If he's been the boss all those years, even in the can, he should have more than that. And I'm not saying he doesn't. But he went away very young and had a release date that guaranteed he'd be back on the street at a young age.

If Joe Schmo the Soldier from Philly comes home to nothing, that's one thing. It's like that everywhere. The myth about families being taken care of is exactly that, a myth, and it creates a lot of resentment. But not for a boss. If Ligambi was knowingly keeping the seat warm for Joey until he got out, he came home to a nice package.
