As for the quality of Chin's life as a mob boss, he seemed satisfied with it. One prosecutor said it seemed Chin got the most satisfaction out of the "pure power" he exercised. He would go back and forth between family in Manhattan and New Jersey. He would hang out with his guys at the Triangle Social Club. I mean, where's it written a mob boss has to go club hopping with a big entourage almost every night or blow lots of money on boats, trips, etc.

Chin was smart enough to recognize the time he was living in and acted accordingly. Even with his mistake trusting Savino, his run on the street was extraordinary. And he set up both his blood family and his crime family.
