Scott, I am a recent subscriber of your show and I've read your reports for a few years now. For one reason or another, I disagree with a lot of your critics on here on how they've reacted to your stories, including the one in question here. I would like to see a lot of them own up to their own hypocritical shit-talking but its the internet so they probably never will.

But...if your reporting is consistently accurate, and you remain interested only in the objective truth -- it will show. No need for the 'empire' stuff. It'll make people doubt your credibility if they know your ego has a vested interest in what and how you choose to investigate & report. Maybe you were referencing Artie Bucco, I don't know. Is it about you or the stories?

Same with a lot of your naysayers. What's nasty about it is they're more interested in being right than what the truth is.

Please. You only praise him because he says what you want to hear. If he claimed the opposite all the accolades you mentioned would not mean a damn thing to you. So spare me the BS.

Scott’s one of the best. Who the fuck are you pogo. This dude has docs on Vice on History Channel on and on. You think they never vetted him. You think George Anastasia and Jerry Capeci who put him on his site and Phil Leonetti didn’t vet him. Name me one thing that makes you an expert and the authority over someone with his resume and history. I’ll listen to the Recent FBI agents who appear on his show and obviously share things w them and obviously speak to people still on the job. Your very arrogant bro

Did he just call himself the recognized number 1 crime reporter in America? Man that is classic. :lol:


Now let’s get back to other Philly scoops like Merlino’s fabricated dialogue with Nicodemo or John Ciancaglini being UnderBoss and
Faffy Iannarella being the Consigliere (the later scoops falling into the memory hole when the Persiano tapes came out).

Let me get the math right:
Merlino starts a Podcast, Burnstein 'reports' people are unhappy with him.....and this is laurels and sanctimony?
Reporting on the blindingly obvious isn't a scoop Scott.

Wiseguy had a great post. 9/10 of your posts are bullshit. One blind squirrel finds a nut and you act like you're proposed. It's so dumb. To reiterate peeps are surprised when Jerry gets it wrong. People are surprised when you get one right.

Keep us in touch on the empire.

He's posted about it many times starting from about February.

My understanding is Scott previously published that the NYC Families were putting pressure on Merlino and Philly over the podcast.

I "heard" the same thing independent of him a while back as well. Nothing specifically about being shelved or taken down, but it was certainly implied that the Genovese and Gambino Families saw his behavior as a disgrace to Cosa Nostra and we know what that entails. What I was told (I know who the original "source" was, who is 100% in a position to know, but I myself am not in touch with them) is that after the release of the podcast NYC Families were instructing members not to meet with Merlino or have anything to do with him.

Can you at least acknowledge I was out in front of this NYC/Merlino story when NOBODY else was and people like you were (continue) to slander me ?

At least give me credit for telling everyone the most compelling/historically consequential LCN story of the past two and a half decades 8 whole months before your boy Capeci did who you and others are praising.

Can we just agree this was MY scoop from the jump or will you and your crew of arm chair experts just conveniently forget that part ?

Scott
Did you deleted all your comments where this was you're scoop? Because I went thru you're post last time you made these claims, not knowing who you were. Looking to see if they were legit claims and didn't see any.

It's a very interesting story and you were leading the charge on it but it's not the most compelling / historically consequential story of the last 25 years, or even one of them. Come on, Scott haha.

I'll always give credit where it's due. I've done that in the past with you and your Leonetti book which I thought was great. I don't recall your reporting on Merlino being shelved/Borgesi taking over, but if that was the case, then I'll give you credit for the "scoop."

The issue is, with a lot of your reporting - and I say this keeping in mind how difficult reporting on a criminal organization would be - comes down to what is the rule and what is the exception. Speaking of Capeci, when he gets something wrong and has to do a retraction, people tend to be surprised because it's rather unusual for him. It's the exception, even in the more recent years when he's been "phoning it in" a lot. With much of your reporting, it's the other way around. You report something, and it ends up being right, and people are genuinely surprised. Getting it right is the exception.

Anyone who is surprised a made guy and a boss no less may have been taken down and shelved for having a podcast where he talks about the mafia, crimes he’s committed and goads the Feds the entire time is an idiot. Ex Gambino captain / current rat bastards included.
