$250k liquid cash at his disposal is alot of money, especially with what Philly is currently doing. That's $250k cash after his house, cars and any other assets. His lifestyle is similar to Gotti's but Joey's not paying the steep NYC prices. The Feds want him in for life, if he was smart, he'd stay in Florida, do the restaurant thing for a while until the next best new restaurant comes to Boca (and it will), collect some gambling proceeds from Philly and stay under the radar. After 14 years, it's a gift that he's out. The next time will be much longer in the can...if some rat doesn't make a deal in the future and hand him up on a silver platter.

What's Borgesi's status? Is he still shelved for the time being? He's unpredictable and if he isn't allowed to earn, he'll get into something and hand Joey up on a silver platter when the Feds catch up with him.
