Most feared Philly made guy over last 20 years?

[HoagieNose]

Over the last 20 years or so, Which Philly mobster have you heard, or know , is the one guy you don’t want to fuck with. The most feared so to speak.

[TommyGambino]

From the Merlino era? Borgesi

[NJShore4Life]

Anthony Nicodemo

[chubby]

Even though he was in prison most of the last 20 years.. but just overall, Phil narducci, anyone who’s ever mentioned his name have all said how he’s the realest gangster in Philly, period...
from the rumors, Borgesi for sure seems to have put in a lot of work...
Stevie seems respected/feared..

Hard to say.. honestly phillys an odd family but it seems that literally most of not all of their made guys have done work, or participated in it in someway...as opposed to a lot of ny families who have some guys who have never throw a punch in their life, let alone held a gun, but are monster earners... Philly seems a lot more tight knit... like when people talk about all the young Turks who came up around Joey.. they aren’t all just cosa nostra members from the same family, but they have legit all been best friends since they were little kids running wild on the corner... they have real friendship..

Dame Canalichio is respected. Agree with Phil Narducci and Nicodemo too

[GaspipeCasso]

I've always read the same on Narducci. I wonder who they would use nowadays if some work had to be done

[Chucky]

Anthony Nicodemo

This.

After him it would be Canalichio, and maybe Grande for the more recent guys.

[SonnyBlackstein]

and maybe Grande for the more recent guys.

What/When's next steps with Grande's trial do we know?

Anthony Nicodemo

I would have agreed with this until I heard penissi say that Joe perna claimed dom was the one who hit gongs.. so that puts 2 for dom. Gongs and depietro.... I know nicodemo was involved in both but is there other suspected hits where he pulled the trigger??

Wow this is the first I’ve heard this. Dom would have been only around 23 at that time.

Canalichio and Nicodemo are the two hitters they have used throughout most of the 2000s.

Dom was allegedly in on the DiPietro hit because if I had to guess he was eager to prove his loyalty/himself to the guys due to his Father and also at the time he was under Nicodemo/was Nicodemo’s top running mate in the streets. Nicodemo brought Dom into the LCN fold as Dom was with 10th and O coming up in his 20s.

Nicodemo is in PA state prison coming out as an old man in his mid 60s for the DiPietro hit and now Canalichio and Dom are already proven and too high up in the pecking order of things for hits if I had to guess.

There’s going to be a new crop of younger guys they would use for hits if there are ever even any in the future, only time will tell. You gotta be insane to order a hit in these times with cameras on every corner.

There’s young guys involved with Philly looking to prove themselves and move up, your guess would be as good as mine on who they would use as the next Canalichio’s, Nicodemo’s, and Grande’s....

Yes I was going to mention dame too.. he has to be feared/ capable since they used him for a lot of violence/ collections.. and he had no qualms about baseball batting someone, or worse.. yeah time will tell with Philly.. to me they’re a very interesting family .

[CornerBoy]

I hope one of the top guys flips- will make for some exciting reading

[Rocco]

Joey Merlino ...all the guys you mentioned call him Diablo. So whats that tell you...?

[Pmac2]

Yep. Joey
