Re: Genovese leadership and their control of Philly
Scarfo had what, four made guys clipped during his time as boss? I don't see why he's labeled as some homicidal maniac, the other bosses were no different.

Thanks Chucky, how much influence did Saul Kane have with Scarfo during this time frame? Did Kane only advise Scarfo on financial matters or was he advising Scarfo on other aspects of the family as well?Chucky wrote:Scarfo had what, four made guys clipped during his time as boss?

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Re: Genovese leadership and their control of Philly
Yeah people dont realize cause they want to believe everything George Anastasia says but Scarfo did not violate any rules so to speak. And really nobody can say shit about Savlie because the boss ordered it. He was within his right to demand tribute from Riccobene so when he balked thats what happens. And whether the reason is good or not if the boss orders a hit than thats it. Scarfos paranoia may of led to Del or Crow flipping, them both knowing Scardo didnt fuck around so when they both fucked up they knew they would get it hence them running to Law Enforcement. But believe me nobody flipped becquse Salvie was killed, in fact everyone in Testas murder benefited monetarily and some got made down to Tore Scaffifi who was given 500 a week to run a numbers office as a reward for his role. So dont let that bullshit fool anyone

Testa overplayed his hand anyway, he thought he could get over on Merlino and it blew up in his face.

1) While GA is a great author and without his work, 75% of all Philadelphia crime family "common knowledge" would be greatly decreased, still doesn't take away that he's not always 100% accurate. GA appears to falls short when it comes to the family's Jersey operations both north and south.
2) Great point on Salvie. Crow recollected seeing Testa at a party and Leonetti stating something to the effect of "I'm tired of seeing this guy alive." Jump to years later, Leonetti in a documentary lamented Testa's death and strongly implied they were childhood friends (voiceover during a scene of two children playing with a fire hydrant in the street). I think in the end, they are all opportunists.

New article from Scott. Not much here but according to him, Borgesi is now a captain.

Re: Genovese leadership and their control of Philly
Chucky is south philly the only area in philly proper that they operate in? I remember reading that northeast philly has a decent italian population as well.
Re: Genovese leadership and their control of Philly
Brian, Merlino tolerated Testa sleeping with other women and smacking around his daughter as long as he did the right thing. Instead Testa embarrasses the Merlino's by dumping the girl a few weeks before the wedding and badmouthing the daughter around town.

Nicky,
Yeah they got a few things going on in the Northeast, but mainly South Philly as far where they live and where their "base of operations" are. They move around the city though, especially with the gentrification shit going on.
