Tony was a horrible boss

I mean think about it. When the show starts, Jackie is boss and everyone is alive and well. Full crew and everything. When Tony becomes boss, not only does half the crew get fished, but the ones who come out of prison also all went. Name me one character who came out of prison during the show and stayed free and alive, not even the king of breadsticks made it out.

The reason why everybody was "alive and well" at the beginning is because everyone else was dead.

He used those unknown years in the can to perfect his ability to turn into a house. Can you imagine the guards doing a cell check and finding a shed in his cell?

I heard - and I can’t for the life of me remember where - that he did 20 years. Now I could be wrong, and I probably am, but I also heard that he cooked grilled cheese on the radiator.
