If the Westside had to clip someone, do you think they’d tag the guy who kicks up $100 a month from his zero rackets? Or Angelo Ponte who probably kicked up over six maybe even seven figures on occasion a yr?

I’ll rephrase, as a Capo, which one would you prefer to see do life on a racketeering murder bid?

I mean it was just a question. Seems like it was a mutual relationship. Protect his garbage business and he kicks up.

I just have no idea about his younger history if he had to commit any violence.

Dude, you’re my guy, no offence. You know me.

I was just pointing out that in the mob there are TWO types, tough guys AND earners. Ponte was an earner.

I have no clue really about either of them but a while back I watched an interview with the Vinny ponte and he mentioned his family having real estate and he seems like a total trust fund rich kid.. you know the ones who are 45 but act 21 and still borrowing like 250k$ twice a year from their dad to upstart some new great business idea that never works out, or profits.
