Having a 'soft spot' for someone is a terrible idea for a crime lord... yet many seem to and it comes back to bite them. Look how many Gangsters get convicted by informants they trusted.

i didn't say it was game changing, and i no, i don't know how national prison syndicates handling their accounting. in fact, i don't even know that todd's uncle's crew is a nationally syndicated prison outfit.
i simply pointed out that getting right back to work after having $70m dumped in your lap is surprising to me, for anyone. lotto winner, etc. not to mention, they just recently took over the meth business, have issues with quality and certainly it's fair to say they are not raking in the dough. and i'm not alone in noticing that.
nevertheless, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment re: where this thread is/was going.
again, the show is ambigous, that is my point. athe show is open-ended often times, uses flash-backs and future scenes mixed together with scenes left out.
