@ Tonytough
He also respected those who he feared; He could have gotten rid of the Cherry Hill Gambino's who were close with Paul Castellano. He let them earn via drugs; knowing they were violent; and he didn't want to rock the boat with those in sicily.
Even though Nino Gaggi was indicted on charges around the time Gotti became boss; He was out on the streets for about 4 months and refused to meet with Gotti. Refusing to meet a boss could be a death sentence.
He was stand-up; and tolerant in some ways...

Decicco wouldnt be boss in my opinion. Gotti was the boss and Decicco liked him. I mean he betrayed Castellano for Gotti as did Gravano.
. He didn’t betray Castellano because He loved Gotti. There were many other factors than that. There was Paul’s greed, there was the Frank Piccolo murder that really was a bad move by Paul, there was the fact that Paul planned to name Tommy Gambino as acting boss. So it wasn’t that Gotti was this fantastic choice. I also think Frankie was smart enough to know Gotti would eventually screw himself with his flamboyant ways which did happen. Look like I said I know you are a big Gotti fan that’s fine but you give the guy way too much credit. I just try to be objective. I give him credit for being a tough guy and all of that. But the majority of people will tell you he was one of the worst bosses of all time.

Neo, not true ,sr made lil nick captain Nicky was promoted in 1992 while Snr was in prison. Since Jnr was acting boss in 1992 and liked Corozzo, I assumed he was responsible for Nicky's promotion.

@Lenox,
@JCrusher is right. Scarfo was a better earner then Gotti "Individually" As a whole when Gotti was boss; He was making more then Scarfo.
Gigante was light years better then Gotti as the boss of a major crime family. Only people I'd say come close to him was Corallo and maybe Castellano....
Chin's life wasn't as horrible as you think..... He was still visiting social clubs; resteraunts.... Things of that nature... Taking vacations...
And too JCrushers point; Gotti was a horrible boss.... I put him on the category of Persico and Rastelli..

Thanks Zavattoni!!! I just try to be fair. I’ve been studying Gotti for many years. This is not just my opinion. The majority of people, mobsters, and law enforcement have said similar things about Gotti. No problem bud; You're a knowledgble poster; and you're right. It's common knowledge that Gotti was a ******** boss... If he didn't get arrested in 1992; I think the Genovese and Lucchese's would have had him dead in the streets like a dog.
