An "Ask The Mob" member kinda makes the decision to try to take the existing money split it with the remaining 'team' and run (by trying to mislead the contestant)...

I made this assumption before, and maybe it's the wrong one to make, so let me clarify something. You have the incorrect answer, but you are selected to explain yourself via either of the One's helps. The One sides with you and goes with your incorrect answer. The One's obviously out as a result, and the mob splits the One's winnings. Are you, as one who gave the incorrect answer, entitled to any portion of the winnings, because you're out too?
Because if that's not the case, there's no real impetus for you to give a real convincing bluff, as you're not going to get rewarded for it other than the surviving members giving you a hearty "thank you." Unless I'm missing something. (Which isn't a stretch.)

My bad. My mind was stuck on the mob member who had the right answer, but had the opportunity to be 100% honest (in order to keep building the jackpot).
If that Mob member (who had the right answer) thought there was enough money in the jackpot for the rest of the mob to win, they could always add in their reasoning the "it's just a wild guess" factor. The more they can convince the contestant that the wrong mob member sounds more believable with the "wild guess", the better.
This is where Greed meets Friend or Foe -- One Mob member can pretty much decide for the rest of the remaining mobsters when to try to quit, and/or when to put out a fake sense of trust.
