Technically, Greg Scarpa was an informant. He also got on the news because he got aids from the hospital from a needle, I think. Benny Geritano is not made and he was once accused of playing Russian roulette with his ex girlfriend and a 4 year old kid.bluehouse wrote: ↑Wed Sep 20, 2023 2:50 amI honestly believe this is the new thing now.Alot of active guys will start doing this in the future i think by 2025 we will have NY guys doing this..Greg Scarpa did interviews and this was in the early 90s if it was today i defiantly see Greg Scarpa doing podcasts and appearing on Vlad.It technically has started with NY guys Benny Gerantano has done a few interviews from prison and hes a non rat.

Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
It doesn't mean you are not right. It could be the new thing. But any made guy worth their salt and honors that life is not going to do this.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Sonny Franzese did several interviews before he died and Mike Magnafichi used to do podcasts with Joe Fosco, plus one with the Chicago Sun-Times.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Sonny Franzese was like a 196 years old. He didn't even know his own name. Michael Magnafichi was out of the life or not allowed back in. I know of like one interview Sonny Franzese did.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
You're right that they weren't active, but they weren't testifying witnesses either so they aren't in same category as Gravano et al. Another one who made videos was Tommy Shots Gioeli, and he was definitely an active member at the time. Hell, Joe Colombo himself used to go on the Dick Cavett Show.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
It’s the same thing as former outlaws of the wild west publishing memoirs of their exploits or doing travelling shows at the beginning of the 20th century. The lifestyle of a violent career criminal is falling into obscurity.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Hes on live right now. He makes a lot of good points lol. Its gold
Salude!

Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Made guys who never turned states evidence doing podcasts. Same thing. Merlino just has a higher rank. So smaller apples and a big apple.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Oh wow, guess no podcast for Massino.
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
I very rarely agree with anything you post so at least this is consistent. I like consistency

Its lowkey the best part for sure.newera_212 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 8:45 amYup, it's kind of fucked up when you think about it. Nothing is surprising anymore. On top of what you just mentioned, some other good examples are Guiliani getting hit with a RICO, and OJ Simpson being a NFL analyst on a sports Podcast . There's some new crazy thing every day. The fuckery never endsHired_Goonz wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2023 4:00 am I swear some times I look around and feel like I ended up on a Bizarro world, or entered into another timeline or something. There is just so much insane shit happening that would have been unthinkable not that long ago. Drag queen performances for kindergarten-age children. The Republican frontrunner for the next presidential election has multiple criminal cases against him and it hasn't affected his popularity. And now a sitting mob boss has a freakin podcast! What's next??
With that said I like this Merlino podcast. Merlino is pretty sharp and witty and the best part is, his facial expression never changes when he's telling a joke.
Salude!
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
Ok, I've seen Mikey Scars talk about this but now i have to listen for myself. Is it on apple podcasts?
Re: Joey Merlino is back in town
