When a boss retires

[Eddie mush]

When a good boss(kept the family in tact , did his time wen he had 2 , mde new guys wen necessary etc.) just decides to retire like baby shacks does ge still receive aNy tribute money to help or is it over??

[Snakes]

I am not entirely sure but I tend to believe that if they need money they wouldn't retire in the first place.

When Alfred polizzi stepped down as Cleveland’s boss he still had a hand in some pies , the vegas skim for example

I guess every individual case is different. Some say they are retired, but really aren't. I would imagine if a boss from a big crime family wanted to totally retired, and didn't have gambling or drug habits, probably should have more than enough money to live the rich life for the rest of there life.

What is this, the Navy? Typically, a boss has two options in retirement: death—natural or not—or the can. In the situation it’s the latter, they still have their fingers on the pulse, which has been proven true down through the years

death—natural or not

...prison, deported. Hyman Roth is the only one left, because he always made money for his partners.

What about John DiFronzo not dead or in prison. There are alot of guys near 90 or above that are not active. I don't know whether they call it retirement or not. As with bosses saying their retired, but really still the top boss there are examples. I don't believe they can't retire, they younger members probably like that. Whether they use the word retired,inactive,or on the shelf for that I don't know. I'm sure they are members for life.

There were exceptions, Frank.

I've wondered this also. Not too many of them though. Like with Sam Decavalcante. He didn't die till 1997 which was 15-18 years after Riggi took over?

Joseph Bonanno and Frank Costello have managed to retire and live well until the end of life.

Easily has millions. Lived in an apartment above a laundry mat. He’s in his 90’s. He’s very wealthy.
