Wrong.

Gotta whacked Paul out of fear.
With Angelo's trial coming up and the drug dealing tapes coming to air, it was kill or be killed.

That's not balls. That's a coward.

+1 Skinny. Ego is why he didn't flip.

And yes the FBI would've taken him. Look at Massino.




I agree to some extent but certainly NO coward

If he were that scared- he would have HID in his house like Demeo crying yo his son everyday/ sitting in the dark going pale like he did

& people say Roy had brass balls... As for Gotti, it was kill or be killed just like Demeo or any other underling that got whacked. Difference is, Gotti showed big balls to put together a hit & I'm not implying he would have done it alone

Had Frankie decicco, Joe piney & possibly Sammy n Dibee not gone along, John would have accepted his fate. He was finished either way and decided to take a gamble

& I know others are going to say "but Paul was at height of his power when he whacked Roy but weakest when he got hit" yes I know but u get the picture....

I think you are giving Gotti too much credit. Lets be honest without Gravano and Decicco Gotti wouldn't have done a damn thing. Secondly paul was at his weakest moment as boss so he was very vulnerable.
