How can you determine just how much of said blood money goes to the wives? What if a wife gets practically nothing? What if her mob husband has been lying to her all of the time they were married, telling her he put the life behind him? It is possible that some of these mob wives weren't complicit in their husband's crimes in any way, even after the fact. They really thought their husbands went legit, had money in the stock market, or whatever other lie he told her. That would make them entirely innocent. To release their info anyway just to make an example out of them seems pretty salty at best.
