Is there anyone around with a worse rep than this guy? I dont know much about him but all i ever hear about is him being a low life snake shitbag who would beat his own mother out her her last dollar

A lot of guys have called him a snake. But to me the funniest thing was that his wife was having affair and got knocked up by another guy while he was in jail and he is still with her 😂

That's what I call loyalty 😆

I heard they shot johnny gongs peeshadeel off for his affair before they filled his head wit slugs

Johnny Gongs certainly didn’t hide his conquests. Apparently at a club he grabbed Deborah Merlino’s ass and yelled across the room to Joey Merlino’s friends “Tell Joey this belongs to me now”. Stupid or not it’s pretty ballsy and certainly made Joey look bad that in public Gongs was letting everyone know he was nailing his wife

I think this says a lot about his wife. Is she an alley cat ???

Man...that's next level in getting cucked lol

I think Merlino is like a lot of people. Those who like him, really like him (his personal buddies). Those who he has rubbed the wrong way, or 'beat,' hate his ass.

As far as his wife blatantly fucking around on him while he was in the can? That IS next level disrespect toward him and she should have gotten a kick in her ass. To publicly flaunt her puttana ways is very telling.

She basically cuckolded him. As for Johnny Gongs. He was obviously another piece of shit, and completely deserved what he got.

Even by todays low standards of morality, both of them were way out of bounds. I'm only surprised that Merlino continued with his wife. If it was me? Lol.... I can't even write what would have happened.

Years ago, his lack of self-control, and the embarrassment he brought himself (as well as his borgata), would have been grounds to shelve him. Period! It goes to show what passes for rules and decorum nowadays.

. I mean to be fair nobody is going to have much sympathy for Joey’s wife fucking around especially since he fucked around as well. Also when you go back to even his exploits as a kid he was a huge douche bag. The one guy I felt a bit bad for was actually Ernesto Grillo. He was put in a horrible situation.

Most of these type guys were wild men as kids. The smarter ones mellow with age (or not).

But regardless of how many bracciole Joey may have bagged in his day, in 'the street' thats considered the norm, and a badge of honor if you will, among the bent-nose set. What is NOT the norm, nor condoned, is to allow your woman to do the same!

A double standard? You bettcha! But thats the way it is. Especially in the underworld. It is a MAJOR slap in the face to any knock around guy (let alone a goodfella) to allow somebody, anybody, to stick his cannoli in your woman's sfogliatelle. Period!

A major NO-NO!

Again these are the BAD GUYS so I’m not going to feel bad for a piece of shit like him. If this was a normal circumstance and the guy was legit then I would completely agree with you. I’m not saying I agree with what she did but I do find it hilarious And I will make an exception for a scumbag like Joey 😂.

The thing with Merlino is that he seems to be on good terms with other criminal gangs in Philly; the Black and Puerto Rican gangs, bikers, Greeks and Irish.

So he isn't disliked by everyone. Obviously I don't have my ear to the Philly streets so I can't really speak for his local rep.

Merlino's an idiot...Driving around in a Bentley etc..He's on Junior Gotti's level

This is all nonsense. Comes from rats and lowlife reporters who don't know the man. Let me tell you something my friend, Joey Merlino is a good, decent man who'd give you the shirt off his back! Not only did this wonderful man host Christmas parties for the homeless and give free turkeys to the poor every Thanksgiving, he also used to visit children's hospitals and orphanages where he'd hand out presents and read stories to the kids. One time he flew some 50 sick kids to Disney World.

Yeah, and he'd call the tv stations to let them know he was doing it..He wanted it to benefit himself more then the kids or the poor

. Exactly. If anybody thinks he was doing it out the the goodness of his heart then I have a bridge to sell them 😂. Pablo Escobar used the same tactic and he blew up a airliner

She ain't even that bangin.

She was not bad for his mug !

He could be the joker on a Batman movie .

Someone ought to slit his throat ear to ear to match thaf stupid smile of his

He was doing it to intergrate himself with the muslims and the Junior Black Mafia, as he said everyone has a cousin or nephew or niece and they run the prisons..Its why hes so tight with them..Nothing to do with helping kids

[video:youtube]http://youtube.com/shorts/LJ6UpxEBiwc[/video]

Singing Joey.

Do you not think he looks a bit like John Stamos?

