I honestly don't think those guys ever retire. Think about it, you got guys kissing your ass and handing you money, would you retire? Do I think he's out clipping people, scaling building robbing diamonds and jewels? No. I imagine he will offer some guidance and listen to certain issues. He's a classic old timer who still cares about what he helped build. As far as blind, I know his son made a huge stink a few years ago when the Feds put him in a half way house and treated him like trash. He's old, like the rest of us we all fall apart a little. Benny is a smart man though! He ran most of their operations which required a lot of brains and mediation skills at the same time! Remember also he took a few petty pinches early, however it took a greedy Rat and a LONG time for him to get into serious trouble! Like I said just a shrewd, sharp guy. Cranky little prick too though!
