I doubt John Gotti would go to Chicago considering he was an ex con. Mags met him in Florida with Chuckie the Head a well-known bookie who had east coast clients.


So explain this to me. John was barred from traveling to Chicago with the threat of being prosecuted over it if ever was to come here and hang out for a couple days having dinner and enjoying the city? I find it very hard to believe that John never once visited Chicago. IF he did come to Chicago more than likely he was escorted around the city by a couple guys that worked for the Outfit. This also could have been before he became boss and was just a up and coming wiseguy who was respected and had connections.
