Joey Merlino is highly respected. Especially now that he's a little more low key and done a lot of time . Also the old time New York guys Love guys "with bodies" on there resume..and merlino probably has in excess of 20 and he's gotten away with them all..Not to mention he's seems to attract big money guys and never rats and has a large crew of killers behind him


As far as lancelotti not for nothing but he never gets indicted and when he does the charges are dropped. And he pops up in every investigation. He's a smart crafty guy. Only guys i can think of with a career like that is scarpa
