THE REVELATN THAT HE GAVE UP THE WRONG MAN AS VELRO'S WIFE'S RAPIST LEADS VELRO TO QUTN IF HE WAS EVER AS MUCH POWER AS HE THOUGHT HE WAS. THE STOIC NOT SO STOIC: THERE ARE MANY MOMENTS THAT SHOW THAT HIS LM EXTERR IS MERELY A FA HE IS PROJECTG. TORCH THE FRANCHISE AND RUN: IN-UNIVERSE. WHEN OSIP BUYS OUT ALL OF FRANK'S TERTS, FRANK LMLY ACCEPTS ... AND THEN HE BURNS DOWN EVERY CLUB HE OWNS AFTER EMPTYG THE SAF AND KILLG ANY OF OSIP'S MEN WHO ULD BE A POSN TO STOP HIM. TOOK A LEVEL JERKASS: QUE LLECTED AND AFFABLE AFTER HE WENT LEG, THE MOUNTG PRSURE TO REGA HIS MONEY THROWS AWAY MOST OF HIS EXTERNAL CENCY.
