phil was made in 86 and by 87 was in prison doing like 40 yrs joey merlino gets made in 1992 by stanfa so it wasnt that far between. scarfo close the books once he went to jail in 87 and merlino trys to kill scarfos son in 89 so i dont think scarfos care takers where thinking of even inducting merlino good thing the gambnos put stanfa in position
