Gene was an idiot. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut. Get the Inheritance money 2 million, sell his family home, and THEN move to North FLORIDA.

Tony was not going to demand a piece of Gene's inheritance even though he is entitled to it via the rules. But he certainly wasn't going to turn it down, and was very impressed that Gene offered it up without being asked. But it still wasn't enough to buy his way to Florida.
lmao I love at how annoyed Tony gets at literally everything Christopher does by this point in the series. *Christopher breathes...* Tony: Do you have to do that? Christopher: Sorry, Ton.
Sucks Gene had to fork over some of his inheritance. I'd have kept that shit quiet and moved out of the country suddenly. 2 million dollars would be a hell of a nest egg in south east Asia.
Gene could never get out of the mob, but he probably could've figured out a way to get a Little Carmine deal where he could run a business outside of North Jersey. Hell he could've even disappeared w/ that kind of cash. Per Breaking Bad $150K was the minimum payment for going ghost in 2013 so that should be way cheaper in the mid 00s.
@@bryanwood8334 A made guy disappearing would be a big deal, and given that Gene already asked to leave unsuccessfully it wouldn't have been hard to put two and two together.

@Phony Tornado Alarms Reduce Readiness! He would have ended up like Tommy Angelo. Old and frail Tony would have sent Paulie and Silvio to whack him since they seem to be immortal
Saw Frankie Valli in late 2018 in concert. He was in his 80s and still sang solidly and beautifully. Band was great and his “Four Seasons” looked like his grandsons (they weren’t but were just young 🙂). It was a great show!
Gene shouldn’t have killed himself he should’ve just testified and started a UA-cam Chanel he would’ve made millions and people would be singing his praises just like all the other UA-cam gods people look up to that rolled over on everyone.

In the very early days of the show, feds already had Ray, Pussy and Jimmy Altieri as informants; so why didn't they just go to trial? Testimony of three capos should be more than enough to put everyone in jail for a very very long time.
@@patrickbooth5091 I don't know man, Tony and Sil were extremely careful, and they had great lawyers, I don't know if those rats gathered enough solid evidence to put these guys behind bars.
I love how Tony and the guys warmed up to Murmur and kept him around even after Chrissy died. All things considered (being mafia criminals) he actually really was a good sponser.
Also, the FEDs wanted an airtight case. They didn't want to leave anything to chance. Their focus was Johnny Sack. Of they could flip Johnny Sack then they would have had Carmine. The Soprano family, as a whole, was small fries compared to the big picture.
Because Ray was an expert in the art of espionage. Actually, they probably didn't catch on because Ray felt no sense of loyalty or duty to either side. Pussy was traumatised because he was forced into acts of betrayal and this influenced his behaviour in ways that aroused suspicion. Ray, by contrast, was totally relaxed even when he was fully engaged in carrying out FBI tactics to snare Tony.
Me personally, I would have given Gene permission to "retire". You want soldiers who are satisfied with their positions and not harbor any resentment. Tony always spoke of long term thinking, but in this case, he was thinking short term and selfishly.
What kind of example would that be setting? It's not just about taking an oath, but it would also make Tony look weak. How long before more of them start considering getting out of that life?
I think he should’ve had put money out down there in Florida like he first suggested. He gets to spend most of his time down there but is still apart of the family.
Wow… they are so open with conversation at someone’s wake about work.. it’s all they thought about…The same thing happened at Tony’s mothers nursing home.

Lmfao fucking disgrace
I don’t think Frankie Valli ever did much acting outside of this. He more than held is own; very natural and believable. Talented man!!!
A couple of musicians have been good actors
Apparently he was also in politics. He became the mayor of munchkinland as well. Talented indeed
He made appearances in a few shows but in this one he sure 'walked like a man.'
He would’ve been perfect if he played Nicky Scarfo
0:06 He's still wearing that wire!!
Doesn't surprise me. No safer person to talk around that a dead person.
Gene quite possibly the dumbest guy in the sopranos crew he could’ve easily just disappeared with all the money.
He took an oath
His wife and brother-in-law killed Tony.

Noticed that too, he’s like ‘damn I can’t get that money back’ 🤣🤣🤣

He has been lip syncing for awhile now. At least the last 7-8 years
Look on here at some recent concerts
It's so bad, he doesn't even try to hide it
He lip sings and you can tell very easily he’s doing it
If they made a movie about Nicky Scarfo, Frankie Valli would be perfect for the role

You're absolutely right.
And a younger Ray Liotta woulda been an excellent Phil Leonetti.

At :40 , Tony reprimanding Christopher about showing respect for the dead gave me Dickie Moltisanti vibes from Many Saints of Newark.
