Well, he had everyone so fooled that he was nuts he avoided trial for 7 years.
And like I said, he had a livable release date, unlike Gotti. That he died in prison is irelevant.
I don't know about irrelevant. Both died in prison. Not like Gigante died in his own bed or anything.
Not that I am comparing the guys, obviously there is a big gap in leadership ability and smarts.
