Joseph Salvatore "Skinny Joey" Merlino
Joseph Salvatore "Skinny Joey" Merlino (born March 13, 1962) is an American mobster believed to be the boss of the Philadelphia crime family. He rose to power in the mid-nineties after he allegedly fought a war for control of the criminal organization. He led the crime family in gambling, loan sharking and extortion. In comparison to other traditional mob bosses who shunned the limelight, Merlino interacted regularly with the media and the public. He is the son of deceased Philadelphia crime family underboss Chuckie Merlino.
In 2001, he was convicted of several RICO charges including racketeering, illegal gambling and extortion. Merlino was sentenced to 14 years in prison and was released on parole in 2011.[4] Since being released from prison, the FBI and organized crime reporters believe he continues to run the Philadelphia-South Jersey Mafia. Merlino himself completely disagrees, claiming he retired from a life of crime. As of 2015, Merlino splits his time between south Florida and Philadelphia.[
