So I think the decision to become a rat was right, not only to protect himself, but because that is not the Cosa Nostra he once swore to.

If he betray only Gotti it won't be enough to get away with 19 murders.

Sammy didn't kill johns neighbor.it was willow boy or charlie canig I think.it says charlie got rid of favaras body in the book about him

Willow boy!

Not meant in any way, shape or form as a refutation of any condemnation of Bull but...in the thousands of hours of fed tapes contemporaneous with the bug at the Ravinite, not once did Bull incriminate himself or say one negative word about John. Struck me as interesting.


source: Bull's ABC (?) interview with Diane Sawyer.

In my opinion Gravano was the smarter one in terms of maintaning a low profile and being "true LCN". Had he been boss, I'm quite sure the Gambino Family would'tve taken such a hit as they did in the early nineties.

That being said, I personally don't like Sammy. He's complete murderous scum, lower than the dirt himself. He's a shitsack through and through and not just because he's a rat, but he murdered god knows how many people, got his family involved in a drug ring in Arizona, along with psychopathic nature.

Gotti was an arrogant, loudmouth blowhard. But one thing you always have to give him is that he walked the talk. After watching the 60 minutes interview on Gravano, he became one of the few mobsters I genuinely did not like or root for (the latter being a habit I try to curb)

Here's, what I think. Probably you've read his book and watched his interview, he was always for the old ways of making business. He was strong, ruthless, killer, major money maker, not in the spotlights, careful and so on... till John Gotti comes as a boss. For me John Gotti being the boss, was the beginning of the end of the Gambino family then.
If Gravano and Frank DeCicco had been in charge, none of this would happen. John Gotti talked about "public"....
