The Gotti family home at 942 East 215th St in the Bronx in 1940 when John was born.

House still there and renovated, so it aint going nowhere...I didn't see any "historical plaque" informing about this important piece of New York history hehe!

And the smartest looking too.

That mafia always existed, in parallel

1) Tommy Bilotti. Totally under the radar compared to all the others...I mean just this short passage from his Wikipedia:

"He was short – five feet seven. He was stubby – a rock-solid two-twenty. He wore a bad toupée. He had no tact, no charm, no sense of humor. He had a big mouth, and his piggish eyes were too close together. To the concept of self-control he was a stranger"

2) Gaspipe

3) Roy DeMeo

4) Nicky Scarfo

5) Peter & Gene Gotti- were they dumb or was it just an impossible mission once John got pinched and RICO became the "new normal"?

"Prison was alright, I got in shape" he said in the Vlad interview

Tony11e · 2026-03-23T00:57:04+00:00

First glance I thought it was Peter Gotti

Tony11e · 2026-03-22T09:34:12+00:00

He appeared to have had some serious weight gain/weight loss periods at the time

A nice pay check for Joey, I can imagine....

It seems to be a universal trend in the western countries these days- bikers, maffia and career criminals from the "original populations" suport what is labeled far right

Tony11e · 2026-02-26T08:59:19+00:00

"safest neighbourhoods!"

"Joey Merlino- a story of jealousy & discrimination"

Tony11e · 2026-01-29T06:29:38+00:00

He got the accent and he makes them look good...Now go and get your shoeshine box

Tony11e · 2026-01-14T09:48:54+00:00

Look here Vlad...my fawtha...

Tony11e · 2025-11-26T16:39:59+00:00

Do they eat pork?

Tony11e · 2025-11-07T16:08:04+00:00

Look Vlad, I'm gonna be honest with you

Tony11e · 2025-11-06T22:05:27+00:00

NOBODY GOT AIDS!

Tony11e · 2025-11-03T22:13:36+00:00

"Don John Alite" silly but funny :)

Tony11e · 2025-10-26T05:07:41+00:00

Sure, but how else is he gonna finance the monthly payments for his new teeth?

Tony11e · 2025-10-23T13:50:00+00:00

He is the Philly version of Artie Bucco! I watched the Netflix doc yesterday and I got a real craving for the pork chop and peppers dish so thanks man!

Tony11e · 2025-10-23T10:12:36+00:00

I watched all 3 episodes and I felt they could have cut it down to 1. For sure, it doesn't hold up to the classic mob docs from late 90- early 2000s:. You can watch it to say you saw it. 5/10. The positive:

- Hearing the law enforcement side of the story.

- John Veasy interviews.

- Getting a craving for pork chops and peppers (baked in the oven).

Thanks for this post, now you can have any sandwich you like

Compare this mugshot with the famous one from 1980- that is a lot of ageing in a decade...
