I guarantee the case against Merlino is tighter than a Nun's Tuna. The Feds wouldnt risk Merlino beating them at trial yet again. I bet you hear and see Joey committing crimes as evidence.

I also bet Joey is kicking himself right now wishing he just stayed to committing crimes with his crew of close childhood friends in Philly and did not "branch out" with NY LCN guys as he did from reading this indictment. Hindesight is 20/20.

I also bet this was a part of them sending down Nicky Skins to speak with Merlino back in 2011/2012.
