Many concerns brewed over Carlo Gambinos Choice for a replacement when he passed. He chose Big Paul Castellano
not because of blood but brains. Big Paul was no gangster
but was a hell of a white collar businessman who could help the family move into safer less muscle and risk rackets without so much worry over wiseguys getting pinched
over traditional rackets. Stock market scams and other more profitible rackets were the future Gambino invisioned
for the family. Not muscle and drugs. Imagine where the family would be now if Gambinos vision had taken hold among the Gambino as well as other families.
