This would seem to indicate that this was the first that FL heard about it.
Allegedly,prior to the hit,he suggested that Gotti "fine" DiBono for not coming when Gotti summoned him instead of killing him.
Gravano also said the Frankie was not involved,but conveniently left this out when being de-briefed after flipping.
The Bull said he didn't bring it up,because they never asked him.
There are pros and cons to all of this speculation,so I don't know that a definitive finding will ever be known.


Like you say, that sounds like gottis telling FL why dibono was killed. Talking in a past tense.
Wouldn't need to say it if FL was also part of the murder plot.

Am I right in thinking that the ' cirrelli ' tapes are public.
None of the clips I've heard have FL saying anything..

Just bad luck that gotti picked him for the admin. Couldn't really turn it down without repercussions.
