My understanding was that you cannot retire from the mob- especially after you were promoted to capo or to the boss. I thought that a guy, like Michael Franzese was the exception to the rule, and there were rumors that he had to pay his way out.
How would Jr have been allowed to retire?
In JRs case the gambanos would of just been happen to see the end of him.He wasnt a good earner he wasnt respected and Marino and corrozzzo were really running the family back then.This guy would of been a nobody if it wasnt for his dad.It was similar to Allie boy (who is 10x the gangster jr is)but scarpa was the most powerfull guy in the colombos during the vic orena war.Michael Franzese was making so much money he probably paid off the persicos so they just let him live his life in peace.He makes it out that he has to watch out when he goes to New York but Bullshit none is going to fuck with him he is just saying that to sell more books.
