Chin didn't want his kids made; he preferred them to take legit jobs. If I remember correctly, he set Andrew up with that job on the shore after he got busted for relaying messages because he didn't want any more involvement with his kids in the life.
That's right, Snakes. Vinny Esposito ended up with his button because he was the bastard and I think he felt that it would make him more like a "real" son. He pushed for it and Chin let it happen. There was no need for the kid to feel that way though. By all accounts, Chin treated him just like the rest of his kids.
He's inactive today, and he's still only in his forties, which tells you a lot. He's a good kid who never should have gotten involved. His father's name will carry weight in that family for as long as there's an American Mafia, so they cut him loose on good terms. He's still a big shot at SEBCO, though.
