Did he do the right thing and give the boss a taste? $50k is pretty small chump change but ya gotta do the right thing in spite of that. I heard Paulie nuts got wacked for holding out.

And mafia bosses typically take a percentage cut from their associates' earnings, usually in the range of 10 to 30%

I'm sure trump got his cut despite the fact that $50K is chump change
