Ted - The poster "marine" may come off a little nutty, but what he's saying is believable if you were in Joey Merlino's orbit back when he was partying it up in the 90s on Delaware avenue and in Margate. It was hard not to see him out because he was constantly at all the hot spots and he was treated like a celebrity.
Point is, there are a bunch of incidents like this. Using money that wasn't his, taking jewelery off of people, having his goombah's rough people up for no good reason. Some people on this board likely witnessed his antics first-hand.
As for whether he is boss, if he still is, then our FBI/Police are really off their game because that money kicked up to him just doesn't magically appear without any kind of paper trail, delivery/courier service, etc. Not in this day and age; especially if they are watching him like a hawk.

What the hell are you talking about?
I seriously doubt Merlino had someone's head cut off and flushed down a toilet (if for no other reason than that a human head won't fit down a toilet). It's probably just rumors made up on the street by Merlino's people or fanboys. Then again, I don't the details of Merlino's past, so if you have any proof I will admit being wrong.
Ted I don't think he meant it literally.... they probably gave him a "swirly" they probably pulled his head up n down up n down playing gangster...after watching some gangster movies they got the Idea. I don't think they could afford a lion like sonny black to intimidate people
