Who sought out a Joey Chang Jr for help? Nicky Scarfo Jr didn't try to recruit him simply because thats all the Philly help he was able to get. According to various reports of the day, and Philly members who claimed to have been around during the time, both state that Scarfo Jr had a couple of Philly guys willing to go along with his plot, or at least go along with him after he succeeded his supposed "take over". I don't know how true that is though. However one thing is for sure, Scarfo Jr had some backing from select members of at least 3 of the 5 families in NY and NJ. I'm not talking about bosses and underbosses here, but soldiers who he was friendly with, associates, and I think a few capos were willing to back Scarfo Jr. And Joey Chang isn't as immobilized as you may think.
