Obviously when a boss gets sent to prison, he knows the rough monetary amount of tribute he should be receiving BUT, do they and are they able to hang on to that?

I know that times play a huge factor. It isn't the 70-80's no more.
I don't doubt that capos could plead there case that(lie) that it is very rough to earn in the current times.

I is also possible that the boss in there for life relents to the fact that he isn't on the street and shouldn't expect the same tribute knowing that others are doing the heavy lifting. Doubt this theory though. Quest for ultimate power is what led them to prison.

Persico may be a unique one in this, do to the fact his entire family is spread out within the family. Lying would be much harder.

Thoughts?
