I used the term rat as IMO Gotti's behaviour exhibited similar characteristics.

He knowingly broke the rules aware of the consequences and when the time came to accept his punishment he only thought of himself and brought down others in his stead (killing of Paul).

The parallels seem pretty obvious to me.

He was loud and obnoxious constantly drawing heat and exposure, slept with another mans wife, allowed his crew to move H, back stabbed Gravano on the tapes.

He didnt flip because of ego. His ego.

LCN is about the family. Greater good (theoretically).

John Gotti was about John Gotti.

But it appears we're running around in circles and I've said my piece so I guess we'll agree to disagree.

CHUCKIE: Morgan, Let's go.
MORGAN: I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.