😂

You'd think Merlino's circle would pop him just to get the heat off all of them, without Joey around I think the FBI would give 80% less effort into Philly

Joey Merlino and company are all flat broke. Their reputations are known throughout the entire city of Philadelphia. Nobody likes them or trusts them. This is the reason why they can not accumulate wealth like other organisations. They live in the dog eats dog world. The caliber of men that once existed in this city are dead and buried. These guys today are nickel and dime hoods that are cheating and robbing each other and whoever else they do business with. The old timers must be rolling over ion their graves seeing these imbeciles involved in this city. Just do your research and you will see for yourselves what kind of guys they are.

So true ! And you have guys post bad stuff about Nicky jr. ..... compared to Skinny one of jr rackets is a lifetime of Skinny’s earnings or rackets ... not even close ... I don’t think Sikinny has ever had a money making racket ... other then walking out on bar & restaurant bills ....loser.

Joey was making 6 figures every single month with Brad Sirkin and the pain cream clinics in florida[u][/u]
making money isnt his problem,being a degenerate gambler is...

If I ever hear or read someone using the term ‘the old guys must be rolling the grave’ line I’m already out. Joey is not broke. You mean all the old timers are dead and not active anymore?! That’s some great insight! No shit, it’s 2021 but there are legit killers on the street right now in Philly. Ask Gino or Rocco

This girl he married got pregnant by a African American guy who was a member of the NY NFL. They followed her in a car to MD to have an abortion with Billy Rennick. What kind of guy stays married to that Ho??? That should tell you what this scumbag really is.

He will also try to fuck your Grandmother your good friend. He even fucked his own fathers gummed years ago. Her name was KT and she was a hair dresser from Drexel Hill PA This guy is an absolute abortion. They give him all these kudos when he won a war by accident. When Stanfa was out these guys would not leave their own houses that its how scared they were. So for you to make it like this guy is a great guy than that tells me something about you.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

And Joey is still with her ?? Why was she out hanging with here guys ? Where was he?? His own wife doesn’t respect his arse?

He was in prison most of his adult life...this may come as a surprise to you but women need sex just as bad as men.

Say what you want about him but the name of game is survive to live another day on the street. Guess what, he's a survivor. Like it or not.

And another thing, all the vitriol that's spilled about the rats, and snitches, the spineless state of todays members including NYC guys you'd think that a guy who fought wars and won, went to jail a few times keeping is mouth shut and still is a boss would be recognized for what he is...a gangster. I'm sorry but I disagree. I think Merlino is a throw back.

No disagreement there. Whatever you may think of him on a personal level, he IS definitely a gangster to the core.

Joey is a stone cold gangster. Funny story, before the scarf jr. hit Joey kept shooting out the window up in the air and Mikey Chang was so pissed they had to turn around and get more bullets.

Last of the Mohicans!!!!

There is one thing I don't quite get about Merlino: why are people always saying he "won" the war against Stanfa? It would actually have been interesting to see who would have really won in that conflict, but the feds never gave them the chance, since they arrested Stanfa and his loyalists and put them in jail for life. Of course, Merlino exploited the situation and filled the void created, but unless people think the feds were working for Merlino, I don't see how can he be credited with this "victory", it wasn't really his merit that Stanfa was jailed for life.

When the war between Merlino and Stanfa was on these guys would not leave their own houses. They were scared to death. They have more rats walking around in south philly than in the witness protection. These guys are getting smacked around and abused today by rats. This life is over. They should all go get jobs and live happily ever after. The days of the life are all in the past. These guys are nickel and dime hoods who beat and disrespect everyone in their path. All the other readers should wake up or at least know the real truth behind these mutts.

Wow lot of guys talking out of pocket...easy on a keyboard I guess...I don't believe in rumors but if you are going to post one at least post it right..it was supposedly mark Gastineau who last I checked isn't black..again I don't believe in rumors...Joey got all you jerkoffs.talking online like an 8th grader hating on your girlfriends crush...serp I know you got a personal thing with Joey, but I'm surprised at you, sucking nicky Jr off why badmouthing all the other guys..let's make this easy, this summer while down the shore, why don't you go and say it in person since you are so In the know you should be able to.find them pretty easy. Wow..calling guys bustouts without knowing a thing about their financial situation...you should know.better

You can say what you will about Joey Merlino, but he fought his way to the top. FOUGHT is the key word here.

He is very respected, he's the boss. Has been for many years. And from the looks of things, will stay the boss.

The NYC crews all recognize him accordingly. And he is liked.

He's a tough little fuck. And he ain't taking shit for anyone.

And his people seem to be extremely loyal to him as well. So he must be doing something right!

