Great interview. In a strange way, Pennisi almost comes across as a nice guy.
I read a blog with Penissi where he was told the Lucchese’s do not recognize Merlino as boss of Philly.
Its also interesting how he says John Alite was in danger of getting hurt because he was showing up at NJ casino’s and elsewhere. He also implies that Alite got beat up at a restaurant.
Ive been posting about Skinny not being recognized by some NY families years ago and many many times , not just not recognized but disliked and also hits put out on him .Now of course a few years back it came out . But it just goes to show you how fucked up the life is when New York they cant get a hit done on a Philly self proclaimed boss .
Same thing with how guys run there mouth to chicks ... i found out more top level shit in less then a week and 100% was all from the girls ...they just didn’t take how serious the stuff they were repeating.
The neighborhood knew as soon as it was herd who was who and what was what ... proving it was a totally different thing.
