Whether the media followed him or not it doesnt change the fact that he was being too flashy and idiotic the way he handled himself as boss. He definetly got off on it. If you listen to his prison tapes in 98 he clearly thought of himself as important that people would have the honor of being in his presence
Posters on here and everywhere else on the 'net think they are important and an honor in others presence. How was Gotti flashy? Were his clothes too nice for some people? H never flashed money, or drove a luxury car, he tried to avoid the media, and they followed him, calling him flashy as they did. In those tapes, they are private conversations, and open to interpretation as for if he was bragging or talking. We'll never know.
