When Artie loses the 50 g's Tony lends him and Tony pretty much gives him a pass. Losing that amount of money in real life would have at least cost Artie part of his restaurant if not his life. I know they were friends but Tony was also friends with Davey Scatino and that didn't stop him from busting out his sporting goods store. Also this is my first post here on the site but have been following it for years.
Tony didn't lose the $50k though, he got Furio to collect it from the French guy in exchange for Artie clearing his tab at his restaurant which was a about $3-5k.
