In this interview, Merlino opens up about his time in prison, why he says he never cooperated with federal authorities, and his views on “rat culture” in organized crime. He also reacts to long-standing allegations, calls out government tactics, and shares how he transitioned from legal battles to building a business and podcast platform.
The conversation dives into street code, loyalty, and the differences between reputation, reality, and media portrayal - giving viewers a rare look into one of the most controversial figures tied to Philadelphia’s underworld.

A proposed federal $25 minimum wage could cost millions of jobs across the United States, according to economist Rebekah Paxton of the Employment Policies Institute. The proposal would raise the federal minimum wage to $25 per hour by 2031 for large employers and by 2038 for smaller businesses, while also eliminating the federal tip credit. Supporters argue the policy would raise wages for workers, while critics warn it could increase labor costs and lead to significant job losses, particularly in Sun Belt states experiencing rapid population growth.
