Saw a post of this guy basically saying that joey merlino is a rat and that if they ever cross paths they will be fighting. This guy is a grade A loon. Basically saying Philly is a street corner gang with 7 guys and that Joey did nothing after they hit his best friend. He went on to call Joey's wife a whore and that Joey has never did anything to rate up near what gene borello has done
Just a joke. But for real though, he's out of line trying to talk shit to someone who always faced his own music and did his time rather than ratting his way out.
Joey and Joe Perri roasted borrelo on this weeks youtube, it was funny; Joey is making big $$ and it has to be legitimate I guess, podcasts and youtube can only make so much at the beginning. Real Estate in Philly and FL is pricey maybe thats how...
I hate to say anything positive about the rat Gene Borrello, but he dresses fresh, so does Joey Merlino. They're perfect examples of what I mean when I say they don't have to be all decked out in expensive suits to look nice.
https://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cognomi-italiani/MERLINO I doubt he is Calabrese. He is short like a sicilian arab. Arab features. If you listen he calls franzese francese. Because sicilians hated their french norman occupiers who settled in naples and calabria. They preferred arab occupiers hence the sicilian vespers. Leonetti mentioned this talking to patrick bet david
How the hell did Gene Borrello end up with 60,000 Instagram followers? Are people really that stupid to think he was this badass legendary mobster? To top it all off he's a rat who helped put REAL gangsters behind bars.
He is constantly posting on all social media platforms which keeps him somewhat relevant I guess in social media rat conversations. But everyone active in this forum knows he one of the biggest 2 or 3 jokes out there as far as mob related rats and activity.
At least Cicale, Mikey, Sammy, Joey, (I know Joey is no rat) and a few others were high level and also big time earners, Borello was straight muscle and a loose cannon to boot.
He acts like he was a big time Capo, talking shit on the Philly Family for example, saying NY doesn’t even acknowledge them. Who is he to say who the 5 families administrations acknowledge? He’s such a joke.
Honestly both of them are jerk offs in my view. Borello was a nobody and Joey although he reached a position of power at a time when Philly was weak I’d say he is best known for getting shot in the ass and his wife banging a bunch of guys on the street. Not exactly a respected legacy lol

Im not sure if I should say this..but as a former medical doctor, I think that Gene guy is some type of incest, mostly according to his facial anatomy and also his mental state/actions
He who can never endure the bad will never see the good
If you go on Itaianames.com and Type in the Merlino Surname it comes up that his Last name is Sicilian as well as his Mothers I Couldint believe it at first when I Searched both Names cause he is too much of a Lowlife to be Sicilian I thought he was Calabrese or Barese
