Philly Mobster 'Skinny Joey Merlino' may flip on Plugs and tell story (video)
[Buffalo Chronicle] The innermost circles of the American mafia are abuzz. The Boss of the Philly mob — ‘Skinny Joey’ Merlino — is taking a victory strut, hobnobbing around the highest echelons of old-time mafia folk, mostly in Florida, describing what may have been the heist of the century: the 2020 presidential election.

The feat is drawing praise from far-flung corners of the Italian American business community, which sees the thanks of a grateful administration as key to the revival of the community’s political influence.

But an associate says that Merlino might just be willing to flip on Joe Biden and the Pennsylvania political operatives who ordered up some 300,000 election ballots marked for Biden. The source alleges that Merlino and a lean team of associates manufactured those ballots at a rate of $10 per ballot — a whopping $3 million for three days of work. They were then packaged into non-descript cardboard boxes and dropped off outside the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Sources who spoke to The Chronicle on the condition of anonymity say that Merlino picked up those ballots from two private households where a trusted handful of associates were busily marking ballots with Sharpie markers. They were paid more than $1,000 per hour, often producing thousands of ballots every hour for more than 60 nearly-consecutive hours.

The ballots were purchased in cash.

#3 Will his future be Whittaker Chambers or Jimmy Hoffa? If this is true, then I hope he has a very loyal crew.

#8 Not just the Philly mob. Look at the South Philly Judge of Elections who was caught convicted and sentenced for taking bribes from multiple Democrat candidates to literally stuff ballot boxes a couple years back. Sentenced in May 2920: Domenick Demuro