Spot on 100% , I will also second that these guys ain’t brokesters, I mean even Marty the drunk drives a 100k+ car , summers in Margate, and lives in a 700k plus house.....

-Dante

Seems more agree with me than I expected, just glad a few see him for what he is, not what they want him to be because of personal feelings. Don't misinterpret me, he's a criminal, and NOT someone I admire outside of this forum at all. It's a gangster forum, he's a true gangster and he/his side won the war. Wars are won in many different ways, including killing and outlasting your enemy. If the feds made arrests that resulted in weakening one side or other so be it. It happens in ALL mob wars. If Carmine Galante wasn't in jail would the Banana War been different? If Sonny Franzese wasn't in jail? Any chance he and his men side with the Gallo's and then what? Speculation can go on and on. All good in war and peace. Merlino won.

Kudo's to "Biggie, NY MAfia and Dante, I agree with your posts

Marty the Drunk even has his expensive house in his name with his second wife , next the blind will see and the lame will walk (Paulie Walnuts Voice) LOL

My point is these guys aren’t brokesters, most of you guys talking shit about these guys on an Internet forum would run scared if you ever saw them out here in person on the Jersey Shore (they’re not hard to find) and I’ll also guarantee that most of you guys calling these guys brokesters probably have $76.30 in your checking account while living in some hellhole part of the South or Middle America, or even worst some former Eastern Block European country while you watch TV in the year 2021 on a TV with rabbit ear antennas......

-Dante

LOL

Can't see how anyone can disagree with what you said, whether they like him or not. He's been in the game for about 40 years now, did battle plenty of times and has consistently been the last one standing in said battles. He's had the feds on his tail and never snitched. He looks to be in good standing with all the other families, still has plenty of people looking up to him and has solid relations with other gangs in the city. I'm not even from the area, but I can do the math and if that's not the makings of a true gangster I don't know what is.

True .... but trust me Biggie when you get my age and if you hang out with anyone in the life you will have same feelings about someone if not many ... and i do tend to be partial to friends or family... that will never change.

But have to admit these guys are the old guys now ... because the old guys are dead or in the joint.

Speaking of i was with Jr. uncle today.

Dont listen to some stupid dickhead on a internet forum. Joey is a good guy to any who know him. If any of yous ran into him somewhere he would give you the respect and time of day to have a conversation with you and wouldnt blow you off. You can be cunning or whatever and still be a good person at the same time, which he 100% is. Joey deserves respect and thats why all around him give it to him. He took on a boss and took it over when he was like 30 and not even a made guy, spent most of it since locked up and never said a word and never would. He can sit back and relax in Florida now because he opened up everyone else to be where they are today and a lot of people owe him a lot. Most of yous were prob rubbing one out in your parents basement at 30. Some of yous still are. Joey is a nice person, a legit dude and i've never seen him be anything but that.

That makes a lot of sense. And I do believe that most of what you've said had a ton of validity to it. If it didn't, Joey Merlino would not be where he is today. Period!

Philly guys perfectly put...Dante and NY mafia and majicrat also right on the money...zero they are in there late fifties , got decades in the street under their belt , and the respect of all the guys from your era..they've talked the talk and walked the walk. There is no need to worship anyone , but even less of a need to slaughter...

I'm w/ Serp...if it wasn't 4 his father, joey would still b a purse snatchin' , chain grabbin' lil punk.

Although Joey may or may not of even been made had he grown up in NYC, the New York guys seem to really like him. The guy does have brass balls.

I’ve said this before, Joey at the end of the day is just a very charismatic individual that people are drawn to and flock to , both people in the streets and plain old pure civilians.

I’ve personally seen it with my own two eyes, you should see what happens when Joey and his crew shows up on a Sunday afternoon in the summer at Ventura’s Tiki Bar in Margate when the DJ is playing, it’s like N’Sync showing up at a 9 year old girls birthday party in the late 1990s.

-Dante

D.

I was born and raised in South Philly. These guys go out of their way for you, I have never had a bad experience around them or with them. Joey M, is a good guy when you get to know him. He really is. Marty is a Doll and they are fun loving funny guys. I think people that don't like them or talk bad about them may have some level of jealousy towards them. Some of these guys have gone through and are now going through alot. Thanks to the scumbag APRAT (rat persiano) I feel bad for these guys. Unfortunately, they let their guard down and let a rat - lying - scumbag - (who never liked any of them in the first place since the turra days) into their fold.

