If there are some people on here that know a lot about the Philly mob could you possibly answer this question for me. What exactly happened in the late 90s when Merlino went to prison, was it automatic that Ligambi became acting boss or what was going on from then until Merlino's release. Acting bosses? Ruling panel? Do you think it was even organised or just different factions.
Makes you think. Makes you think about the people in your life. And when I think, I think of Neil. If he were here now what would he say? He would say "John what's it about? What's life about... if you dont go through it as a man's man?". He'd say "Suck it up, take the fall do the time. That made you what you are. That makes you what you are. How long have we been around this thing of ours? This Cosa Nostra? 120 years. What's it about? It's about the rules, perimeters. You take the beating for a friend, you don't run, you don't lay down, you don't betray who you are. What you are.
