I have a question; James Eppolito SR was a soldier in Anthony Gaggi's crew. Why did Paul side with Roy DeMeo and Gaggi in their dispute with Eppolito SR and JR???Apparently DeMeo cheated Eppolito JR out of a drug deal. This should have been instant death for the both of them once Paul found out.
Also Eppolito SR rackets and territory was being chipped away by DeMeo I believe.
Eppolito SR wanted his own captain whacked and that pretty much sign his own death warrant along with his son.
My question is; Why did Paul side with DeMeo and Gaggi??

Jimmy SR was pretty bold to go to the Boss of a major family and ask permission to whack his own captain and his top lieutenant (Roy DeMeo)
Everyone was afraid of the DeMeo crew and Gaggi but Jimmy SR had some balls and it got him and his son whacked.
Even John Gotti and his guys were afraid of the DeMeo crew.

76 to 85 paul had alot of people put down i would love to see a list. atleast 40+guys. not all made guys just people in the gambino familys orbit and other Families
. Absolutely l. There is a big misconception that Paul was a pushover just because he was more of a white collar boss but that’s not the case. I mean Gotti was obviously scared of what he might do which is why he tried so hard to get Frank Decicco and Sammy on his side. I don’t have a full list but I will try to list who i know Paul ordered dead Frank Amato Vito Borelli The Eppolitos Johnny Keys Simone Nick Scibetta Roy Demeo Frank Piccolo Many more

Anyone think if Jimmy Eppolito whacked Gaggi and/or Roy; without permission; and in secret; Would Paul have eventually found out who the culprit was?
Jimmy should have done this instead of going to Paul and sealing his death warrant.

Jimmy has some balls though; He knew Roy and Gaggi had a crew of killers and he still floated the idea around that those two guys needed to be six feet under....
He's bold...

Just thought about it; Paul had a deal drugs and die creed; Obviously that's not totally true; Cherry Hills; etc...
If Paul was not close to Gaggi and was strict about his drug creed; Eppolito would have inadvertently gotten his son whacked and Roy killed also.

@JCrusher
Bet Louis Eppolito was affected alot by his uncle's and cousin's murder. I believe he's one of the few who pulled the death sheet off their bodies and saw that their heads were pretty much blown to pieces. That would affect anyone..
You are right about Paul's double standard. I made a topic about the Cherry Hills about a month ago and he was full blown letting them operate with drugs with full immunity... Even let them encroch on Angelo Bruno's Philly territory.

I would love to know that myself. What's interesting; How in the world was Louis Eppolito assigned to their crime scene?? Isn't that a conflict of interest or so

Eppolito Sr told Paul that his son Jim Jim was dealing drugs, which broke Paul's no dealing rule (You deal, you die). Then in the same sentence he asked if he can kill one of Paul's close friends.
He got himself and his son killed by being mind-bogglingly stupid.

@JCrusher
That sounds good; Would love to know. Louis Eppolito possibly didn't know who was under those death sheets before he got to the crime scene but who knows??
@Neo
You summed it up picture perfect; Stupidity on the part of Jimmy.

It’s wild that Castellano had so many people whacked, and he was considered soft and not from the streets, haha. When in Rome....
In Sicily, women are more dangerous than the shotgun.
