Yep. Fatico took a back step, giving Gotti authority to run his rackets when he got released from prison, then giving him control of the crew 3-4 years before he got made. Gotti was meeting Carlo Gambino & Neil Dellacroce weekly as well, allegedly.

He also was a partner in the all-Families gambling/socializing den, The Sinatra Club. He was a piss poor cards player though.
