Plus I can't imagine Bingham and those guys being as far along in the game as they were and needing to be mentored by gotti. They were probably smarter than him.
I've never read a single sentence anywhere that indicated gotti was intelligent. Just that he was a total retard degenerate gambling junkie with little to no actual business experience.
Their (A/B) whole ethos of building members up with knowledge, classic literature etc goes back to the beginning. From the few audio clips I've heard of gotti---I don't think that fuckin retard could spell his own name even if we spotted him all the vowels. And saying A/B didn't have people on the outside at that time period?
He could be right who knows....
People like to slate Gotti a lot and I can see why BUT according to his nemesis Sammy the bull, he said Gotti was very smart. So I'll take his word for
It
When Diane Sawyer asked if Gotti had the brains to run a criminal empire, Sammys response as," oh, John was smart. No question about it, he was smart".
And that came from a guy who ran multiple businesses so if he's saying your smart, forget about it
