And I am not attacking you EVL. But when you are wrong, you are wrong.

As I have said before, I find your cosa nostra blog, to be one of my favorites to read. You just seem to be a little hard headed, thats all.

As an aside...Sonny Blackstein from across the pond...yet another reputable source with sources IN PHILLY, in regards to Joey's status...

Underworld sources in South Philly tell the Mob Insider that Ligambi is the syndicate’s current consigliere and Borgesi “might be able to get his stripes back as a capo or Ligambi’s replacement in his old post in the future, but for now, he’s merely a soldier.”

The sources peg Joseph (Skinny Joey) Merlino, convicted with Georgie Boy back in 2000, as boss of the crime family, ruling from afar in South Florida, relying on street boss Steven (Handsome Stevie) Mazzone and underboss John (Johnny Chang) Ciangalini to handle day-to-day affairs in Pennsylvania.
