It's all bullshit anyway. With all of the rats who've gone on to testify and write books, when's the last time any of them ever claimed that someone actually collected on a so-called open contract? Exactly never.

If you're a made guy and they tell you to kill someone, you do it. You don't ask why or for how much, or they'll turn around and kill you. That's the whole point of having a hierarchy to begin with.
