hello Bean, he knew the life inside and out , he was very book smart. his ego would not allow him to be anything but boss, he did the stupidest thing killing a guy that was going to prison for life, he destroyed his brother and best friend john c, not letting them take a deal. ect. he did many stupid dumb things.. can not say he was not intelligent /. like a doctor who has murdered his wife thinking he is smarter than the law and won't get caught, brilliant man but did a stupid act..
