"Ettore Zappi had a piece of the Castro Convertible furniture store that Favara worked at as a manager, Favara approached him after he was assaulted while trying to apologize to the Gotti's. Zappi advised him to leave town or get a gun and kill John Gotti"
That does not sound like something a civilian would do. Plus he was close enough to Etore Zappi for them to have that conversation, he was no innocent civilian. I'm glad this thread continued, we learn more as we go along.
I'm fine with you questioning my post, that's what this site is all about, discussing events that occurred with numerous perspectives on the same event(s). Fact is Favara had a long relationship with Zappi. "Favara was also a childhood friend of Gambino crime family caporegime Ettore Zappi, although he chose to remain legitimate.." https://historica.fandom.com/wiki/John_Favara "https://thenewyorkmafia.com/2019/10/20/ettore-zappi/
