Since the Don is king, he can appoint whomever he wants as consigliere, and listen to whomever he wants, whether or not the guy is the consigliere. One of the tapes released during Gotti's last trial has him saying to Gravano, "You can be consigliere or underboss, whatever makes you feel better." Some say that Hugh (Apples) McIntosh, Persico's bodyguard, was more like his consigliere.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
