I've posted this before - and I could be wrong as well - but I'm nearly certain that Johnny Chang was inducted by Merlino once he came home from prison in 1995, not by Scarfo. According to the Pennsylvania Crime Commission, there were 42 guys inducted by Testa/Scarfo/Piccolo from the time Testa took over in April 1980 until the last making ceremony conducted by Piccolo in 1990 (which was recorded by George Fresolone).

I uploaded a screenshot of those 42 names:





Obviously the list was put together with the help of cooperating witnesses, ie. Caramandi, DelGiorno, Merlino, and Leonetti. There was also a newspaper article that I've posted before from when Johnny Chang was coming home from prison in 1995 and the reporter contemplated which faction of the splintered crime family he would return to. He was named as a "mob associate" in this article.
