It's not his restaurant. He was just a maître d'.
Much like most mob guys who claim to run restaurants, they don't actually do much work. They just put a chef's apron on or swan around the restaurant mugging it up with people.
They have as much day-to-day involvement in these "legit businesses" as John Gotti did in a fishing tackle store.
It's just a way to launder money or a front to show where their lavish income is coming from.
I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.
