I don't think so. I'll give you one example, the feds admitted that if he had treated his brother with just an ounce more respect, Nick would have never flipped. The more "evil" one is the more one must think of one's personal relationships strategically. He wildly misjudged his brother, wildly midpsjudged his kids, and never rose up much farther than loan shark. His testimony was comically bad, and in fact Mitch Halpirn and the other defense attorneys later blamed his awfully saccharine and unbelievable testimony for sinking everyone else.

As far as mobsters go, he seemed little more than a thug.
