So merlino is acknowledging the mafia? He said Natale got made. Did he say he's made? That could be a problem with other family's. The old secret society, can't identify yourself as a made guy unless another made guy introduces you. Where do they film the youtube show? In Philly or florida.

Don’t think it will be a problem saying Ralph is made. It’s known from his testimony and book

He didn't say anything about Natale's status in LCN, at least I heard.

It’s 2023, I really don’t think anyone cares about the secret society… the secret is out.

It’s crazy to me they fly back and forth from Boca to Philly week to week. I think snuff flys down for the day and flys right back

They showed video of them at an Eagles tailgate a few weeks ago. Joey still goes to Philly. He's such a celebrity. lol. Everyone taking pics with him. He's either the Gotti of our day or completely out of the life now. I'm leaning toward the latter.
Glick told author Nicholas Pileggi that he expected to meet a banker-type individual, but instead, he found Alvin Baron to be a gruff, tough-talking cigar-chomping Teamster who greeted him with, “What the fuck do you want?”

I’d bet guys are giving him cash every month just for principle, I highly doubt he has his hands in anything directly these days.

I don't think people hand out money on principle. There will always be some John Rubeos running around. But no made guys are running up to him to give him an envelope.

Joeys guys are different than everyone else. Id bet that Lance, Johnny Chang, and whoever is still o the street are still giving Joey something. If it was anyone else , in another city and different crew I’d say otherwise

Merlino only said:

1. He met Natale in prison
2. He always knew him as a "bartender"
3. He was a drug dealer and flipped after being in prison (on later charges) less than 2 weeks
4. Merlino did mention a couple names (Georgie and Marty -- Borgesi and Angelina) and that Natale lied on the stand about them meeting at Merlino's grandmother's house. Merlino said she sold it to a Chinese family 3 years before Natale said the meeting took place and they subpoenaed the Chinese father, who testified on the stand that it was impossible that Merlino met Natale there.
5. Joey basically said he was a habitual liar. Claims Natale also said he knew who killed Jimmy Hoffa and that he fixed the Ali-Liston fight.
