Well how much does the Capo and the Boss make is my question?
Soldiers kick up 20% to the capo, the capo kicks up half of that to the boss plus 10% of whatever he earns.
I'm not sure what connected guys kick up.
I don't think it is as set in stone as that. For example, Vincent Cafaro testified that a capo could demand ten percent of the profits made by his soldiers on a score. He also said that he shared the profits of the Harlem numbers business 50/50 with Fat Tony. With unions it gets even more complicated.
Then you have Franzese saying 20% off the top of the gas tax scam profits goes directly to the Colombo family. The way Franzese tells it, when he was a soldier, he was personally giving Persico two million a week.
