How come john gotti always had people ratting him out before he was boss and then his right hand man gravano was Never ratted out I think. Willy boy was ratting on john 20+ years before Sammy. Then there was a guy wearing a wire in his club that was a good friend in the 80tys. Sammy I'll say don't have to rat out any of his good friends I noticed and family.
The only thing that can explain it is the facts, since they all knew and understood he was very violent. The facts are that people being arrested in their time were either getting busted for drugs which handed down huge sentences or were not being treated what they felt was fair. When they get popped for whatever reason and have to go away, they realized the men they were involved with were not being honorable, not taking care of them, their wives or children like they were supposed to do. This breaks down the system of rules which led to weakness in the group.
