On paper? There's not a New York boss with a tenth of the money that John Profaci can "show." And I seriously believe that he doesn't have a single shady thing going on in his life.

And with the kind of money that he inherited from his father (call Joe Profaci greedy, but he had the foresight to launder his money before the Feds concentrated on such things), he'd have to be crazy to even cheat a nickel on his taxes. They're fucking loaded.


110% agreed. Colavita is an international brand name and does $36.8 million per year (as of 2015) as a "small, family owned business" in the United States alone. Another Italian who was smart and put his illegal gains into a completely legitimate business through connections in Sicily and made a fortune in America.


As Uncle Charlie used to say, "Never get into pissing matches with skunks."
