He told them all never to take a plea, make the government come after you and spend their money on a trial.

The next paragraph was how all these stupid kids who listened to Gotti who could have gotten 5 year plea deals got 20 to life for taking their shit to trial.

Somebody on here should know......

Did they ever catch Don Carlo on a bug????

John Coffey pretty much tells it like it is when it comes to these guys. Coffey spoke about how "cagey" Carlo was and how stupid Gotti was.

joe coffee knew about gotti, he often said gotti had the IQ of a mothball. look how he destroyed the gambinos, their money went down from 100 million a year to 20 million, sammy flipped because he heard gotti on some tapes, that's all on gotti, but, the worse thing the moron ever did, was making his son boss, the dog wasn't fit to run a two-bit pizzeria, much less an LCN family.
