Does anybody have any recent photos of Nicky Scarfo? All I've seen are the ones from the 80s and I'm sure he looks much older now.

I'll second that, would love to se one. He's probably 5' tall now.. Don't they take new photos every few years in the can so they have something recent in case you escape...??

How old is he in this pic?

short man syndrome

that pic isnt new its from the 90s

Someone get him a stool to stand on!!

still the latest in circulation far as we know. In 10 more years, we'll be looking at a photo he took this month

Stop making fun of his height. You bald motherfuckers would give up a foot in height if you could have a quarter of the hair this guy has..lol

He looks kinda like Nelson Mandela.

No worries I'm sure someone is pushing in his stool....

Rest in Paradise

Nick was crazy lol

Why didn't Scarfo have a funeral?

who would go lol

He doesn't strike me as a spiritual guy.

its the truth too. His mother is dead, his sister is dead but she hated his guts since they were young, obviously not leonetti,his oldest son disowned him and changed his named,nicky jr is in prison, mark is dead.

I never understood the hate this guy got. He was real tough guy, did his thing in the street and died like a man.

oh i dunno...maybe because he was a psychopath ?

If you're gonna be a gangster then you might as well go all the way with it. This guy was a gangster in every sense of the word. That in itself is a rarity, even among gangsters. His legacy is in many ways very admirable. He lived his life fearlessly and did everything most people don't have the balls to do. My guess is he enjoyed every moment.

Did his oldest son definitely disown him? He might have just changed his name because he's working legitimately and doesn't want to be tainted with the same brush. Doesn't mean he didn't love his father. Although I don't know the dynamics of that family and everything that went down. If Scarfo really mocked his other son for attempting suicide, that's the lowest of the low, but it's also pretty low if what he actually said and thought was distorted and made for public consumption. I've got to believe he's more redeemable than that. I mean Nicky Jr. was pretty busted up about that.

You know what i find admirable? Men who take care of their family,men who live life as a good citizen. Admirable and nicky scarfo dont belong in the same sentence lol

Yeah I'm sure he enjoyed having the smell of his cellmate's dumps wafting in the air as he tried to quietly bust a nut to a smuggled nudie mag for thirty years.

From what ive heard chris and his father never got along really. Its not hard to imagine knowing nickys reputation. He even wanted his wife dead at one point. This is the same guy who killed his most loyal capo over a damn news article lol

I seriously doubt he had that problem Moe. This guy had a lot of friends in prison. Even the guards loved him. One thing about this guy is that he never lost his smile or his sense of humor. This may come as a surprise to you Moe, but people who are happy and genuinely love life tend to have many friends. If it hadn't been for Joey Merlino's jealousy, Scarfo would've gone down as one of the more beloved figures in Philly. The guys on the street loved him.

Yeah, you're probably right. I guess it's just hard to understand the pathology of guys like Scarfo, what makes them tick. Similarly to Joey Merlino, he seems to be happiest when he's inflicting pain and misery on others. I'd say it's/was uncomfortable for people to hang around guys like this. I suppose Goodfellas encapsulated it well with Joe Pesci's character, his sadism and how everyone walked on eggshells around him.

some mobsters have better family relationships than others. I mean look at Roy Demeo. Basically a serial killer yet had a great relationship with his 3 kids. Kinda shows you how nuts Scarfo was lol.

You do realize that these people Scarfo killed or was accused of killing were playing the same game? It's not like he hit random people. Most of these people were killers themselves. Salvie Testa killed a lot of people.

Nick did not want a public service ....

And it’s completely false that Chris hated his father it’s bullshit he loved his father and was in on 80% of things that were on the up and up !

The reason what the name changed was because of the business he chose and also the one that he is doing now that he is making great money in would never allow a name like Scarfo .

You guys can not believe the bull that you been hearing like the banishment to Atlantic City and 10 paperclips story .

There is so much that’s out there that’s wrong and there is so much out there that even was not put in the newspaper.

Like the guy that Phil talks about in his book the biker that was shot “ the guy was not a biker per say he was a big dude though and you guys would never believe what he became in life because they were both young when it happened.

And what I mean by per say not a biker is that the guys that rode down Georgia ave. was his friends and fraternity brothers “ see we had fraternity’s back then and AC had several large ones see back then you had to belong to something mob or other.

serp is phil showing his face around the shore this summer. he must be getting old didnt him and his family also relocate to arizona. he said in his book he had a boat up and down the east coast. thats cool. i just think with his uncle dying what last year it would piss off even the lcn guys from philly that didnt like nick. you think about it more then a dozen of scarfo guys are on the strrets. there old as fuck but you know there kids and grand kids love him

nick scarfo believed so much in that lcn its almost unbleivable. his dumb kid just got 30yrs wow. took it on the chin alot of the board was like he'll flip i new that would never happen. after being in jail for so long jr can he just let bygones be bygones. even towards merlino i bet its just watever today

He does show up now and then and no longer on that boat. And yes regular folks can not rap there head around Nicks life and his steadfast belief in the mob nothing came before it and he never thought of anything but being a gangster!

