As was Jimmy in later years. In fact, Jimmy's "later" relationship with Bobby is what largely defined his reputation in later years. But, truth be told, Jimmy was much more than what was publicly detailed concerning Manna and NJ. For many many decades before that, Jimmy's real "strength" emanated from NY; Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, L.I., and parts of Northern NJ.

In his heyday, Jimmy was one of the more financially "capable" guys.
