Could one more big RICO end the Philly/Merlino mob?

Post by slimshady_007 »

From the looks of it Philly doesn’t have a lot of made guys on the streets earning them money. To make matters worse their official boss is on YouTube shit talking the FBI & their informants. It’s not a matter of if the FBI will indict them, it’s only a matter of time. It’ll be interesting to see what manpower, if any, will take over after the Merlino guys get indicted.

Philly has like 40 or 50 made guys on the street supposedly

Indictments are usually like what, 20 people?

Philly has a couple diff factions, so you would.need several indictments to take down each individual faction all at roughly the same time

The real thing taking out the mob here is a demographic shift

That's a nice free-range chicken you got there. Would be a shame is someone fed it some GMO soy beans.

If Joey and some or even all of his top guys go down it’s an absolute certainty that others will step up and fill the void. Philly isn’t on the brink of extinction where one case would destroy the whole borgata.
