First let me say that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT believe that Gotti was going to set Gravano up to take the fall. Here was a guy who absolutely refused to WILLINGLY assist the government in any way, and wouldn't even allow his men to plead guilty in exchange for shorter sentences. Gotti could've cooperated so he could do easier time, but he was a rebel to the end. Gravano keeps spouting this nonsense to make himself feel better about ratting and to justify himself to his audience, it's all bullshit. What is true is that if not for Gotti they wouldn't have been in a courtroom to begin with. And I'm not even a Gotti fan, but Gotti ratting? No fucking way.
