That's a sanitized version 100% truth but it doesn't matter. Bottom line is there is no loyalty among mobsters
Just varying degrees of continued usefulness. Weighed against liability. And the minute liability tips the scales, you find yourself fitted for a tan suit made of desert sand.
And here's a news flash. Nobody retires from the mob, not really. People get old and stop actively earning and turn over their rackets to the next gen, but payments continue and when somebody leaves town he becomes "our guy in fill-in-the-town" to be utilized should the need arise. Anybody who tells different is lying.

Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
