How Should Eugene Have Handled The 2 Million? | The Sopranos Explained 

yep.. moved to denmark or switzerland

Correct. Maybe left $50K at the house for tribute to Tony and skid addled.

Obviously he couldn't do that given he was an informant for the Feds.

All fun and games until Silvio and Chrissy pop up in Florida

He couldn't because of the fbi. Maybe if he fled the country

imagine, getting two million and one week later...you're in a shine box

@@comeysome Imagine this guy gets two million and a week later he's a shine box

Did Billy Bates make both of you say this?

@@Loner-Wolf bats?! That was the guy’s nickname .. his real name was Baterelli

i am sick of that shine box line that shit is old as f k . say that shine box shit to a real mobster you wold shinning his knob not a shoe!! go watch some more movies a get a new one

Whatever happened there...

41 is middle age. Yeah, not a good age to die at, but definitely not a kid.

@@craigfin3222he was a handsome, strong young man!!

​@@craigfin3222 nah he was a kid just a kid

Billy was 47 eugene at 41 just entered adulthood😢

MAAAAA

Well, you outta know sweetie.

He would have found out eventually

@@dolomitefan1767 Not if Eugene took the money and left the country with his family.

​@@MensaGiraffeThe feds wouldn't allow it, and you'd have to live looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life, wondering if agent Vito is sneaking up behind you.

@@no-barknoonan1335 Vito is a come from behind kind of guy.

​@@no-barknoonan1335 he could to russia

that line is getting very old but you dont know better sweet heart you ant from thos streets

Varsity millionaire 😂

His pockets... too little 😢

@@eedobee AGAIN WITH THE MONEY?!

🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

Yeah, WTF was that about? No mobster in the history of the Mob ever did that or had to do that. That is personal money and exempt from tax. Has nothing to do with Mob income. If that were me I would have set up a new life in the Keys for me and the fam under assumed names and just disappear.

The Mafia was greedy, even in real life, they wanted a piece of everything.

It’s true that you do piss yourself, when I found my brother he was covered in piss, I think it’s a nervous system thing

@@curtisholmes9988sorry to hear that bro

Well...we remembered it, didn't we? lol

Yeah, but we remember it, don't we?

@@tacitus6384 lol true

exactly, the NJ family would have just assumed NY or someone else took him out

@@maxpower2511 some people are out there stuffing themselves

@@A_r78gene was in no position to go into the unknown not knowin'

The fbi would arrest his ass probably

Family?!?! Its a glorified crew!!!!

Fckn Brilliant

😂 😂 😂

Did he own a Hoover Max Extract Pressure Pro model 60?

Hodgekie's quick vanish.

It's only what? 125,000? RIP Robert Forrester.

The crossover comment we didn't know we needed 😂

@@MensaGiraffe lmao why do you remember the exact model, i imagine now some people prank call vacuum cleaner shops with this lol

Vito had that tattooed as a tramp stamp, IIRC

@@blahblahmeowchow6383 more like, all welcome.

Vito had a tattoos on each ass cheek. One of a tall stack of johnny cakes, the other a few links of "in house sausages"😂

You parade float.

And don't give me that aww shucks shit. You're FUGGIN GOIN!!!"

His son loved crack too

Oh that we can agree lol

They are*

AIDS?!

NEVER!

@@memedealermikeyNOBODY HAS AIDS… I don’t want to hear that in this comment section again 😤

What? The bureau would never turn its head on a murder charge

@@LuisOrtiz-uj2ve I think he means before doing the hit. And get Chrissy picked up for ordering a murder

@@cjbusuttil Alright what else could you say at this point right?

@@cjbusuttil He was making a comedic reference to Skip's BS statement to Pxssy about the Bevalaqua hit.

This is the best idea ive heard so far, record Chris giving him a murder contract that's Chris finished he rolls on Tony, game over.

Oh, he came up with a plan.

A clean break.

Like spielberg

bro thinks he's butcher

It won’t be cinematic..

What you say??

The quotes he throws into these scripts will never stop being funny to me. 😂

I gotta piss……Do me a favour huh? Hold this

@@arielalvarez5543 Nuttin', just breakin' baw's!

@@illwitness im gonna go take a leak.

