Money laundering. Or 1,600% APR payday loans.

And don't forget about the old dude who must be the butler.

Surely he had a butler. A behind-the-scenes type who takes care of everything but eludes sight. Like staff on a cruise ship.

reply

Yeah. Someone stealth who could be trusted to be a real amigo--say, the son of the proprietor in Mexico, where "you enjoyed my tequila, you enjoyed my women."

That was my hunch, in addition to calamari poaching and various pasta crimes.

"It's very difficult to say in any given case with olive oil exactly how many drops in a given bottle actually have Mafia blood on them."

So there's no way to know if you're getting the recommended daily allowance of Mafia blood. ๎€ท

He was secretly the silent partner in the Peach Pit. It was the perfect place to get rid of any "loose ends". It's also the reason Nat was so often giving away mega-burgers on the house. True story.

Most of it was family money, but he grew up with aspirations of being evil. NONE of it was illegal, except for the killing people.

reply

how was that 'murder' of his daughter never solved? i mean just asking around the cops would talk to the gang & they would tell them what happened.

It wouldn't even count as murder, since she was not the intended victim. That makes it manslaughter, in real life. Yes? No? I dunno. I used to watch Law & Order a lot.

reply

cool! thanks for the info.

i only watched vasquez law so my legal knowledge is much less...๎จ
