Thomas Gambino can very well be considered a sissy, but he's been a tremendous earner, has served very little time, and hasn't turned rat as far as we know. He has set himself apart from Carlo Gambino, he's proved that he can be a tremendous asset to the Family without Don Carlo. So I'll give him a pass.
Thomas Gambino was “sissy” in the eyes of guys like John Gotti who was a glorified fuckin loanshark. The guy kept silent, served time, led a crew for around 20-30 years, was humble and kept his head down and will probably die an old man, free in his bed, with millions of dollars to his name. Not unlike his father.
If Paul had had his way, and Tommy had been named Acting Boss after Paul went to prison, we might have much stronger and less damaged Gambino family now. Tommy wouldn’t have had all his Capos reporting to the Ravenite or blabbing about murders on tape.
