I've never seen any articles which referred to him as such. I don't know personal stories from others, as I wouldn't know either way. I was referring to articles written about the Scarfo family, said articles accuse Mark of being the one who threw around his families mob ties for his benefit. And it's been said on this forum that supposedly he was on edge after visiting his brother, Mark and that she pulled a knife on him, I don't know the full story on the matter. One of those assault incidents was after he and Tommy Scafidi beat Marty Angelina with baseball bats for refusing to associate with the Merlino's, Angelina is another mobster, I wouldn't really refer to him as an innocent. There was another situation of a brawl in an Atlantic City casino, but without knowing the details of that incident, which I don't know if they were ever shared or not, there's no way to tell if he was acting like a "tough guy" in that situation either.

But in his adult life, there aren't many stories of the such, Fresolone cites stories of Scarfo Jr mostly following the orders of his father from prison, before finally realizing that the Philly Mob needed an actual boss on the street in order for them to maintain their place in the world of Organized Crime. Leonetti also cites that Scarfo Jr mostly wanted to be left alone, still in contact with his father, but focusing on doing his business when left to his own devices.
