Yeah, good point..when the the chin died, i remember reading a quote in the paper from bruce mouw, the fbi gambino squad leader, and he said gotti would bad mouth everybody, including other bosses, but the only one he feared was the chin..said they never heard once trash him on a bug ..that says a lot !!
Yep----Gotti,as overheard on FBI bugs:
Called his DEAR friend Joey Massino "The Whale"
Referred to the Amuso/Casso tandem as "The Circus"
Disparagingly described the Colombo Family as "Cambodians"
Billed the DeCavalcante Family as "Shoe-Shiners"
But never once spoke ill of The Chin.
You got that right! JK, I can imagine Gotti would be hot headed enough to comment The Chin's fake insanity. Making jokes about Gigante's nicknames ''the enigma in the rhobe'' or whatever. The Gambino crew probably had a ''silvio dante''-thing going on. Doesn't matter how much you're respected and feared, people will always speak against you behind your back, laughing while you waltz around thiking everything is OK.
