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: Joey merlino and others busted
It's interesting that the Prosecutors in New York changed their minds and didn't oppose bail.
Skinny Joey' Merlino gets $5M bail in Mafia case
The flamboyant alleged head of the Philadelphia Mafia is expected to be released from custody Friday after a federal judge granted him $5 million bail as he awaits trial on racketeering charges.
Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino, 54, will be required to live at his Boca Raton home and wear an ankle bracelet. U.S. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman said Merlino can work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the local restaurant that bears his name, Merlino's, which he says will reopen in October, and travel to New York City, New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, including to attend a family day at his two daughters' university. Merlino is expected to be released from Palm Beach County jail later Friday.
Matthewman asked Merlino for assurances that he will obey the conditions of his release, saying he didn't want to issue a warrant for his arrest.
"Don't worry your honor, you won't," replied the unshaven Merlino, who was dressed in dark blue jail overalls and shackled at the wrists and ankles.

He looks shook up for sure and was motoring across the parking lot as fast as he could.

Re: Joey merlino and others busted
Agreed Pogo. He's a little twerp and his smile is gonna get rammed up his skinny ass at trial. 20 years minimum...and that will be goodbye forever to a guy who wouldn't have made Captain in any other mob family. The punk that he is. I can't wait to hear the tapesPogo The Clown wrote:Merlino doesn't look so cocky now. His trade mark grin is no where to be found..

Re: Joey merlino and others busted
Why is he a punk ? Seems to me he took over that family against all odds and from then to now the family has only improved. He's no rat he does his time and far as wiseguys go he seems to be a pretty good one for philly at least.JCB1977 wrote: The punk that he is.

You may be right, Scott was on the radio doing an interview Thursday and said his LE sources reported more charges are coming in another indictment for MerlinoJCB1977 wrote:

JCB, you're out to lunch, I don't get your disdain for him or Borgesi, did they not take the mob ethics class that the Pittsburgh guys did?JCB1977 wrote:Agreed Pogo.

My guess is he takes a plea deal to avoid a potential 20 year conviction...though if Jacobs thinks he can beat the feds in court again, he'll go for it, guy is a ballsy lawyer.
