Still Persico made some typically stupid mobster decisions, like taking bank-robber Michael Lloyd into confidence (and not to mention the "war") that ended him up where he is now and will be till he's dead. His own hubris.
yeah he definitely made some horrible decisions, the worst of which IMO was trying to run shit from the can. I understand wanting to maybe not be left out to dry and have some income for his family but w so many blood realtives involved he'd always have that. Instead he put his son, jackie deross, people like that in there and their best earners/best soliders basically got killed off
