don't know if anyone can elaborate on this but I thought it was kind of strange... that joe perna talks and hangs out with ray wags.. I heard merlino and perna are buddies but still just seems odd.. a north jersey lucchese and merlinos "bag man" from south philly.
@dsbaloo - I actually brought this up recently and asked what the relationship was all about and where it originated from and to what extent they were involved with each other, etc in a recent thread and there were a couple good responses. Go to Page 1 of the 'Gigante Contract on Joey Merlino' thread and search for Perna (I posted the first question so go from there). But yeah, any other insight would be very interesting to me as well as there is definitely a relationship there. As I stated before, it's even more interesting given the Nicky Jr/Lucchese - Merlino/Philly Family dynamic...
