I wouldn't use Del Balso’s committing petty crimes as proof that he's broke. Mobsters never stop committing petty crimes. Undercover FBI agent Jack Garcia would talk about how Gambino captain Gregory DePalma would stuff cheap items in his underwear when they would go to the store. He would be like, "hey, whatta you doing?" DePalma would say, "hey, what can I say, that's what we do!"
