Staggered over to the couch because you were full of food, or full of wine?

No doubt It's one of the many weakest moments in the movie. Kay dreaded him but she says, "I still love you, Michael, I always will." her horror
Michael spent a lot of time thinking of Kay even as he got married in Sicily Still loved her, his horror
She was deplorable too Abortion scene She didn't ask him to "forgive" her
She never understood nor supportive that he was a top Mafia boss, trying to become a "legitimate" businessman
1. She knew about the band leader's brains or his signature 2. She knew he was Mafia when she married him 3. Connie told her how many men were murdered along with Carlo 4. Happily enjoyed the unholy and evil spoils 5. Legitimacy was blood money laundering 6. When her bedroom was shot up suddenly dawned on her this Sicilian thing must all end
Hypocrite! If there was no shooting she would have continued enjoying the rich and powerful life
Nickel, can better elaborate however, he told me a story about a wake of a Buffalo, LCN member a few years back and If I remember correctly he said guys from Canada, had attended.
I would imagine back in the day it was pretty easy to go across the border obviously not as easy today.
Michael Consolo was a policy racket king and "money man" for the Bonanno Family who paid the price for "jumping the fence" during the vicious Bonanno War of the 1960s.
Thanks again, NYM, for another quality bio of an influential and shadowy guy. Kurins and O'Brien had an interesting relationship with him, which they wrote about in "Boss of Bosses."
I did read that book many years ago. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Not much has changed since the 1920s, the Golden Triangle is still the number one producer and nothing happens without the consent of the military and militias in Myanmar.

There is so little information compared to the US and Italy, don't forget the 2018 trial in Ontario Superior Court in Toronto was the first ever in Canada to target the 'Ndrangheta as an organized crime group.
Dutch police arrest alleged Asian drug syndicate kingpin Tse Chi Lop Tse Chi Lop was arrested without incident at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.(above).
PUBLISHED42 MIN AGO AMSTERDAM (REUTERS) - Dutch police said on Saturday (Jan 23) they had arrested the alleged leader of an Asian drug syndicate who is listed as one of the world's most-wanted fugitives and has been compared to Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
Tse Chi Lop, a Chinese-born Canadian national, was detained on Friday at the request of Australian police, who led an investigation that found his organisation dominates the US$70 billion-a-year (S$90 billion) Asia-Pacific drug trade, Dutch police spokesman Thomas Aling said.
Tse is expected to be extradited after appearing before a judge, Aling said, adding that his arrest by national police took place without incident at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.
"He was already on the most-wanted list and he was detained based on intelligence we received," Aling said.
Dutch police were unable to provide details about the legal proceedings and it was not clear if Tse had a lawyer.
Tse, an ex-convict who formerly lived in Toronto, has moved between Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan in recent years, according to counter-narcotics officers from four countries and documents previously reviewed by Reuters.
"Tse Chi Lop is in the league of El Chapo or maybe Pablo Escobar," Jeremy Douglas, Southeast Asia and Pacific representative for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), told Reuters in 2019, referring to Latin America's most notorious drug lords.
The syndicate he is suspected of running is known to its members as "The Company". Law enforcers also refer to it as "Sam Gor" - or Brother Number Three in Cantonese - after one of Tse's nicknames, Reuters reported at the time.
It was unable to contact Tse for comment on the report.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP), which has taken the lead in a sprawling investigation into the criminal organisation, identified Tse as "the senior leader of the Sam Gor syndicate".
The group has "been connected with or directly involved in at least 13 cases" of drug trafficking since January 2015, the documents showed.
I think that kind of behavior was too subtle for Paulie. Being greedy usually precludes serious thought other than what he'd do with the money he got. I'm guessing he got the money up front from Sol and Tatt, and just figured (hoped, really) he'd get away with it. Of course there was no way he'd get away with it, but greed blanks out thought of bad consequences.
