Interesting regarding Stanfa. Initially Stanfa and the Merlino guys got along until Stanfa started getting greedy and disrespectful.
Ronny Turchi went to NY for a meeting with Lenny DiMaria and Nicky Corozzo whom he was close with from being locked up. He complained about the beef everyone was having with Stanfa and how he was extremely greedy and taking money from all the guys. They gave Turchi the ok for the Merlino guys to go after Stanfa. Thats how it started. im talking Turchi senior. He had the backing of the Gambino’s. I never knew that.