Hoodlum, I'm pretty sure that applies to at least almost every made guy who's father, uncle, cousin etc preceded them. They'd more than likely be no where without the connection. It just pisses a lot of you off that Merlino is around, lived by the code, did his time and is secure in his position, Oh and by all accounts loved his most of family. The only ones that hate him are on this board. The ones that don't even matter, LOL

Marty is a doll LOL , now that’s a funny joke!

Yes I agree with you on Joey M though he’s always polite , funny, down to Earth , etc whenever I have been in his presence at the shore.

I also 100% agree with you that AP is a total scumbag , I told you his own nieces/nephews weren’t even allowed to be around him. I know a woman who he conned way back in the day to sign a lease for him of a massive Center City condo because he was selling drugs and couldn’t show legit income. Sometimes greed makes your judgement foggy and it gets the best of you, which is why I think AP was able to get around certain people. I also happen to think that Dom G inherited him into his crew and had no choice.

If you come to really think of it the Feds really didn’t get too much from AP , he was only able to jam up Dom G and then by default Stevie out of the big players. I don’t think anyone else of significance trusted AP. Then after Stevie and Dom G he got the drug dealing and bookmaking guys of the Mazzone wing of the family.

In the other wings of the family he was only able to jam up/get on the Feds radars Sharkey , Joey Electric through drugs, and Tony Mortgages. Sammy Piccolo was his main running mate in AC area from Nicky Jr old crew so of course he jammed and sold out his best friend.

The point I’m trying to make is that I really don’t think the majority of the family trusted AP or the Feds would have jammed up a lot more of the major players in Philly.

-Dante

I also happen to think that The Feds don’t really have much on Stevie and predict that he will beat the charges like Uncle Joe and Georgie did last big indictment or he will plead to a gambling charge like Joey M did. I can see either of those scenarios happening because if you read the indictment they just have Stevie on tape at an induction ceremony which isn’t illegal, him simply saying on tape “were gangsters and to take back Atlantic City” is all they got of significance on him which a good defense team (which he has) could tear apart.

The only thing I could see if the Feds are pressing his brother Sonny but Sonny ain’t flipping on his own brother and definitely isn’t flipping over a bullshit gambling charge he made bail on. Sonny is an asshole but not that kind of asshole.

I think the Feds threw any charges they could on Stevie to see if it would stick.

-Dante

^ To sum up my point with all of these posts (have some time to kill waiting here at the bank) is that I don’t think it’s fair to say AP was trusted by many. I think it was actually the opposite.


Dom G was jammed up because AP had to unfortunately be placed into someone’s crew and they only got Stevie on what I think are weak charges by default through getting Dom G . If AP was trusted they would have had a lot more of the major players in the indictment and would have had more serious charges like murder on certain guys. Don’t forget that AP introduced an undercover Fed so if he was actually trusted they would have had a lot more, a way lot more.

-Dante

Dante,

I understand what you are saying but there had to be some level of trust for the scum rat AP - and I think that it is because Sammy P (poor sammy p) brought him around. Sammy has been around a long time - thanks to the RAT AP poor Sammy is in prison - AGAIN

Dante,


BTW i remember who JP is now

O.K. ....Fuck It...here is a story only some know........My connection 2 some these ppl. is that my old man & Bruno were "friendly" b-cause my old man was a union official @ Keebler Cookie factory @ that time was @ G & Hunting park aves....Ive told this b4 on this venue....Bruno used 2 meet my pop on occasion..anywheres..also @ my home 2 times I can remember as a child....whatever...Ive grown 2 know some of the outskirt cummuppers through the yrs....2 the point ...1 day , in what I believe was 1977 , Thanksgiving day A friend of mine& I went 2 George Washington High school w/ our hot chicks...mine was 2 b my high school sweeetheart...and along comes this fucking braggart kid ON A HORSE askin' if he could he could have a hit of our bong..he said he was a jockey & when the thanksgiving game ( I think it was Father Judge High v/ Northeast High)..2 far back ..was going on..I was enjoying my buzz..when I realized that this fuckin' kid was hitting up on my chick...Now this was all out on the bleachers mind u where all of us were 1 xcept this 1 fucking kid & his 2 buddies & horse...we didnt know were this fuck came from?........here.., we found out that 1 of his friends pops was the coach 4 the opposing team & that they set up a stable 4 this jerk offs horse while he tried 2 manipulate the neighborhoods kids & their chicks...& was selling SECONAL pills 2 us all...needless 2 say..my chick didnt like him..& he wasn't welcolm in our hood as northeast philly was longhairs & he was an outcast Guido....my arm hurts now but ill b back later ....HOOD.

