Which mob bosses used the $25 monthly tribute aside from Joe Profaci?

I think that's only around $200 a month in 2020. If you're a made guy and can't cough up that much a month during the peak of the mob's power, you need to get a new job.

Gambino might have been asking for a monthly head tax during the 60s too.
