Pretty sure Felix Bocchino was Mazzone's first hit if I remember correctly and I'm sure George and Joey played a role in that hit somehow since Mazzone was Joey's guy. Billy Veasey was Johnny Chang and Borgesi and Lance. Not sure who did Gino Marconi in '99 but Merlino was in jail at that point.

This is sort of an unrelated question, but does anyone know anything about the Mikey Ice Brennan hit in '94? He was last seen getting into a bar fight with Vincent Iannece in South Philly and then was later found dead in Camden, NJ. I think he was a low-level Merlino Associate.


cool thanks...never heard of some of these hits

I looked up the Felix hit...said a heavy set guy ran from the scene...Mazzone was never fat was he?



The murder, the first significant Mafia killing in nearly seven years, came as Bocchino, 73, started his car parked in the 1200 block of Mifflin Street. He was shot in the head and neck at close range. Police found him a little after 8 a.m., slumped over the front seat of his maroon-topped white Buick.

After the shooting, a heavyset man wearing a black windbreaker with the hood pulled up around his head was seen running from the scene east on Mifflin and then south on Camac Street, investigators said.

Before he started taking steroids and overdoing it in the tanning salons he was chubby enough.

So as far we know, Joey never killed anyone himself?

The two hits in which he was suspected to pull the trigger (Scarfo Jr. and Stanfas kid)

To his credit I dont know how the fuck Scarfo Jr. didnt die with that many shots at that range with a fucking machine pistol

I often wondered if dad egged him on to retaliate against skinny.

Just read Phil Leonetti's book. Scarfo Sr was egging him on to kill Merlino all the time. In code of course (Not hard to figure out though) telling him to look up the definition of Procrastinate and to stop procrastinating with the drunken idiot (Merlino)

Even these guys have a code of ethics or class maybe and trust me if you guys knew what Skinny was is about you would say the same as these guys.

He has dodged so many hits one way or another it's crazy .

This goes way back to when he was messing with drug dealers and his daddy was a soldier or underboss many wanted him gone and no one has done it but the Federal government and they still can't get it done .

They may have saved his life a few times cos he was always under the Feds eye and if anyone was stalking him I'm sure they bumped into a Fed or two.

Skinny just keeps getting lucky !!!

Yeh Scarfo Sr being the homicidal maniac/vengeful individual that he is most definitely egged his son on to get even....

Serp I don't understand what u mean "breaking the rules and going after skinny". Nicky Jr doesn't have the balls to do the job though, he not only wasn't a hitter but he doesn't have the guys or stomach for it

I don't know about him not being able or having the balls or the stomach don't be fooled by how things went down .
He is his father son and was with him every minute that he could he was the only one including Phil that was actually comfortable and enjoyed being in his person .

Now if Nick Sr. was not put down then things would have been different and Jr. Was not made yet .
Then he was a Luke so now you are bring a NY family into this .
It was crushed cos of the timing and circumstances in the N y families also .

That don't mean Sr. Did not try to make moves but Jr. hands were tied.



DONT KNOW HOW I DID THAT !!!!

Posts like this are hysterical.

Nicky Jnr doesn't have balls, guts etc.
He only did 5 years in the 90's, 5 more in the 00's and is now doing THIRTY YEARS but he's got no balls?

Ridiculous.


MORGAN: Why didn't you fight him at the park if you wanted to? I'm not goin' now, I'm eatin' my snack.
CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go.
MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.
WILL: So don't go.

Maybe it's me but, anyone who gets shot 8 times and survives fully knowing the life and then makes a decision to stay in that life makes him a guy "with the stomach for it" to me.

If you guys ever read George Fresolones "Blood Oath" book, he says towards the end that he was the one who was tasked by Nicky Sr. & Tony Piccolo to kill Merlino after he was released from jail. Of course Fresolone was wired and cooperating then, but he was put in charge of the Patty Specs crew, by the man himself, Specs supposedly was going to knock down Scoops Licata, and place Fresolone as his acting captain. History showed that Fresolone was placed in witsec and his operation was ended shortly after his induction ceremony. But had he not been wired and a rat the whole time, Joey Merlino was going to get what was coming to him for the Nicky Jr attempt. Fate just so happened to work out in Merlino's favor.

True and there were more plots that failed.
If Nick sr. Just realized that it was the 80 's for the Feds and the 30's or 40's in his head .
He had the entire family and girlfriends and wife's and associates knowing what was going on .
How a guy could know the life so well but be so far behind in the times having entire hit squad cruising the streets .

Agreed. I have just been ignoring the people that talk that bullshit. Keyboard warriors got a lot of nerve talking about they got no balls...yet the person posting would probably snitch on their mother over a 30 day stint for a sentence reduction
