Background[]
Personality[]
Don Feinberg seemed to be another alpha of another gang of sharks that shared Lino's worries about Len's safety next to Lino's secretary Luca. He and Lino were very good friends, and it's possible that Feinberg also understands about the two young sharks.
After that, the audience raised their cups to all honor the deceased one, and Lino thanks Ira for the song.
Also, not only friendly with Lino, Ira seemed to have a slightly self-confident side, as shown that he ignored the audience sharks' complaints of dissent when he asked whether he'll sing the Titanic theme song.
- Don Feinberg: Any requests? How about that Titanic song?
- Audience sharks: Oh no, please don't!!
