Mob Boss Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino was arrested at his home in Florida this morning as the feds dropped the hammer in a multi-state, multi-defendant organized crime case.
Merlino, 54, was part of a massive roundup in which more than 40 members and associates were taken into custody. Indictments brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York offered a shopping list of crimes ranging from gambling, loan-sharking and extortion to medical insurance fraud and untaxed cigarettes.

So the government is again wasting tax payers money with this be
ReplyDeleteGlad to see we are focusing on untaxed cigarettes and not the terrorists...��
ReplyDeleteI hope he had fun fucking alot of bitches all this time he was out cus this is it for him.he's done looking at years in prison due to his record..no more pussy for you Joey !!!!
ReplyDeleteNo juror showed take in testimony from anybody who choose to live a life of crime and then becomes a informant . That's all the FBI relies on is rats can't build a case no other way so they run with rats who will say anything to get a shorter sentence
DeleteTrue that but once the feds have a hard on for you it's over!!!! They won't stop till they get you! That's how they play... he should of gotten out of the life and gotten a REAL job
DeleteHe had a Real job working at a restaurant. Also being a felon its not easy to go find a job that pays the bills .The government just continues to trample on this mans privacy they brought a case up against him last yr right before his probation was up. A case should not be made by a bunch of guys who turn government witness just to save there self. We saw how well last Philly trial went against uncle Joe when they relied on rats they couldn't get a conviction so they had to drop it
DeleteYea I know what u mean he had a real job and him being a felon it ain't easy getting a good job but like I said when they the government has a hard on for you they wont stop till they get you ..should of just retired like that rat junior gotti
DeleteLook at the last trial in Philly couple years ago the case was mostly built by a couple rats and it ended in hung jury and they figured let's not try this case for a third time . With the way guys rat these days I find it hard to believe that IF joey was involved in any criminal activity that he would be caught on tapes .Me personally feel its just another way for the government to harass joey .
DeleteLike i said before the feds wont stop till they nail joey for good..even if he is not guilty or didn't do anything there going to get him .thats how they are
DeleteJOEY GOT FRAMED ON THIS ONE THE FEDS HATE WHEN YOU LIVE THE GOOD LIFE AND THEY STRUGGLE WITH THIER PROBLEMS
DeleteITS A JEALOUSY THING WHAT THE FEDS HES GONEA BEAT IT HES NOT APART OF THOSE GUYS HES FROM SOUTH PHILLY DOES THAT RING A BELL FEDS

ReplyDeleteAs of June 10, it was reported by "reliable news sources" that Merlino closed his "posh" noodle house in Boca.
ReplyDeleteNever any mention of this tasty tidbit here.
With all the informants and rats dining in his eatery they never needed a dumpster for the scraps.
The 'Geater' even had his daughter bartending there and cooperating.
When Law Enforcement closed their investigation on Joey, he ran out of paying customers.
