paul caused his own problems and his own death he has no one to blame but himself choosing biletti as his chosen acting boss was suicidal
he became out of touch with the streets and thats what matters
....like i said choosing biletti caused his own death
WRONG.
The singular cause of Pauls death was the Gotti's crew involvement in trafficking H and the Ruggerio tapes proving this.
This would've been Ange, Gene etc's death warrant, probably John's too (or at the least his demotion and/or shelving).
That's why Paul was hit.
Gotti HAD to hit Paul. Or he was next.
That's the reason Paul was killed.
Not Bilotti. Not 'removed from the streets'. Not the upstate capo hit by the Westside.
Gotti's crew moving H is why Paul was hit.
it was not one reasons pauls death. John might have hit him anyway but he caused alot of his own problems guys like gravano decicco armone they only joined because of pauls actions
1) he gave up his own capo to the wetside it does not matter if it was the right thing the gambino family were outraged
2) choosing tommy biletti as his acting boss and tommy gambino as his underboss made decicco the most important out of all the "fist" plan to kill paul
3) his drug ban was ridiciclous he was making millions from the zips in drug money and he was getting loads from roy demeo drugs deals dont tell me he did not know because he did his drug ban angered guys
4) he started setting up construction companies with the chin and the westside which angered gambinos like sammy gravano as they were cut of the deals and made nothing pauls greed
5) he was removed from the streets he knew there was tension in the family after neil died he just ignored and stated he was taking gotti down he was naivve he should have had gotti killed problem was by this stage no one would have killed him in the gambino family paul would have had to go to the westside
He stayed in that big mansion he gave the street guys little respect and at the end of the day the street guys are what matters
6) he was not a real boss lacked balls neil would belittle him infront of over mobsters how do you think that looks these are gangsters they can see weakness from a mile away
7) he did not help himself not going to neil and the comments he made about neil after he died saying neil was a rat was ridicilous it just angered guys like gotti even more
8) he kept changing his mind before neil died he said he was going to make a ruling panel for when he went to prison john gotti tommy gambino and tommy biletti but as soon as neil died he said he was going to break up the gotti crew this caused instability in the family
people forget that gottis crew was one of the most powerful in the family
