I think when we're talking about an organization like the Mafia, a fraternity that you're sworn into, success isn't only measured by how much money you make or how many crimes you get away with. To me it's how true you are to the code of the streets and the organization you took an oath for. Michael Franzese made millions upon millions, but he bitched out and ratted, though he denies it, and walked away pretending to be this holy moly man of God. Lefty Ruggiero probably didn't make a fraction of what Franzese made, but was always true to the code. I have way more respect for Ruggiero than Franzese, I don't care how much money Franzese made.
