Joe was always the business man and James was always a thug since way back, when they were still young adults.

Gotti hated Laforte Sr
Dellacroche shelved Buddy Laforte

During the Gotti years they were on the outs.

Not sure if Laforte sr was officially shelved but t think the feds warned him at one point saying his life was in danger

They picked Gotti talking about him so bad that the feds thought he was going to whack him
