What were the Cherry Hill Gambino’s feeling’s about Castellano being murdered?? Castellano allowed them to deal drugs in Philly while Angelo Bruno was alive; Bruno was taking drug tribute from them… and I believe this is one reason why guys like Antonio Caponigro had (Bruno) whacked…

We’re the Cherry Hill Gambino’s allowed to deal drugs under Gotti like they were under Castellano??

Also the final question; Could they have gotten rid of Gotti with their Sicilian connections and the killers they had in their crew?

It’s been said Gotti left the Cherry Hills alone…. I believe Gotti was afraid of them.

They’re were feared…

Would love some responses!



John Gambino had a stroke around that time so the tensions mellowed a bit and after Gambino got better, Gotti elevated him to capo. And yes, they were still dealing drugs under Gotti.
