Donnie certainly couldn't give Hoover as much as he asked for.
At the moment, he only had $1 million in liquid assets, and Donnie definitely needed to keep some on hand for emergency needs.
So, in the end, Donnie only gave Hoover $500,000, indicating that if Hoover needed more later on, he could prepare it for him.
Hoover left Atlantic City contentedly with a check for $500,000 from Mellon Bank.
"Can this man be trusted?"
After Hoover left, Bruce asked Donnie.
Taking a cigarette out of the box on the table and lighting it, Donnie confidently said, "Don't worry, Hoover isn't short-sighted. He wouldn't take the half million and run!"
Bruce said, "I don't know the man, but I trust your judgment!"
Donnie laughed heartily and said, "Trust my judgment, then you should continue on your journey!"
Bruce, leaning back on the sofa, said nonchalantly, "I assumed as much. Next, you want me to go to Canada?"
