Did Spilotro not fall into the same behavior pattern as many OC members: he became all powerful and thought he could do what he darn well pleased ?

Too much attention is always bad. These guys will get enough attention w/o going out of their way to attract more. When you begin operating as though you answer to no one, you're eventually going to have problems. Threatening police, forming your own crew and sleeping with another member's wife are all in conflict with procedures established by OC enterprises. But for some reason these guys just can't resist the urge to fuel their insatiable ego. Just an old story that is repeated over and over in OC.