I’m guessing the kid on the horse was Joey Merlino??

so we are on the same page, hood, that would make the kid 15 years old...i mean..44 years later...and this is the instance you harbor that type of hate for? for that? shit like that happened every 16 minutes growing up where i grew up, you move on from it pretty quick...

I have to say Hood that that story is lame and you must have somebody else mixed up with Joey! Hes a South Philly guy through and through and would of either been at the Neauman/Southern football game and spend Thanksgiving with his family in South philly because that's a huge holiday in the itailian community. why would he be up where you were. Maybe Hood you took to many pills. Another thing, as far as Merlino, Mazzone (Stevie), Marty, and Georgie are concerned they are financially secure. You just dont know it!

Merlino was making about 100k A MONTH from the pain cream call centers and doctors in south Florida with Brad Sirkin...Merlino has made millions and millions. Making money isn’t his problem. Being a degenerate gambler is...

Yeah it was Fuckin' Merlino u idiots...& I dont care how long ago it was....what I was tryin' 2 point out was that at even @ 17 he was a jerkoff....& U southphillyoldhead should know that back then that would have been him....I always liked u & ur posts south...& always found u interesting b cause u true 2 ur shit...but dont jerk me around on something that DID happen 40 yrs. ago....I dont like that FUCK , & I never will.....he's a jerkoff now ..& allways will be.. My friend Philip should have clipped him back when he was on the Usual Suspects but could not because of the circumstances..........I WAS TRYING 2 make a point ....fuck all of youse..

And another thing...he liked being an aspiring jockey cause he cant blame a horse 4 having a bigger cock than him...so go an suck his teeny peeny u fuckin joey lowe

You sound like you've had a few, hoodlum. Praying for you

Fuck you raphie...go back 2 your moms basement & watch some more porn...

No..fuck you Hoodlum. Go fuck your ugly wife

Really???...my wife happens 2 b fuckin' hot..unlike the shit u jerk off 2 everyday..

Your wife is disgusting. Stop lying to the people in here. We've had enough of your bullshit stories from the 80s. You were too drunk to remember any of it you fucking junkie

Ur DEAD MOTHERFUCKER...WORD IS OUT....IF I FIND U ON THE STREET UR DEAD!!!!!!!!!! U BETTER SLEEP W/ 1 EYE OPEN ///AND W Joey's help ...ul b easy 2 find...you motherfucker.....at least I have a wife u scum ....ur fuckin' dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know damn well your wife isn't as hot as you'd like her to be. It hurts that this is your reality. Your looks have faded and all you are now is an old drunk with vague memories and longing for a time that's long gone. Pray to Christ my friend

U dont know what my wife nor I look like YET....till we kill u scumbag...U R DEAD my friend..!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that you want to kill me because of something I said speaks volumes about your character. You're a junkie. The people in here pity you. I hope you get help my friend and I truly mean that

Wow this subject went off the rails!! Hoodlum I think you remind me of weasel, a guy I knew that was a drunk big mouth that gets dropped quick! Always picking him up off the bar floor! Hardly anybody believes your bullshit. To even believe a pretty woman would tolerate you less alone Joey in the northeast on a horse in the 70s on Thanksgiving! Hood clean yourself up before your wife leaves your drunk ass!

fuck you asswipe scumbag....I was adviised by ppl. on this board 2 no longer talk 2 u...you r what they call a "troll?'......and besides..my men r tracking u down....ur a dead man walking.

I guess the truth hurts!!! God bless you!

So wait, Joey merlino was riding his horse around a high school stadium in northeast philly???? This is gold!! Like watching Drunk History on Comedy Central.

Joey banged your girlfriend back in 1977 and you still harping on it. You live a sad life my friend.

