Last time I saw him in person he waved at me with a smile, couldn’t have been more polite and pleasant of a person.

He also looks absolutely amazing for a guy in his 80s, if I didn’t know any better I would have thought he was in his late 60s/early 70s the few times I’ve seen him in person recently.

He’s seems to be really enjoying retirement as well the last few times I’ve seen him recently. He’s always laying out in the sun hahaha Uncle Joe , he’s aces.

Is it worth it though if one is smart? living your life in a crappy neighborhood in a crappy house, constantly worried about paying the bills, getting a beating or arrested for a 5K profit that will send you away for 58 months. might as well be a garbage man or a firemen, or in a union. Those guys are rich compared to mob guys who have no IRA, pension, 401K-- they might have 100K that is getting nailed by inflation year after year. a retired cop makes them look like paupers at least the ones that aren't actually, clinically retarded. Cops like Tommy Dades are an anomaly. Very sharp guy

This reminds me of when Frank Friel said "Faffy can be a very charming guy when he isn't killing people." :lol:

So of the guys you're run into, who was the least "aces"? Probably Angelina I guess?

The best part about Ligambi was the "make money, not headlines" shit while headlines were literally being written about him like every other week

Low key in comparison to what? The media coverage of Ligambi dwarfed that of any Boss on the street in the 2000s era. He was easily the most covered Boss during that period.


And there was that plot to kill him from Caprio with elements from NY.

1st time I have ever dared disagree with Pogo. Ligambi was and is smart and low key. Give the man his due! Plus, he was dealing with some wild young guys in Philly. No one ever tried to kill Uncle Joe.

However, you do have a valid point about the softball team. That one has always been high profile. Imagine Fat Tony Salerno as a catcher on the “Palma Boys Softball Team.”

No way.

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t even Feds that jammed him up at that cigar club down there, I’m pretty sure like 90% sure that it was fucking Broward County Sheriffs Tailing him that night that reported the meeting with Johnny Chang. They must have been so hard with that bust catching a flashy Yankee Mobster from the North! They’re probably still talking about that bust…..

As far as I’m concerned Merlino is a gangster but he’s hardly LCN. He had an instagram account. Enough said? His family is like a College Fraternity
Plenty of mob guys are on social media these days. Genovese soldier Salvatore Larca had a Facebook page, although he seems to have taken it down or made it private. As long as they're not posting anything incriminating it doesn't really matter.
Tony Mucci, Nick Cotroni, Frank Cotroni Jr, Frank Albanese, Donald Driver and a bunch of serious Montreal guys have Facebook accounts as well. Mucci even posts daily inspirational quotes.
You guys are missing my point. You’re giving names because they have membership but it’s another example of the changing culture within LCN. Nobody should have a social media in LCN.
I’m sure they’d be saddened to hear they didn’t meet your LCN requirements.
Do you think anybody who was a boss in the 80s when they were still successful would approve? Considering their declining power perhaps LCN is taking itself less seriously (which it definitely does now).
None of this shit was around in the 80s. It’s not like those guys weren’t all congregating and taking pictures with each other. These guys are posting pictures of themselves out to dinner or down the shore; they’re not taking a pinch for that.

Imagine the tik toks @TeflonDon would put out.
