I always thought it was bullshit, hilarious, but bullshit nonetheless, when the Colombos were charged with "extorting" the Gambinos for the cost of Walter Samperi's medical bills. Of course the Gambinos should've paid, it was one of their guys who fucked Samperi up. Samperi must've not been much of an earner. I question whether the Colombos had enough money in their coffers (remember the secret mob banks I inquired about in another thread?) but even if they did, I could see why they expected the Gambinos to pay.
