Exactly. And to relate to another thread that is going on right now, Profaci was a man who had kept his values from the old country. The Gallos mindset was all about money. A clash that is a prime example of how the US Mafia lost its values of honor and respect during an era when making money became the most honorable thing.


But if Profaci promised money to the Gallos and didn't keep his promise, how can he be regarded as somebody with old-fashioned values? I think one of the rules of the old mafia was that made members don't lie to each other. Profaci lied to the Gallos about the reward, so he asked for it.
