I think we should create a "mob tube" forum separate from the main one, with mentions of YouTube stuff banned in the main forum unless it's relevant to something serious.
Does this make me a total killjoy and fun ruiner?

Franzese said this guy isn't actually his lawyer. He says the guy worked for his wine company awhile back, but they're no longer involved in any way.newera_212 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 9:35 pmLol - that's pretty good.

Like, it’s probably some kid who graduated top of their class and was all excited to get hired by the FBI with their family all proud, and now they have to spend hours watching Joey insult bums like Gene Borello and ramble on about football. I guess it could be worse.
Interesting. I haven't heard a ton of Alite's tales, but I have heard him say some pretty outlandish things - and in those, I've never heard anything about Merlino before. Funny this story comes out now when Merlino's a hot topic within that scene. How convenient. In his defense a little bit, I guess, I have heard him say he was close to some Philly guy (forget the name) and it was one of the people that was killed when Merlino and his whole faction were taking over and trying to solidify...so it is possible that maybe...just maybe... the Philly guy had at least spoken about possibly doing something like this with Alite. Doubtful to believe anything Alite says, especially if it's new. The guy's been giving interviews for like 15'ish years, there's an authorized biography about him, and he's been on Youtube for years - all of a sudden he has new stories to tell?NJShore4Life wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 5:55 pm Then you have this broke scumbag lying clown making up the most rediculous science fiction fantasy tales known to man in a pathetic attempt at attention to help supplement his food stamps and disability checks while living in his sons basement in fear:

I loved Merlino reading the DMs from Franzese's lawyer lol. If I were Franzese I'd cut my ties and find another lawyer after hearing some of the shit in there. When the lawyer asked Merlino to meet up and hang out sometime, and tried to wedge in some mob credibility saying he grew up in Detroit and use to see the Toccos at the racetrack LOL. Pathetic.
Yea that's what I would say, if I got the response he got, too.TallGuy19 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 11:44 pmFranzese said this guy isn't actually his lawyer.

The problem with that Aliar 100% Fantasy Made up Tall Tale is that he made up that he met with the rat Anthony Persiano however the problem with that little diddy is that AP was in prison at the time for murder so there’s no way he’s meeting Aliar on Delaware Ave to give him a murder contract on Joey Merlino.newera_212 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 9:35 pmLol - that's pretty good.

It was ripped from an old video on Alite's channel:newera_212 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 9:35 pmInteresting.

Lol i never know whats going on when Mikey Scars talks about it on their show.
That is just banishing this content to a less visited part of the forum therefore less likely to be interacted with. End result killing any conversation about it because you don't particularly like it. Simpler solution would be to just not visit the threads you don't like. It's not exactly a massive constant barrage of youtube posts.
Yeah you're right but I dunno, just feels like a slippery slope to GBB-ization. We'll see I guess.Blunts wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 7:07 pmThat is just banishing this content to a less visited part of the forum therefore less likely to be interacted with.

In this instance it is more relevant given the uncertainty of Joey's current position and his brutal stance on all the other youtube mob rats.
Dante whilst I absolutely defer to your knowledge and local context regarding Alite. I have to admit that this story from him regarding the contract on JM is not the most unbelievable thing I've heard him say. I mean he obviously oversells his significance as a player in those days, but he was in the parking game in Philly and I'd imagine those guys tried to get any scumbag they could find to shoot JM in the early 90s.NJShore4Life wrote: ↑Sat Dec 09, 2023 5:55 pm Then you have this broke scumbag lying clown making up the most rediculous science fiction fantasy tales known to man in a pathetic attempt at attention to help supplement his food stamps and disability checks while living in his sons basement in fear:
