My understanding is Scott previously published that the NYC Families were putting pressure on Merlino and Philly over the podcast.

I "heard" the same thing independent of him a while back as well. Nothing specifically about being shelved or taken down, but it was certainly implied that the Genovese and Gambino Families saw his behavior as a disgrace to Cosa Nostra and we know what that entails. What I was told (I know who the original "source" was, who is 100% in a position to know, but I myself am not in touch with them) is that after the release of the podcast NYC Families were instructing members not to meet with Merlino or have anything to do with him.

He's posted about it many times starting from about February.

Let me get the math right:
Merlino starts a Podcast, Burnstein 'reports' people are unhappy with him.....and this is laurels and sanctimony?
Reporting on the blindingly obvious isn't a scoop Scott.

Wiseguy had a great post. 9/10 of your posts are bullshit. One blind squirrel finds a nut and you act like you're proposed. It's so dumb. To reiterate peeps are surprised when Jerry gets it wrong. People are surprised when you get one right.

Keep us in touch on the empire.

Did he just call himself the recognized number 1 crime reporter in America? Man that is classic.


Now let’s get back to other Philly scoops like Merlino’s fabricated dialogue with Nicodemo or John Ciancaglini being UnderBoss and
Faffy Iannarella being the Consigliere (the later scoops falling into the memory hole when the Persiano tapes came out).

Clown show .

Lol

Scott’s one of the best. Who the fuck are you pogo. This dude has docs on Vice on History Channel on and on. You think they never vetted him. You think George Anastasia and Jerry Capeci who put him on his site and Phil Leonetti didn’t vet him. Name me one thing that makes you an expert and the authority over someone with his resume and history. I’ll listen to the Recent FBI agents who appear on his show and obviously share things w them and obviously speak to people still on the job. Your very arrogant bro

[Pogo The Clown]

Please. You only praise him because he says what you want to hear. If he claimed the opposite all the accolades you mentioned would not mean a damn thing to you. So spare me the BS.

Revisionist history my man , pogo .

I was being slandered for 8 months on this story .

“Blip” ?

You just exposed yourself bro ! Ignorance is bliss I guess .

Half of his forum is a complete and utter clown show .

As I’ve written before , buckle in fellas , I’m here for another 30 years doing this .. you’ll never escape me . I will be /am already am recognized as the no 1 crime reporter in North America and you guys post on here shit talking people you could never be in the same league with in a million years with your smug and smarm and dismissive attitudes while patting yourselves on the back to the cheers of like 10 people . Meanwhile , I’m building a fucking empire.

But you do you pogo , wiseguy , Sonny etc . Let’s see how that works out for you fellas .


Scott

.god bless him and he’s def the GOAT but Capeci is on the way out . Dude Is 80.

Scott, I am a recent subscriber of your show and I've read your reports for a few years now. For one reason or another, I disagree with a lot of your critics on here on how they've reacted to your stories, including the one in question here. I would like to see a lot of them own up to their own hypocritical shit-talking but its the internet so they probably never will.

But...if your reporting is consistently accurate, and you remain interested only in the objective truth -- it will show. No need for the 'empire' stuff. It'll make people doubt your credibility if they know your ego has a vested interest in what and how you choose to investigate & report. Maybe you were referencing Artie Bucco, I don't know. Is it about you or the stories?

Same with a lot of your naysayers. What's nasty about it is they're more interested in being right than what the truth is.

He doesn't have a story here that's the problems, Jerry does, and he can't handle it.

here he is now calling everyone clowns and so forth, but he was scared to report joey being "shelved" (which he didn't, jerry did, Now he is trying to take credit for) because he was afraid of the backlash from this forum, those were his words. Doesn't make any sense. Guess he isn't scared of backlash from name calling and lying though.

[Brovelli]

End of the day why is there all this back and forth? Everyone is on this forum because they are interested in the mafia, everyone has the same interest so why this bullshit back and forth all the time among like minded people. Question Scott and them on reports for sure, reports have been questionable but as we’ve seen some have proven accurate. I just duno how people have the energy to argue about it all, it’s a secret society that until there’s an indictment or an informant we do not know anything for a fact. Speculate and debate but why sit around arguing about things that no one knows for a fact unless you’re in the life or are an fbi agent.

How dare they besmirch the good name of the greatest fiction author in the western hemisphere. And what's with the British accent? Who does Joey think he is, Sir Walter Raleigh?

WHY are you so jealous of Scott. maybe he got a few things wrong but he knowss more than most oc journalists and certainly knows a lot more than someone like you. he could give interesting shit to the forum but prob wont b.c of assholes like you. try being nice. highly doubt you're this confrontational in real life.

First, learn to use the quote function. Second, he's gotten a lot more than "a few things" wrong. Third, he knows more about making elaborate mob fantasy charts but that's about it. Fourth, my comment above was pure wit mixed with some Sopranos, not confrontational. Now mind run along and mind your own business.

i told you not to talk back. what has he gotten wrong? The sopranos? good use of yyour time to watch a TV SHOW over and over and over. if you disagree with him, politely offer your point of view. Don't borderline slander him. keep believing everything you read and all the government bullshit. im too busy to bother with you, keep quiet and limit your input to your stupid lists- stop besmirching ppl. Scott is in an entirely different category than jeff nadu etc.

[Wiseguy]

i told you not to talk back. what has he gotten wrong?

What has he gotten wrong? The fact that you even ask that question with any amount of seriousness just shows you are so ignorant of any of this, it is pointless to engage you. How long have you been on these boards exactly?

The sopranos? good use of yyour time to watch a TV SHOW over and over and over.

Who said I watched it over and over?

if you disagree with him, politely offer your point of view. Don't borderline slander him.

I was slandering him. There was no "borderline" about it.

keep believing everything you read and all the government bullshit.

You and others always talk about the government and it's "bullshit." Where would any of us be without the information that comes from the feds, either directly through press releases, indictments, reports, etc., or indirectly when the media uses them as a source? Take all that away and there goes 90% the information we all depend on, including you.

im too busy to bother with you, keep quiet and limit your input to your stupid lists- stop besmirching ppl. Scott is in an entirely different category than jeff nadu etc.

If you're too busy, than stay the hell out of it. Who are you, Scott's attorney? Nobody was talking to you anyway, bud.

[CornerBoy]

i don't have time to bother w you. good luck and hopefully you get the help you need.

[SonnyBlackstein]

Clown show .

Insults and deleted posts aren't an argument bro.

Keep being you. You have your fan boys. That's a win.
