Whats the situation of Philly Mob?

[furiofromnaples]

I know that I asked for this or those but now im serious.

1)How much members?

There are some chart here that list over 30 made men.

2) it still have some weight in Philadelphia underworld?

3) They still report to Genovese or have ties with the other families operating in NJ?

4)There are more blue collars or white collars?

Thanks for the infos.

They have about 40 identified members total (active, inactive, in prison) which would make them the largest outside New York, who they still seem to have a fair amount of interaction with. Collectively speaking, it always been a more street racket/blue collar family.

There will be at least a few other members that are missing. In Mob Talk Sitdown 33 released in 2019, Dave Schratwieser stated he believed 15-17 new members had been inducted since 2001. In Mob Talk Sitdown 48, released in December 2020, Schratwieser stated there had been multiple ceremonies over the prior five years.

Was there a ceremony recorded by an informant a few years back?

If you would have told me in the early 2000’s when Merlino and the whole crew went away for more than a decade that they would be (more than likely) the last viable family outside of New York I never would have believed it. Ligambi did a great job of holding that family together and continuing to make people.

[Pogo The Clown]

In all likelihood Nick Oliveri is not a recognized member.

Tommy DelGiorno should on the cooperator list.

[Ivan]

Tommy DelGiorno should on the cooperator list.

He died a few years back.

They tried moving back into Atlantic City which is a big deal but an article came out not to long ago which said that Philly and the Outfit are on the “abyss”

I wonder how the family would be if Scarfo kept control until he passed away

Like the Persicos but the family won't be survive a long war and Scarfo jr had less parents in the ranks apart Piccolos.

[Don_Peppino]

In all likelihood Nick Oliveri is not a recognized member.


Pogo

Was he a Stanfa or Natale guy? Or some other reason he isn't "recognized"? And by chance, is there a connection to the Oliveri's of Pat's cheesesteak fame?

[Makaveli]

Why is Paul tango on that list? If ever a member, Surely shelved at this point.

[OcSleeper]

Because he's a member..

Nicky O was made when Tony Buck was the acting Boss, he was part of the Newark crew and his ceremony wasn’t recognized because George Fresolone taped it. He might have gotten recognition after the fact but I don’t believe there’s ever been confirmation of that, that’s why Pogo says ‘in all likelihood’.
