Was Sammy Gravano a capo, acting capo, or soldier at the time of the hit? I remember in Underboss Sammy met with Tommy Bilotti's brother, and assured him he wouldn't be killed, and told him they had to kill Tommy Bilotti was too loyal to Paul to chance having around. Anyone know what came of Tommy Bilotti's brother, did he say in the life? Underboss said the Bilotti brothers had something like 18 or 19 kids between them, and one of the reasons why the brother wasn't killed.
From what I have read, Sammy was not a capo when Castellano was whacked. He was part of "The Fist" (with DeCiccio, Fat Ange, and Robert DiBernado) that conspired with John Gotti to kill Big Paul. Once Gotti was elected Boss, Sammy & Fat Ange Ruggerio were promoted to captains.
Not sure about Tommy's brother...
