LMAO...it was only a matter of time before the Feds got another crack at the punk. Parading around Florida living in other people's posh residences while becoming a maitre'd in a restaurant named after him...I hope he does a 100 years

You could bet if the Feds wrapped up Merlino in this case that they got him by the balls or a cooperating witness.

"Ironically, it appears that Merlino and many of those charged Thursday were in fact the targets of an FBI undercover investigation in which cooperating witnesses, some wearing audio and video recording equipment, infiltrated the groups. The investigation includes hundreds of hours of taped conversations.

Merlino met frequently with at least one cooperator who recorded him and dozens of others, according to a law enforcement source who worked in Florida.

“Not only are you going to hear these guys,” said the source, “but you’re going to see them talking.”"

So just read this on the post. Few things i seen. Frank harpo luchese guy was lil als driver and been around paul vario. Alot of mde guys mostly from the bronx doesnt surprise me merlino was conmected to the bronx guys he spent 12 yers in prison with most of them. Probaly backed him as boss to thats why no one fucked with him. But whts with the feds indicted him in nyc nd just putting his name next to parello on every charge. They couldnt indict him in philly or florida? Also anyone know if anyother phillys guys are indicted. Hes not named in the gun trafficking thing so its all gambling and 1 health fraud which i wonder how that worked. So just think if merlino was even getting money witg the nyc guys how much was he getting at home. Im trying to find the Massachusetts connection taking a guess its whats ever left of the springfield crew working with the bronx guys.

I wonder if any Philly guys even knew that Joey was doing business with NY.

Spirito is referred to as "Johnny Joe" in the indictment. That's senior.

They also mention someone named Daniel Marino, Jr. Is that the one and only?

The Feds weren't indicting Merlino unless they had an airtight case...and Joey doesn't have $1,000,000 lying around for another RICO case, that's for certain

I don't think Rizzuto planned on committing anymore murders in the U.S. as that is what cost him pretty much every male in his family except Leonardo.

This does seem weird that Merlino was the ONLY guy from Philly indicted. Either he was stupid and was caught slacking by meeting the underlings or the Feds are just on a witch hunt. We should see soon enough once the trial starts.

Philly has been reduced to a gang of gamblers and thieves, there was more to be gained linking up with NY then with the current landscape of Philly OC. Looks like Joey was padding his portfolio and after 2 Federal convictions...if they have him on tape (and I believe the evidence is clear and convincing), he won't return a free man until he's in his 70's "at least."

The million dollar question is: Will Joey turn state's evidence? History says absolutely not and for that, I give him a lot of credit...but fresh out of the can after 14 years and just beginning to live the high life (albeit on other people's dimes) again, this could be the bust where he disappears into WITSEC for good...or the bust where the Feds put the final nail in his coffin. VERY INTERESTING! Now I see why all these Philly mob fanatics gush over this midget, he's without question more entertaining than the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers!

Why wouldnt they indict merlino. It makes a great headline. There gonna hold him for 2 years awaiting trial cause hes a boss. Joey probaly not dumb anuff to meet with anyone lower then a capo from nyc after nicky skins was taping him. He will have his mouth piece lawyer forgot name saying he did nothing wrong an cant wait for trial. Looks like the feds had to bring the nyc office in tge mix to make a case against merlino. Weres uncle joe or mazzone strange. Must have been meeting parello secretly. Hes not charged with any violence so i dont no how the bail will go. Hes lawyer Jacobs. Parellos fucked thou. How bad did they want to get barneys name in this indictment.

Whoever the cooperating witness is against Merlino, the Feds wanted him...BADLY! 2 prior Federal Convictions...and they got him on tape and under video...he's fucked

Merlino emerged in the 1990s as the face of the Philadelphia mob. He was a charismatic and well-known personality, the city’s only celebrity gangster, the John Gotti of Passyunk Avenue. He and an entourage of young, well-dressed, good looking mobsters would frequent the clubs along Delaware Avenue and at the Jersey Shore.


Is Anastasia gay? In The Goodfella Tapes he called virtually every mobster he was talking about "handsome", which is debatable at best.

Could be a "witch hunt" either. Just like when those pesky feds put Ciancaglini and Merlino in that VIP room together when Merlino was under tight parole restrictions.

Yep, pmac. They're not stupid. They indicted Merlino in NY because they've got upper 90's conviction/plea deal rates. This guy is fucked. The charges aren't anything like the ones back in the heyday's, kind of pathetic, but most likely damage enough to flip dozens.

Note the below.

Quote:
Merlino's name is mentioned in connection with only a few of the allegations in the indictment, including participating in three sports gambling businesses - one based in Costa Rica, the others in New York, New Jersey and Florida. Merlino is also accused of participating in a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe unnecessary "prescription compound cream" to patients, the indictment says.
