What makes you say DB? I don't remember him playing a significant role. Speaking of DB, what the hell really happened? You have Gravano who claims Angie Ruggiero set it up to avoid paying back a loan for a good amount of money. Although this story was kind of iffy, and when Gravano sounds iffy, it usually means he's lying. But then some others say Gravano organized it to shamelessly take over his construction deals, which would really make a lot of sense since Gravano is more or less a serial killer, and that's his M.O. Which was it really?

JCrusher, I agree with you, but an interesting note on Armone. Gravano and Gene Gotti both claimed Armone wasn't boss material at the time, Gravano claimed so because of his current interactions with Armone. From the way he told it, I think Armone was senile by then. Which is definitely something that could fly over a mobster's head. Armone suggested they divert heat away from the family by killing Oliver North. I'm 16 but I've been through a form of senility in Lyme Disease, and it really sounds like that was an issue at the time. I wonder how they could all be so clueless about parts of the human mental condition, and brilliant at reading others.
