There is more chance of a Scott Burnstein article not referring to Joey Merlino as handsome and suave than there is of a mob war happening in Philadelphia.
You got that right. The Philly mob is almost nonexistent. It's gonna be difficult to prove a RICO case at this point.
The Philly Mob isn't "almost nonexistent". There just is a low probability of a mob war occurring there in the foreseeable future. There's a difference.
The reason why there's no war is because there's nothing to fight over. What are you gonna fight over? A book? Come on. This is a joke. Besides, most of these guys are legitimate today. They couldn't even get Ligambi after 12 years of trying. You think that's because he's a master criminal? That indictment was an insult to organized crime. Meyer Lansky must be spinning.
got to disagree here I agree the family really is a shadow of its self and is dysfunctional
but there Is a lot of everdince which contradicts what your saying.
Why would ligambi stanio joey scoops and lou fazzi dong meeting the entire Gambino admisnstration john Gambino alphonese T bobby v (danny m was supposed to be there but he got busted before the meeting) be doing meeting with these guys if the philly mob had nothing. Don't say it was old friends getting together alphonese was based in queens what would he be doing meeting these guys if they were a joke remember guys like alphonese were earning millions.
You can even hear the tapes they are claiming they are having problems over terriorty with the luchese family and decavalanctes that shows they have something going on
plus those poker machines they were big from that 30 40k a week
