He has two daughters I know for 100% one daughter goes to Villanova. the second one might also.. ligambi sent one of his kids there also... it is a 45,000$$ a year school.. And both merlino girls drive very nice vehicle a Porsche chynne and the other an extremely expensive ride also.. Where does this money come from..??
Yes, but every mobster ever has been a scumbag to some degree, Angelo Bruno was a scumbag, Carlo Gambino was a scumbag, Sam Giancanca was a scumbag, the Rizzutos were scumbags, etc. Some to different degrees than others, but no mobster is a good person at heart. They are all opportunists, some more violent and physically cable than others, but all willing to use violence if necessary to get what they want. Some guys are just better at hiding their inner nature than others. Merlino is pint sized, and I don't care how much time he did, I doubt that he ever intimidated anyone with his fists. He may seem like he is on top of the world, but you have to remember that everyone in the underworld knows that his wife was running around banging guys in Philly and NY when he was in the can. As for his kids, I don't think that any amount of money could make it worth knowing that your dad is a common thief and your mom was/is a whore. Things in the underworld change quickly, around 2000 no one would have ever guessed that things would have turned south so fast for the Rizzutos. I am not saying that that is going to happen to Merlino and his cronies, but the last chapter has most likely yet to be written.
