I agree with Serp... I mean, Michael doesn’t need a button, right? Like who’s gonna fuck with a Persico? His dad was boss and one of his brothers is likely the new boss... maybe Allie real boss and Teddy as street boss.

Like, if Barney Bellomo’s brother gets locked up (if he has one) you think anyone from another family would try giving him a hard time in prison?

It doesn’t matter if Michael has any stripes to me, because he would obviously have a whole army behind him based off of his name alone. He can easily make one phone call to his brothers and have the situation handled. Now if the Persicos and their allies ever lost power then obviously it’s a different story.
