On the face of it, it's hard to tell if there really is anything deeper to Rofo's butthurt over the Gene Jones dumping other than (a.) the elimination of a like-minded ally (i.e. another high-handed "Rules/Laws Are For Suckers" type thug), and/or (b.) he sees it as a personal affront to him, with the THCH board daring to challenge his authority by giving his man the boot. And of the two possibilities, I'm betting the latter is what's really chapping his enormous ass.
The thing is, there may well be something more sinister, corrupt, sleazy or out-and-out criminal under the surface with whatever arrangement Ford had with Jones; one can never discount that notion with Ford and his underlings. (And evidently that's the case with supposedly respectable figures like Jones every bit as much as it is with the street toughs Fatso likes to associate with.) But even if there is anything to all this speculation we're indulging in, I'm betting the two motivations I suggested above are what's causing Ford's rage here at least as much as anything more significant. Hell, even if it's something that could potentially see Fat Boy land in prison, I'd bet what's truly angering him is that other people dared go against his will. In the end, it's all ego with Ford. He's been far too used to getting his way his entire life.