I was reading this in a hurry, and did a double take on one part that I highlighted. I had to rush to work, but am glad I re-read it, or else I would have had a bizarre image of sex with an animal in my head:

O.K. ....Fuck It...here is a story only some know........My connection 2 some these ppl. is that my old man & Bruno were "friendly" b-cause my old man was a union official @ Keebler Cookie factory @ that time was @ G & Hunting park aves....Ive told this b4 on this venue....Bruno used 2 meet my pop on occasion..anywheres..also @ my home 2 times I can remember as a child....whatever...Ive grown 2 know some of the outskirt cummuppers through the yrs....2 the point ...1 day , in what I believe was 1977 , Thanksgiving day A friend of mine& I went 2 George Washington High school w/ our hot chicks...mine was 2 b my high school sweeetheart...and along comes this fucking braggart kid ON A HORSE askin' if he could he could have a hit of our bong..he said he was a jockey & when the thanksgiving game ( I think it was Father Judge High v/ Northeast High)..2 far back ..was going on..I was enjoying my buzz..when I realized that this fuckin' kid was hitting up on my chick...Now this was all out on the bleachers mind u where all of us were 1 xcept this 1 fucking kid & his 2 buddies & horse...we didnt know were this fuck came from?........here.., we found out that 1 of his friends pops was the coach 4 the opposing team & that they set up a stable 4 this jerk offs horse while he tried 2 manipulate the neighborhoods kids & their chicks...& was selling SECONAL pills 2 us all...needless 2 say..my chick didnt like him..& he wasn't welcolm in our hood as northeast philly was longhairs & he was an outcast Guido....my arm hurts now but ill b back later ....HOOD.

knowing your history and the shit your into im not suprised your thoughts go towards images of sex with animals...

You are sick and a lowlife, "knowing my history?" There is nothing in my history like that. I made a lighthearted joke that was harmless, and hoped it would give people a much need laugh. You insult me constantly, and have said I trafficked minors. I have no idea what is wrong with you, but you need help

Relax Jace it was just a lighthearted joke..just breaking balls...

hood, to carry hatred over 40 year old teenage nonsense is ridiculous.. i was light with my post, pointing out if thats the reason, then its a fucked up reason..44 years..i would venture to say over that time frame you have been in his company at least once, probably many times, you ever tell him what a jerkoff he was to his face? naaah, course not. but you will on here...you and i have had this skit before, relax..but if need be, im easy to find.. pm me, ill get you a way to reach whenever you like

Ok everyone take a breather. Hood, I think you're taking this way too personal. The only reason dude said something about your wife's looks is because you attacked him first. I'm assuming dude doesn't even know you or your wife so his comment should mean nothing to you. But to threaten people's lives is a bit too far bro. I'm not disputing your story because it very well could have happened. It is a little weird that a young Joey Merlino would have been lurking around the north side, on a horse no less, on Thanksgiving. So you can't blame people for questioning that. Just argue back. Ther's no need to say things like you're gonna kill them. Jeez. Really? You would risk life in prison or the death penalty just because someone is questioning your, "I encountered Joey Merlino on a horse back in the day and he tried to fuck my girlfriend" story? Relax homey.

Well this thread certainly escalated lol

And to think that it all started out with an already banned troll poster stating a troll question regarding Joey Merlino's current reputation

By now I think we can all come to a consensus that Joey Merlino does not have a bad rep and is well respected by anybody who is anybody

Hey hood, whats your wifes #. Asking for a friend. He didn't want to take the time to look on seekingarrangements.com to find her. PM me with details. Guys a real horse.

I gotta say, there's some funny stuff here.

Merlino sighting

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mafia/comments/ndwvi0/probably_the_latest_picture_of_philly_boss_joey/

He looks more and more like the grinch the older he gets

from that recent pic, it looks as though Merlino may of had some cosmetic dental work done.

Looks like he doing alright ..... fucken driving feds up a wall !!!! If one of these young feds can gain way in Philly he will retire rich in 6 - 8 years on a good Philly case that puts Skinny away .... like fucken game .... sort of what’s going on in the White House these days .

I maintain he's the real deal. All of the posters saying otherwise are missing his status as a throwback and now a modern boss. I don't doubt for a second he's both respected and feared.

I don't know why the guys up in Philly doing the heavy lifting would kick up top a guy 1,500 miles that doesn't get dirty anymore

I hereforth agree....yes. it is I (Hoodlum)..who agrees 2 settle & be merry........as long as Railphi Ciff..does not get in the way)......

That's for sure about the double standard. Not to mention the way they dictated the lives of daughters,nieces,female in laws,female relatives, etc besides their wives.They were like the taliban.. They told the women everything they could and couldn't do. .The way they could dress,wear their hair,where they could go,how much money they could spend.And had a long list of forbidden things for the women

He had a nasty reputation as cruel dude, they said he was ruthless, they said he was crude. He is just eager for action, he's just hot for the game. He's the coming attraction, he is the drop of the name.

Worse rap than Merlino? I’d say there were quite a few, not to say Joey is a class act. But still.
