Brings up a good point. I think the Korean laundry owner was legit; he saw a "drive" in Cousin Tony, and he figured it'd be a good investment opportunity for himself. What he didn't figure on was Cousin Tony shirking away from REAL work, and all that it entails. That 12 grand he found (easy money) reminded him of the old days (notice how fast and HOW he went through it), and he wants that lifestyle again. Thus, he's gonna get back into "the life".
