He had to equal or better his father in terms of reputation. Like Anthony Soprano Jr. He had to do the whole club scene, buying expensive wine to 'live the life' with his crew and act like his father. Trouble is, when the bill comes also comes the realisation that the things he does are strictly small time. Junior Gotti was weak, but couldn't flip.
Why? Because his father stood by Omerta. So did he.
I don't think his father had anything to do with it you could say the same about Sonny Franzese and his sone became an informant .
