It is an informal quote here as well. To rephrase the sentence using a direct quote:
兄貴が「ヤクザの友達が言ってたんだから間違いねぇ。 」っ て言ってた。

So then 「マジよく腕だけで済んだよ」 = (loosely) "You were really lucky to get off with just a broken arm"

Right, we talked about it on p.70.
Whenever you see a 「～～だけで済む」 structure, it implies that someone is being lucky. His damage/loss/penalty could have been much severer.
