Unsure who has seen "This is a Robbery" on Netflix in regard to the Gardener Heist, but I'd heard of the usual names of Guarente, Donati and Gentile, but apparently Merlino ran the crew that supposedly pulled the heist. The documentary claims he was made, any ideas when/who? Just a thought because I didn't get much return on the search.
Interesting character a lot of people wouldn’t know who he is or ran with wouldn’t even know the social club he frequented….. but I do lol I know a lot about the man. And his crew. He was old school. Before I start babbling any specifics you would like to know
raymond l.s.patrairca sr to u.s. state committee- " if i didnt have my case coming up ill to come back in here with two gentlemen and when this is over with and really lay down the law, yous guys been giving me nothing but alot of hookwhick and i wish i wasnt on trial and have this case and really tell the united states whats going on " Jerry Anguilo on wartime with winter hill - " If we got to war we got Joe Russo and the maverick boys so we have nothing to worry about they can go to vietnam and come back untouched "
There's no real evidence he was part of Boston/RI LCN that I have seen. Maybe had dealings and was known but a real made guy by Angiulo I'm not sure of that
