I think that pretty much nails it my man..In my opinion gigante was the definition of what the mob was supposed to be and a great judge of talent, and he respected castelano, but not gotti..No matter what anybody says about castelano,the family was in far better shape with him as boss then it ever was with gotti!!


I agree. And the only reason Gotti lasted as long as he did was because Willie Boy was an informant for decades. That's why Gotti wasn't derailed by the feds in the 70s.
