who will be acting boss

we now merlinos the boss and he introduced mike lance as the acting boss to a few genovese capos at there christmas party at pats in the bronx 2015. i wonder who the offical underboss is? read a few years back the old man chang is probaly. it would make sense. merlino take a page from the genovese play book and put old dinosaurs in the top positions even if there 90ty. keeps heat off the younger capos running the show making the money on the streets

He introduced Lance as "his guy" in Philly, I don't think he used the term "acting" boss

That 2019 philly chart is going to look crazy

I’d say steve mazzone might likely be underboss. Chang sr seems too old and likely too tired to take the role of underboss. If mike lance is street boss then mazzone, who previously had ran things, must’ve taken some sort of high ranking position in the family. But in the end we’re all just speculating.

Mazzone acting boss
Lance street boss
Borgesi under boss
Big Chang and little Chang co-consig

I would make big Chang or faffy acting boss if they were up to it

merlino probaly got the thing traditiona his dad was a underboss hes been raised in the lcn thing and looks like hes close with the genovese. l. 1 street boss i agree, mazzones the underboss. official undeboss still over rules a acting street boss. look up gerry catena vitos underboss chewing out tommy eboli. and probally old chang is consig. he looks healthy in the vids. in ny the consig was always allowd 1 soldier under them who does all there bidiing, its probaly his son. to many chiefs not anuff indians. i aggree that theres probaly more made guys in philly then scarfo at his peak 1985. just making all the old cellmates from the feds and every earner up n down the east coast. bet merlino was making guys in florida.

So does a official under boss Trump's (pun intended) a acting boss??? I wonder if he made any Florida natives, it's conceivable that he could have made philly transplants. I believe that's why thier top heavy, thier bringing new soldiers in and they need to be managed

yaeh jerry catena was vitos official underboss. he was in new jersey thou, so vito made tommy ryan the acting boss while vito in jail in the 60tys .tommy ryan in greenwich village. they butted heads alot and theres old merr ferrel files of catena talking to other men pulling his trump card im the official underboss ect. over tommy ryan who was only a capo but also acting boss. i think merlino nows his history and would have a tight ship

Does anyone know WHAT murders have been allegedly tied to the Philly fam in the last 18-20 years?

It seems like all the families have got hip to the fact that if you don’t kill people, the heat goes down.

I haven’t been keeping up to on my philly knowledge but believe the murders to be around 3-4.

That’s right you need new blood that can earn ....and Skinny is spending just on the top of things around half million a year from what I can tell with family and normal expenses .

I am not talking gambling cars any life outside of mortgage travel children ect.

So yes to keep all those guys that hang around and have hung around there are people and other states feeding the machine.

There doing a very good job at keeping the rackets out of public eyes . I don’t know if the Feds are onto them but outside of rats they are earning and keeping mouth shut.

And with Skinny that’s not attorney fees either ......somebody paying Eddie and a lot of other shit.

Ronnie Turchi in 1999.
Raymond "Long John" Martarano in 2002.
John "Johnny Gongs" Casasanto in 2003.
Rocco Maniscalco in 2010.
Gino DiPietro in 2012.

Back in 2003 the manager of the Striped Bass, George Atterbury, which had loose mob ties via the manager Neil Stein (whose best friend and sidekick was Freddy Orsati and is said to be a mob associate and cousin of the Narducci brothers) was shot outside of the Striped Bass on 15th & Walnut St in Center City Philly. 5 years later he was stabbed and slashed in an apparent mob assault in NYC while he was hosting at a mid-town Manahattan restaurant. I wonder what this was all about. Did the Philly Family have stakes in these new restaurants fronted by Neil Stein and this Atterbury crossed the line one two many times? I know clubs and restaurants have always been and still till this day serve to clean their cash and act as legitimate fronts for them so it wouldn't be anything new....

Lance and Faffy are upthere and Faffy is not hanging around for his health....I just don’t know Stevie’s game or what rank or even his guys just don’t hear anything guess they have him insulated .

But don’t believe the hipe”these guys are school boys”they have money in there pocket and Faffy is tight with everyone but new guys that’s he been getting to know and he may do pretty good out of this new arrangements in with Skinny going away .

Think it may be different then most think ....maybe some guys got cold feet ...or linked to those future indictments were hearing about and are keeping low while others are moving up ....quickly.

After all those years behind bars, looks like Faffy hasn't lost a beat.

He's not faffing around.

@serpiente so who do you think will spell skinny while he's away??? Rumor before was Borgesi filling them shoes
