castellano was handed the position as boss without earning it which was bang on the money . Castellano was a businessman not a mobster ...FACT
1. Castellano dropped out of school in the eighth grade and started collecting numbers game receipts.
2.He was first arrested for robbery and served a 3mnth sentence. He was also arrested post the Appalachian conference and served a year for contempt.
Both times he refused to talk to the police.
In 85 he was indited in the commission case and would most likely have been convicted and sent to jail for life. He never gave any indication of rolling over. He was fighting the case up until his murder.
Im tired of people saying PC was a 'businessman' not a mobster.
Im tired of people saying he was 'white collar'.
Im tired of people saying he hadnt 'paid his dues'.
PC had more in common with Gigante than almost any other modern boss, yet one is revered by mob watchers, the other mistakenly, incorrectly derided.
'FACT'.
