The way I understand it, with some of those guys who were whacked, it was Gravano who came to Gotti with the request to take them out. I'm thinking Gotti was just blowing off steam, and who knows, might've even ended up killing Gravano. If after that last trial Gotti had laid low and only discussed business on walk-and-talks, making wiretaps impossible, they probably could've lasted for several more years.
. I don’t know about that. I’m sure on some of them Gravano went to him but the majority were certainly Gotti. I don’t think anyone ever had to convince Gotti to Kill someone. Even back to the Favara killing some feel that the wife pushed for it and although I agree she wanted him dead but so did Gotti he just was waiting for a time where he could crate an alibi. I do think both turned on each other and it was a partnership that was bound to dissolve at some point
