What if your Uncle is an Underboss and he wants to make you a Capo? You wouldn't have to kill, you would just be making desicions. It is a possibility. Or, maybe you would just have mob ties. Like, you weren't really in, but you could call for favors from the mob.
In the book, "Murder Machine," the reverse happens: Dominic Montiglio's uncle, Nino Gaggi, a Capo in the Gambino family, exploits Dominic (a former Green Beret) by having him do the most menial and sometimes dangerous work, and paying him the grand sum of $200 a week.
