Merlino Borello episode

[JakeTheSnake630]

I am almost ashamed that I am interested but did anyone watch the pattern Merlino episode with Borello's ex girlfriend? Anyone care to do a breakdown of what she said? What a complete mental patient Gene is. No worries if nobody wasted their time watching and are decent people with better/more productive things to do just thought I'd ask

[Pmac2]

ya I'm interested to lol. merlinos a nut. I want cliff notes

[PaddyWhack]

He was arrested again for beating a woman (Gene) ? I saw some photos of what was said to be the victim. Coward shit if true, which it most likely is knowing his history.

Yea I was aware of that. But wondered if there was more on what the ex gf said.

Can't believe I'm posting in a Borello thread...

There's a clip from the incident on r/Mafia. He's tossing her around as they appear to be struggling over a phone. Recorded on some home cam device. A punk and a loser who habitually beats and abuses women.

Interview with the girl Borrello abused. This guy is sick in the head.

She sounds like the proverbial women who picked up a snake and brought it into her home then acts surprised when she gets bit.

Lay with dogs...

I've no idea on this but wtf do you think you're getting when you date Gene Borello.

Did she yell at him that his stock broking career wasn't off the ground?

[RushStreet]

I watched her interview. She's the typical chick with daddy issues that likes to try to fix the Bad Boy but never can. So unfortunately a woman like her will always be abused her entire life by multiple partners or the same guy over and over.

BTW she's definitely not all that great. She would get stale really fuckin quickly as she has a fucked up face.

Yea it's definitely weird for Merlino to be so involved in this. I really wonder what guys in South Philly think. Do they really just have so much respect from him that they look past it and don't judge?

Merlino is loved in South Philly. It’s hard to explain, but I’ll try. Everybody in the Philly family who’s at the top now came up with Joe. I’m not talking just in the mob, but in general. These guys go back to elementary school. That creates a lot of loyalty. Plus, if Merlino doesn’t make his move against Stanfa in the 90’s most of these guys wouldn’t be at the top of the family today. Chang and Ligambi, maybe, since they were already plugged in (and in federal prison before merlino’s rise), but guys like George, Marty, and Steve? Not likely. Those guys probably have a dozen bodies between them and not a single one has ratted. They know that Joe will stand tall if charges are filed. He’s done it many times.

That said, do I think if you gave them truth serum and asked if they were concerned he may slip up and say something on a podcast that he shouldn’t the answer would be yes. But that could happen shooting the shit with your friends just the same as on a podcast. I think they view the risk as low. Now, if the Scarfo guys were more involved day to day I think they would have a problem with it, but by all indications, they aren’t involved. Most of them do their own thing (see Narducci as the prime example). They don’t give a shit what merlino does and he can’t hurt them anyway. He has no first hand knowledge of the Scarfo years, at least not enough to convict someone after 35 years.

Lastly, merlino is extremely charismatic. He’s a guy that just gets it. He reads people well. I think he understands human nature and how to play people, how to flatter them, etc. People also like being around him because he’s a fun time. He’s always the life of the party and people like being around that. It’s no different than a professional athlete where people like being in the inner circle.
