Free Like A Bird Once Again: No More Federal Oversight For Skinny Joey, Philly Mafia Don Let Off Parole

[Ivan]

Ligambi didn’t outright give an interview to Philly Magazine, he thought he was doing The Geator a favor by meeting this guy from the magazine who then quoted him in his article. Uncle Joe was just doing a favor for The Geator and it backfired. Supposedly he wasn’t too happy about it either.

Can't believe Blavat is still around. He's like 40 in that Bruno funeral video and that was 40+ years ago.

The official Philly Cosa Nostra disc jockey. Weird.

and he drives a car with his picture on it.



He ate dinner at a neighborhood restaurant every Monday during 2020's outdoor dining boom. Everyone in his party was low key like every other restaurant patron while Blavat laughed uncharacteristically loud. His attention seeking is what made me notice him and his car, I had to ask who he was; I guess he owns a dealership or something.

Let’s be real though…The Philly Mob or like I say the Philly Gang hasn’t really or hasn’t been La Cosa Nostra since I guess Stanfa was the last real don even though he did a shitty fucking job and allegedly or apparently made Veasey but I dont believe that…its blow hard shit, Stanfa was from Sicily he’d never allow it.

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

Ligambi wasn't low key at all or all that smart either. Just incredibly lucky like Merlino.


Pogo

How so? He got arrested one time and beat the case?
I think he operates low key and smart to be not get caught on very little wiretaps.

Pure luck as he was cought on a wire with Massimino and Staino talking about the video poker business. Massimino and Staino both went down and he lucked out with a hung jury. Not to mention all the informants he delt with (Caprio, Monacello, Stefanelli, etc)


And he was hardly low key. He was constantly out and about and in the press. Going to Merlino's trail with a crew of wiseguys around him, going to mob funerals and weddings with a crew around him, ordering several high profile murders, showing up to the funeral of the murdered Johnny Gongs with wiseguys around him, talking to reporters, etc.


He may have been low key compared to Scarfo and Merlino but in the 2000s he was the most covered Boss in the US with the exception of Massino (because of the Donnie Brasco tie in).

Also , Ligambi was on a all Mafia baseball team with a lot of pictures taken , thats not considered as low key, Very high key, could you picture Benny Squint playing like that

see a Genovese Family softball team would never work because no one would know what position anyone is playing

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.

Does Ligambi have anything legitmate?

[Wiseguy]

Does Ligambi have anything legitmate?

I remember reading he had some interests in a towing company and real estate. Up to 2011 he had that $50k a year no-show with Top Job Disposal before the indictment.

That's it? 50k/yt which is probably gone now since the trial. I guess he can consider himself retired collecting a pension now? Why doesn't he just say he's a reddit day trader

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.

[NJShore4Life]

You guys do realize that it’s just a neighborhood softball team of guys from the neighborhood, there’s regular guys on those softball teams that have nothing to do with the life that couldn’t even kill an afternoon.

It’s 100% not a “South Philly Mob” Softball team. Never was and never has been.

In the year 2021 it’s not uncommon for guys to have social media.

You would be surprised at some of the guys who are on social media because it’s a normal thing that everyone does in society in general.

For instance, Johnny Chang and Damion Canalichio both have low key Instagram accounts, both pretty serious guys that are well respected across the boards by everyone.

He wasnt a real La Cosa Nostra from the Angelo Bruno death; Stanfa was just a puppet of NY. You can say what you want of Uncle Joe but when was street boss stabilized the family,restored the relations with NY and the independent bookies that stopped working with the mob because Merlino didnt paid the gambling debts.
