okay, I'm giving a "no" because of reasons brought up the previous time..

1) he is actually patient (for a mob boss) in regards to Fagin - you may forget that Fagin is a criminal himself, while likeable he's still a criminal.. thus Bill is his "boss" and demands results.. Fagin had been shown to *continually* fail Bill.. Bill threatens him a lot but did not, yet, actually commit full on violence to him.. a lot of mob-bosses do not give such mercies for people who fail them.. he gives Fagin a very clear time frame to get things right and when Fagin (accidentally) gets Bill something valuable he makes it clear to Fagin that he will not bother Fagin or his animals again so long as Fagin leaves him alone.

2) his attempts to kill the main cast are due to them breaking into his territory, disrupting his "negotations" and more importantly disrespecting his position of power - as a crime lord he HAS to respond in turn.. even then he is mostly concerned with recapturing the girl, as if evidenced in the car chase when he smashes the window to try and grab her back.

3) despite him claiming he would harm the girl he is very unlikely to do so for numerous reasons - firstly, she's not worth any money if she's dead and secondly he doesn't want to risk the *INCREDIBLE* risk to his own self that outright child murder brings.. he threatens her in order to silence her family and discourage them from contacting authorities.. not saying he wouldn't harm her if they didn't pay him but ultimately he would be VERY unwilling to do so unless forced.

4)  his behaviors are those of a disciplined mob boss rather than a full on psychopath - if he was PE he would likely of done much more crimes sheerly for the sake of "fun" or twisted perversions or other factors.. Bill is about business - some can count (such as Kingpin) but they go further than Bill does and have WAAAAAY more history by which to do said acts.

so sorry.. no.
