BTW: when Gotti had Castellano whacked, all six gunmen dressed in identical hats and coats, and used identical weapons. That made it next-to-impossible for witnesses to positively identify any individual. None of them was ever indicted for that murder.
An interesting tidbit. According to
Gangland by Howard Blum, 5 of the 6 hitmen were wearing identical outfits. Fat Ange Ruggierio was in charge of finding the hats and coats. One was a yellowish color, while the others were all an off-white. This deviation drew the wrath of Gotti before the shooting. "Yellow! Mother f--kin' yellow! Are you kiddin' me?" was what he reportedly bellowed at Fat Ange. After a tirade, Gotti calmed down and said "What the hell. It'll have to do."
Sammy the Bull, one of the conspriators in the plan to whack Big Paul, was unaware of the plan to have the similar outfits of the shooters. He was struck by Gotti's cleverness and had more confidence in the plan as a result.
