That is all true. I remember one video, when his grandson visited him in prison, and said that he wanted to be a basketball star. Gotti, Sr. laughed and said "You need to take drugs. You need to lie and cheat." and then his grandson said "Fine. I'll be a crook then." That set Gotti, Sr. off. He was like "Don't ever talk to me like that again! I will give you a beating you won't forget!"
