Weird how they figure out how to make millions if no billions of dollars? aah, Franzese was college educated and he came up with the gas scam tax?
But for old drop outs like Lucchese, Gambino etc who came up with constant new ways to make money? it's a little weird how they figure out everything and you've gots to be good at math.
The whole thing is how strong you are and how much power you got and how fucking mean you are—that's what makes you rise in the mob. Every day's a fucking struggle, because you don't know who's looking to knock you off, especially when you become a captain or boss. Every day, somebody's looking to dispose of you and take your position. You always got to be on your toes. Every fucking day is a scam day to keep your power and position."
