I feel like John Gotti is a "gateway drug" guy whose profile fascinates people into LCN at first who might not have otherwise cared about the subject - but the deeper you get into it and the more you learn, the more you realize what a terrible boss he was. Guys like Ducks Corallo or Chin Gigante don't appear on the surface to be fascinating to anybody but when you really learn about these enormous enterprises they ran as if they were Fortune 500 businesses it is far more interesting than watching old clips of Gotti parading his latest Brioni suit down the 200 block of Mulberry street.

As someone who has read about all of this for far too many years I too am sick of the oversaturation of all things Gotti on the topic. Worse still are the Gravanos and Alites* of the world who try to piggyback on the Gotti coattails and make a living off it. Just a couple more of the gifts the Gotti family gave to LCN watchers.

*Forgot to add Kuklinski to this list. Second biggest LCN bullshitter after all-time champion fantasist Tom Papania
