I figured that kind of defeats the purpose. Why even bother being a boss/captain if you're making that kind of legit cash?
It's not 1950 anymore. If you don't have a solid legit business showing real money, you're not gonna make it. John Gotti couldn't operate with his "I didn't get a button to open a construction company" attitude. Not that he made it all that far anyway.
