Joey was very smart he found a way out with money, fame, no prison, no snitching, and alive. What more can you say.

[MiasDad-dsiv]

Joey was so sharp. Retired, no more jail. Multi millionaire and still every bit of pull he'd have if he were a boss 😂😂

[BlessingsInDisguise]

If it was 30 years ago he wouldn't be on YouTube

[jonmullen]

How do you know that is even true.. Joey, as far as I'm concerned, is the man! Didn't rat on his friends, makes good money and is potentially walking away! Good for him

[chrislaverick]

Now do you think Joey even cares? You think he is still active or is OK with just walking away from it all?

[joseaponte]

Joey merlino probably doesn't give's a crap the dude had money hidden away and he made few moves he's ok with money, now by being shelf now it's take some heat off of him, I think he knows that life is over

[DavidTodd-cshq]

Thanks for always keeping it real anthony. Have yourself a great weekend. Cosa nostra. Davey boy.

[kesuya]

Good for him. He's out of the gangster life, chilling running a legitimate restaurant he started, with franchising potential... And he stood tall like a man and never ratted. Not everyone can say the same

[Lalayo]

Joey is doing a great service exposing the truth
When you get caught doing crimes
Do the time

[raymondsisto]

Bullshit. Nobody in Philly has the balls to do that. Joey is and will always be the boss

[EthanHarvey-zz]

Joey's one of the very few as close to a Happy Ending/Success story as you hear of / can get in that life especially as high as he was & how well known n publicized his ranking was etc. Dude did some time & ultimately never had to snitch n didnt get whacked left in good standing with money and now family happily retired down in Florida and can walk around freely.

[Kevin-xbih]

Just watched you on Netflix I binged on all 3 episodes, awesome series 😊

[Kevin-Molloy]

May well be true but I think it's wise not to immediately trust what articles claim. Same with everything.

[vsupreme]

Didn't the Luchesses straight up say they don't recognize Joey? I do agree that 30 years ago Joey would've been in the morgue.

[FrankKnights]

Anthony i think sir your the most genuine guy out of all these mafia YouTubers

[geoffreyechevarria]

He took it down now but he had put a short up of one of his videos. In it he tells his guest “what do you want ti smoke crack” “ go ahead what do we care.” When I heard it I was shocked. This is a boss telling a guy to basically tie up in front of him. The country is watching. Your kids and grandkids are all watching. And here’s Joey telling his guest to smoke some crack.

[Hitemup_NY-NJ]

What are you taking about, Joeys the boss, you understand, He's a boss

[patrickmcintyre]

joey dont give a dam his boys will stillsend himenvelope

[natemyers]

Joey probably don't give af. He was done with the mob soon as he did that podcast and Vladtv interview.

[sxejam]

It's a shame this wasn't 30 years ago.
