the mom tina was a piece of work. she blew millions of dollars like one of those NBA players who blew 100 million in 10 yrs.iverson,walker,hardaway ect. she never even paid off her house on long island when her son michael was making cough cough 5million a week..bullshit. but he must have gave her a good chunk of change in those years 80-85 never mind all the money sonny made. now also lets dig into sonny doing all that time. he went to prison in 1970 and was released on parole in 1978. i mean its 8yrs but go look at alot of other made guys. all them luchese guys around vic n gas all did 15 to 25 straight there back in the life all the scarfo soldiers who were kids did like 20+ barney b and merlino, both almost 15 straight. so then sonny goes back to jail for 2 yrs for meeting with felons in 1982 gets out 84. on and on its like this. he could have got his shit in order i dont understand. now i get why he was in no position in the colombo war he was shelved and i think vic orenas side didnt want any part of him either cause his son was cooperating. he also could have got his young son an daughter in line he wasnt locked up for 35yrs straight he was out 3 yrs here 2 years there. tina didnt help anything her house was forclosed in 1997. in any given month in the 80tys when michael was making millions and sonny was shaking down everything on long island she never asked them hey could we pay off the 100k we owe on this house. crazy. she was hot thou like a smoke. its very hard to find any pitty for them. its like they spoiled there kids to much. sonny could never get his shit together. when he got paoled in the 90tys he should have just got on some payrolla dn worked alittle. now i wonder how many yeard was he freed for in the 90tys. its not like they locked him up for that whole decade. they were violate him and let him free after like 2 yrs every time. thats on him for being dumb after the 4th 5th time
