all good points above t.b.
The fact that paul did not attend mr.neils'
wake was a major mistake,I do not think that
it was his job to baby-sit angelo,that was his
uncles job or gottis which-ever.
with-out ruggerio talking on the phone
paul was in the clear on the drug thing.
paul was greedy,at least gotti thought so,
the fact still remains he was a major
earner for the gambinos,as far as being a
loner or a recluse if more powers to be were
like that,more dons would last longer,
don carlo was not one to mingle w/ the
hired help,thats what the capos and
underboss are for.
tommy b. was old school but loyal,dumb as
a rock,he would never have made a good don
but was gotti any better?
paul was making money on his own,its the
job of the factions capos to make their
own deals,their own money.
roy demeo made large amounts of money for
paul,paul paid him well then killed him.
gaggi was paid well also,the only reason
paul used the westies was they had taken
the gambinos largest shy and bookie racket
and used it to their advantage,gotti used
the westies at the urging of sammy,they
did a number on a irish union official
in exchange for more work.
as far as pauls xtra sexual activities i
do not see what the problem is,as far as
morals go,whats worse,cheating on your wife
downstairs or killing over 200 people which
i figure is what he had done in his tenure
as a don,both are sins and the mafia code
of honer pretty much does not exist anymore
nor did it then. just my opinion
