Which is why I said in the beginning that Galante was a different breed from Gotti. You think Galante had an army with him in jail? He'd been there for more than 10 years.. everybody forgets about you when you go away. It's a well known fact Galante was a vicious psychopath, he was even diagnosed as such in jail. I'm not sure about Gotti, but he was never as feared as Galante was. His fear mostly stemmed from the media and not from the street rep.
good post about galente. in Vincent Teresa book, which came out years ago, he says of galente, while serving his time "the cigar" [galente] got whatever he wanted, nobody defied galente not even the guards. he ruled that joint. he was a different kind. scaring, scary people. nobody feared gotti like they feared galente!
