So true, goodfella...!!! Well, his timing was perfect, anyway. At least Gotti's death brought a little life to this board -  Apple

Y'know what? I really didn't react to the news at all - weird... Anyway, here's the full story from Yahoo News : Flamboyant Mafia Boss Gotti Dies in Prison Mon Jun 10, 3:51 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - John Gotti, the swaggering boss of the Gambino crime family who was sentenced to life in prison in 1992 on murder charges after years of evading the law, died at a prison hospital on Monday. He was 61. New York law enforcement sources said he died from complications of neck and throat cancer at a federal prison hospital in Springfield, Missouri. A statement from the prison hospital said Gotti died "after a lengthy illness" at 11:45 a.m. CDT (12:45 p.m. EDT). "The cause of death is pending the results of an autopsy," the statement said. "Mr. Gotti's family has been notified." Gotti was serving a life term in a maximum security federal prison in Marion, Illinois, when he was diagnosed with cancer in September 1998. During his years as a gangster, Gotti became something of a celebrity, with his movements chronicled by the New York tabloids. The newspapers dubbed him "Dapper Don" for his elegant suits and the "Teflon Don" because he was acquitted in three trial brought by the government before his eventual 1992 conviction. Hours of FBI ( news - web sites) tape recordings and the turncoat testimony of hitman Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano led to Gotti's arrest in 1990 and his trial and conviction for murder and racketeering. Gotti was America's most visible mob boss when he was arrested. He had ordered and watched the 1985 assassination of Gambino boss Paul Castellano on a midtown Manhattan street in a grab for control of a string of lucrative illegal businesses. Unlike Mafia bosses of old, however, Gotti invited publicity and attention with displays of wealth and bravado that ultimately contributed to his downfall. Gotti was married to the former Victoria DiGiorgio and they had five children. Gotti died a week after U.S. prosecutors in New York indicted his brother, Peter Gotti, and more than a dozen other alleged mobsters on extortion and corruption charges related to waterfront operations. Peter Gotti allegedly became head of the Gambino family after his nephew, John "Junior" Gotti, was sentenced to 6-1/2 years in prison in a 1999 plea bargain for racketeering and other crimes.

Apple Their were threads back in APRIL saying Gotti is dead, how are you sure somebody didn;t hack into yahoo News? It's happened before! I agree with Apple, but at least he was a true mafioso, he went down by himself, he never talked even though that fucking rat Sammy did! So, John's dead, Junior and Peter are in jail, whose Don Gambino? Gene Gotti? If the FBI REALLY wanted an initiation ceremony they'd follow Gene Gotti for the next couple of days, he's probably next Boss!

Question:
Didn't he violate mob rules by whacking Paul C. without permission? Get's hard to keep a business together when folks start taking out the leaders indescriminantly.

No he didn't unlike that RAT FACED Sammy the Bull. Didn't he violate mob rules by whacking Paul C. without permission? Get's hard to keep a business together when folks start taking out the leaders indescriminantly. Well from what I've heard DP he did get permission from the other families, I've heard the other families gave their permission cause they were afraid Paul C would agree to become a government witness to avoid going to prison. Don't forget he was one of the defendants in the Commision case.

So...as long as a murderer doesn't also become a RAT, then he has all the makings of a 'stand up guy'. That's good to know, somebody should call Michael Skakel's lawyer with this revelation. Apple

Even the Chin tried a few times to have Gotti killed because of this. He got his Underboss though.
