There was a story floating around that a Pagan pulled a gun on Chucky Merlino, shot up his nona's house and that Scarfo and Co were afraid of the Pagans. Joey heard this story and blew a gasket, said it was BS and implied that the Pagans paid tribute like everyone else and that they were deathly afraid of Sal Testa and would avoid him like the plague and would make monthly payments to Yogi Merlino because Testa would make them nervous even when they came to give him $.

I don't know who is telling the truth but it is kind of funny when you think of a guy as highly ranked as Joey getting upset over what people on the internet say.
