No. Considering he was a drug addict, and the stupid shit he did, he would've been whacked if he had no relation to Tony.

Being an addict is one violation.

Shooting innocents is another violation, and he shot the kid in the foot in the bakery shop. They would've had a sit-down over that alone and he would've been put on a hit list.

And at one point he actually admitted to Tony that he was better off ratting with Adriana. After she was dead and he and Tony got into one of their arguments. Again, something else that warranted him being whacked right there on the spot.


He did so much stupid shit, and made so many violations before even being made, it's hard to believe that he wouldn't of been clipped had he not been related to Tony.