There were really only a couple things out of line in that life that he did , people in that life looked up to him other then the underlings that always talk about superiors but he will go down in history.

And yes Jr. was as loyal as they come and even minded and a very likable guy . Not for one minute did I think he would flip it’s his history and it ends in the joint like what they know is coming. Smart guy to when it came to making money he always had money .

Serp..gotta ask this..is what phil,says true..did he sit with jr, on more than one occasion..and if so, how do u think sr felt.here is my feel, sr would disown his kid, have him shelved whatever, there is no way he is who he is and would just accept jr having coffee phil, no way..and if he did, shame on him.. call the skinny guy and his ironies what u will, they wouldn’t accept it..I know, phil has balls, they all do, they would never sit in the same block if they knew was there, let alone talk with him.

I don’t think there is / was any kind of relationship there “ and from what I know it was twice the time that Phil surprised him and another time same at a family thing so pretty sure Jr. was not mingling with him as much as Phil would love to have someone to share that with but that’s not the case Jr. was walked up on and you know that Jr is not carrying a piece and going to kill Phil in the middle of the day at a business.

Jr. Is what he is even as a boy he is same was you can piss him off and he is remaining calm and not going to over react he is not his fathers son in that way but obviously everything else don’t matter it’s the life first he will end up close to 40 years in the joint if he lives so I would say he put the life first.


Biggie I know you are out and about here and Philly this year it’s getting a little drama filled with guys busting out windows in a made guys house ......not for nothing back in the day someone would of been exposed by now......very bad look.

Ithats why I asked you..jr took his sentence like a man and he showed he is def about the life. and Philip made it sound like he sat with him and it was all good, I thought he must have embellished , that’s why I turned to you..I agree ons the drama..my opinion..just cuz the media hasnt exposed something doesn’t mean it’s not being worked ...I mean it wa s4 weeks ago, in the era of the Internet and tweeter..took salvy a year to do the day to get his payback, were the newspapers and streets questioning him?we both know the answer to that.

I am sure the only time would of been around a family crisis with who knows who was around children aunts uncles ect but there are reasons why Phil comes around he is not in the WPP so he is free to come and go he has blood here and Philly and so does his son and his wife and other then someone from the Westside taking him out I really don’t think it would come from Philly but after that last hit with Nicodemo Who knows.

My comment wasn’t on phil being hurt, not at all..no one even thinks of phil, other than thinking he’s a jerkoff who ratted..my reply had to do with you saying back in the day someone would have been exposed..and I pointed out it took salvy a year to get even on the death of his FATHER, not a window..so just so nothing has happened in 4 weeks doesn’t mean it shows a bad look..doesn’t mean nothing is being worked on.

Yeah man I get you .... with everything that’s going on it’s bad if they don’t make anything of it they get a bad look and if something was to happen then the guys that are dealing with this case they will get a bad look in court it’s a lose lose unless like Nick did with Salvie and wait till it’s right .

Then again like I said about Nicodemo When uncle Joe was on trial that murder went down that was a bad look and he got off , so who knows.... we will read about it.

Phil has blood here in Philly Serp??? they must be pretty old or much younger huh?...U guys maybe have a lobster dinner @ The Knife & Fork Inn from time 2 time @ all?....lol.

No he is still very cautious and I don’t think he is making plans with old friends... Now maybe a surprise visit but he is not settling himself up I don’t think.

He has family and in laws around here and other city’s ....now I am sure the old timers are holding a grudge but this new generation really have no concept of then.

Actually not many people know this but Leonetti has a daughter in AC still. I think she’s from another woman, which is a reason to come back. Not sure if it’s the best relationship though.

Also, kind of funny/random I was walking in down 13th St last night and guy I was walking with stopped at a corner and looked down as we were talking and said “that’s Mike Chang, Stevie Mazzone, Joey Merlino and tommy scafidi’s signatures”. Sure enough in the cement you can see ‘Chang’ written twice, ‘Head’, ‘Joe’ and ‘Stevie’. From the late 80s write outside the back entrance of S. Philly HS. If you guys are downtown ever it’s kind of funny to check out. Corner of 13th & Jackson. I would have taken a pic but it was evening/getting dark and the guy I was with definitely would have thought looked at me suspiciously and weirdly if I did, but it’s definitely there!

Right on PHL mob I could never say that just in case and yes he does

Is the daughter Leonetti has older or younger than his son and was this child born during his relationship with his current wife?

She is not in the life and has no connection with it she should not be a part of a gangster fourm .

I agree another poster had brought up that leonetti had a daughter I was curious if I rub anyone the wrong way about the question I do apologize I meant no harm like I said I was just curious

The guy is a killer but she did not have a clue ....and she try’s to stay out of it ..... and no she is not the daughter of Phil’s wife that you all know by Maria .


All good just a shame for her.

Corrine check your PM

Where’s tommy scafidi?