He had a couple of other options, tough but doable: 1) Do the sentence, and leave prison wealthy; this has a further couple of variables, how long his mother lived, and exactly what the Feds had on him. If his Mum was 94 when she died, and he was 51 at the time of incarceration, and looking at 20 years, he'd be out in 10 with good behaviour,. He'd be 61, and with the lack of booze/tobacco and whatever other drugs he might be on, if he lived like a monk he'd have a decent shot at a happy life, albeit 10 years will change a man. However, if she died in her 50's like his dad, well wtf does he have to look forward to? ; 2) Escape to a country with no extradition. This is a big ask as it uproots his little girl, his bitch wife isn't likely to want to go along with it/him, and don't get me started on his druggy son. But, there are shall we say entities who can get them onsite, if not onboard - that's Eugene's problem.

Then why the "give Tony a cut" part of #2 at all? Remove that and I agree. Just don't say anything about the two mill to begin with.

very reasonable thought buddy

4. Got ridda that mouthy wife

⁠​⁠@@mikef6063 what if Tony found out on his own somehow? could be a bad ending for Gene. better take the 10% loss and keep him happy. or maybe even give him less than the official cut since it’s not “earning” per se and definitely DONT mention the full amount

@@monsieurcondottiero2685 That's the point though, its not illegal rackets or anything having to do with the mob. Tony has no claim on this. This is the mob not the government.

Not really , I'm prety sure his son would get worse from his fathers loss

i think they also said that febby got kicked out of the program which probably made him easier to find

WITSEC has a 100% protection rate for individuals in the program that have followed the guidelines set forth by the FBI. Eugene would have never been found if he followed the rules.

You're gonna build Cineranter a ramp Ceerious🤘

Indeed that money could have been used to make himself quite the earner until feds let him go . Property, shylocking etc he'd be in great position to be a top earner for Tony The dream house be used as holiday home. Tony didn't need to know shit

Eugene went out like a punk. With $2 mill he could have put a hit out own Tony. No one would have suspected him.

@@willleon9165you’re screwed once you’re in bed with the FEDS. They are worse than the mob.

@@k.y3551 if he used head invested wisely he'd likely have support for hit with time🤣🤣

You all can barely speak English.

But he didn't!

He was like an animal. lol

@@sole__doubt Finn must've confused Eugene with Tony B. That fuckin' animal Blundetto murdered a kid.

​@@raskolnikov7049He's A Child Killer...

What?

It's that zip furio

@@alanbrady7116 🤣🤣you got it!

Tony would have taken the money and not honored his commitment

@@kelleymcbride4633 Hiighly probable.

You assume Tony honors the deal which he 100% won't

So he should have given Tony all of his money and then retired when he wasn't financially ready to retire? And then maybe Tony doesn't even honor this deal anyway?

It makes perfect sense that Tony was killed by Eugene's wife. The way the show gives subtle clues and hints is amazing storytelling and writing. Tony absolutely had to go. He was a terrible person. If 'Gene's wife did in fact order the hit on Tony it's quiet fitting that the last kill on the show is done by a woman.

no, he would hve stuck out his fat fuckin hand wanting more

satanic black magick, sick shit

This is all very allegorical.

Always with the scenarios

on a Tuesday

Got your girl in the cut and she chooosey

No the best way would have been not to join the f***ing mob! Once he joined he was in for life.

I agree there was no way out for him. But he knew if he wasn't there his family can get out

Idk, clipping that guy knowing his situation was dumb af.

Strong possibility

No it was patsy bro

@@thegoodfella2045 Patsy and Paulie were collaborating with New York to come out on top after the war took out all of the leaders on both sides. I reckon they got Eugene's brother in because he'd been one of their guys for a while and a chance to avenge his brother would have kept him loyal going forward.

I am still concerned about those two unidentified black males that show up at Holsteins that are usually left out of the equation.

@@Cronps Oh, those guys again!

Whateva happend there, I can’t even say his name.

Hehehehe Ya heard that Tone?

So did I, but I got lonely for construction site security guards.

Tony Egg?

@@Vito-Spatafore. Vito? Wtf? Fuk you doin?!

Even if he tried to do that New York had they people in Florida Gene would have been found . Look how Tony accidentally found that guy in Main N.E

And no arugula eithet

and go where? between the feds and the soprano crew, he’d have to go back to Italy to be safe

Little Paulie wasn't made - and he mouth off to Eugene! Besides, didn't I just see 2 *iggahs run that way?

i think that just ends with tony being worried about him saying the wrong thing and killing him

It wasn’t cruel. Eugene took an oath. There is only one way out.

@@k.y3551 true but if Tony wanted to he could have made an exception

He wasn’t cruel because he didn’t.

Yeah, he has outdated fashion sense, right?

@@mondoseguendo6113 …and then he hung himself. Poor misunderstood fashion victim.
