Serp, see Phil waited until the eleventh hour to see if he would get convicted before turning

Let's say he beat those charges, and he was the only one that made it out

Would Phil being on the streets be able to keep the young Turks Merlino & Mike Chang at bay?

Did Phil still have a crew whereas I know most of Scarfo's guys went down and they only had nick jr and cousin Tony who was old by then
