* {{Hypocrite}}: Moreso than the other gangsters. Jimmy can't stand rats or people who are disloyal, and gives a young Henry the lesson to remember who his friends are and keep his mouth shut at all times. But despite preaching otherwise, Jimmy is almost the poster child for NoHonorAmongThieves; keeping the lion's share of mutual thefts, treating his so-called "friends" like garbage, and killing anyone who might be a liability.

* HowTheyTreatTheHelp: Zig-zagged. He ''is'' quite generous with his tips, but it's in no way an indicator that he's a nice guy. Handing out hundreds casually to servants is just him flaunting his wealth and showing off his high-class mafia lifestyle; in actuality, he doesn't care about people who serve him at all.

* HowTheyTreatTheHelp: In contrast to his friends, Tommy is shown abusing servers instead of handing out generous tips. When one waiter doesn't hear Tommy ask for a drink and comes to the table without it, Tommy angrily berates him before shooting him in the foot.

* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: When he finds out that Henry has been dealing drug on the sly (a big no-no in the Mafia as it invited too much police attention), Paul hands him a severance package and exiles him from the mob rather than having him whacked on the spot. This same mercy will end up biting him in the ass when Henry turns state's evidence.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Jimmy has never used Henry as a hitman, so when he suddenly asks Henry to go on a hit job (while he's under police's scrutiny no less), Henry can tell right away that it's a setup to have him killed.

* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed. He and Tommy murder Billy Batts together, but only Tommy gets whacked by the mob in retaliation afterward. He does get his comeuppance down the line, but it's from the laws and far lighter compared to what Tommy got.
