So are you saying that John Gotti was never officially made and yet practically ran the Gambino Family from the late 80's to early this century? [/b][/quote]NO!!! John Gotti was made by Paul Castellano, I don`t remember if it was an earlier or later ceremony than Sammy Gravano`s.
What I wanted to say is that John Gotti got respect and fame within the Gambinos more than he deserved for being just an associate. Carlo Gambino kept the membership books closed, and Paul Castellano opened them.
