If the scarfo guys wants to start a war it will be suicide, new york is backing ligambi and merlino and the scarfo guys is out numbered and out gunned...you forget that theres a whole shit load of guys thats loyal to merlino that wasn't working while he was away...its in the scarfo guys best interest to follow orders, theres nothing wrong with asking for a promotion but lets not get carried away
Where's your proof that NY are backing Merlino? Chin Gigante wanted him killed at one point but thought it best to just sever ties with Philly. You have the Nicky Skins tapes which at best show that NY Gambinos were merely cordial with Ligambi and his guys.
