Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
https://sitdownnews.com/new-lucchese-philly-alliance/
John Pennisi reporting he has been told that Merlino has been seen meeting several times with Patty Dellorusso since coming off supervised release. Also that Merlino and Scoops Licata attended a Lucchese Christmas party in New Jersey in December.
Dave Schratwieser had previously reported that Merlino and "several other made guys" travelled to an undisclosed location in New York in August to "visit a close friend":

Jerry Capeci also reported in October that Merlino had visited New York "once or twice" after getting off supervised release:

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
Looks like Joey isn’t being careful. Wonder where the Christmas party was at? And who from the Philly crew went
Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
This is an interesting development.

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
Vic put out word that he doesn’t want anyone in his family to recognise Joey as the boss, so it’s strange to see DeSantis and Dellorusso recognise Joey because they are Amuso loyalists.Though it is not surprising because I would assume that this relationship will be financially beneficial for both sides.Vic doesn’t recognise Joey because Vic was close with Nicky Scarfo in USP Atlanta during the late 90s.At this point Joey Merlino is firmly recognised as boss by all families.I wonder what Vic Amuso’s reaction to this will be

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
Probably because it’s too impractical not to interact with Philly at this point. Pennisi made it sound like everybody’s broke as shit and the criminal pie is rapidly shrinking. More money is to be made together then by themselves

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
If Pennisi says Vic dont want him to recognize Merlino, Then who do they think they were recognizing when Pennesi and Joe Perna meet Dom, Chang , Stevie, And to top it off Wags (who are well known to be under Joey ) ...isnt that Recognizing Merlino ?Chucky wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:23 pmYet his people were still regularly meeting with him; essentially window dressing.Little_Al1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:17 pmScarfo passed away in January of 2017.Pennisi flipped in October of 2018 and he says that during his time, Vic didn’t recognise MerlinoFrank wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 1:26 pmMaybe with Scarfo dead he now recognizes MerlinoLittle_Al1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:54 pm Vic put out word that he doesn’t want anyone in his family to recognise Joey as the boss, so it’s strange to see DeSantis and Dellorusso recognise Joey because they are Amuso loyalists.Though it is not surprising because I would assume that this relationship will be financially beneficial for both sides.Vic doesn’t recognise Joey because Vic was close with Nicky Scarfo in USP Atlanta during the late 90s.At this point Joey Merlino is firmly recognised as boss by all families.I wonder what Vic Amuso’s reaction to this will be
Quote from Pennisis blog ...
"Their first stop was to visit Joey Merlino’s main go-between, Raymond (Ray Wags) Wagner, at Wagner’s house. Wagner is allegedly one of South Philly’s biggest bookies
Next they went to a diner and met with Merlino’s underboss Steven (Handsome Stevie) Mazzone, consigliere John (Johnny Chang) Ciancaglini and Baby Dom Grande, introduced to him as a captain in the organization"

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
It is unlikely DeSantis/Dellorusso were meeting/recognizing Merlino without Vics approval.

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
Pure speculation on my part but, now that Nicky Sr. is dead and Jr. doing 30 years, I wouldn't be surprised if recognizing Merlino isn't an issue anymore.SonnyBlackstein wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 4:09 pm It is unlikely DeSantis/Dellorusso were meeting/recognizing Merlino without Vics approval.

Whats the point with both Scarfos out of play of keeping a beef.
There are no challengers to Merlino's stewardship, there's no one remotely entertaining a war. Pointless if theres money/connections to be made. Lukes have strong ties in Jersey, Im sure theres some overlap.

Yeah, Pennisi the rat knows more than Jerry and Dave, and people more in the know than him. hahaLittle_Al1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 2:17 pmScarfo passed away in January of 2017.Pennisi flipped in October of 2018 and he says that during his time, Vic didn’t recognise MerlinoFrank wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 1:26 pmMaybe with Scarfo dead he now recognizes MerlinoLittle_Al1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:54 pm Vic put out word that he doesn’t want anyone in his family to recognise Joey as the boss, so it’s strange to see DeSantis and Dellorusso recognise Joey because they are Amuso loyalists.Though it is not surprising because I would assume that this relationship will be financially beneficial for both sides.Vic doesn’t recognise Joey because Vic was close with Nicky Scarfo in USP Atlanta during the late 90s.At this point Joey Merlino is firmly recognised as boss by all families.I wonder what Vic Amuso’s reaction to this will be

Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
How the fuck does he know this
Re: Merlino meeting with Lucchese administration
Maybe he only holds so much sway in prison for life and in his 80s and DeSantis and Dellorusso make those decision and run the show on the streets.Frank wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 1:26 pmMaybe with Scarfo dead he now recognizes MerlinoLittle_Al1991 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 12:54 pm Vic put out word that he doesn’t want anyone in his family to recognise Joey as the boss, so it’s strange to see DeSantis and Dellorusso recognise Joey because they are Amuso loyalists.Though it is not surprising because I would assume that this relationship will be financially beneficial for both sides.Vic doesn’t recognise Joey because Vic was close with Nicky Scarfo in USP Atlanta during the late 90s.At this point Joey Merlino is firmly recognised as boss by all families.I wonder what Vic Amuso’s reaction to this will be
