maybe on of our Philly guys can provide some clarification because I don't know the answer


I think we are talking different era's, and vastly different interests and crews here. I'm not sure that a Papalia and Scarfo would have ever even had the opportunity to meet, let alone do business with one another... Is it possible? Or course, But Scarfo was not an interstate, let alone international type guys. His rackets ran along the same "local" lines as well. Whereas a Johnny (Pops) Papalia was from Canada and heavily into big time narcotics trafficking. Two vastly different focuses. Also the Philly crew in general never really dealt with the Bonanno/Cotroni/Papalia faction to any great degree.

So my answer would have to be a pretty firm no.
