Louie had to straighten him out so that wouldn't happen, but he's still not a gangster. Knows how to make money, yes, but not a gangster. Look, his juice came from Louie, and also the family he married into. Louie is gone, Paul is gone, thats it, he's walking around with a button in name only. If i had to guess, that button wouldn't even be recognized outside new England


I think there's a thread on here alluding to his button. Wasn't Gerard the guy placed in Fall River way back when? If so, those were some big shoes to fill that Joe wouldn't be able to.
