The only guy he was able to fool was a desperate old man, Greg DePalma. I'm actually surprised DePalma wasn't put on the shelf when he was released. There were people wary of DePalma and his big mouth from the 70's, Nino Gaggi thought about whacking him back then. DePalma then was one of the major reasons behind the jailing of Gotti Jr, DePalma was all over FBI bugs talking about shaking down Scores.
Sums Greg up perfectly. He was a careless, desperate, impetuous man, even when he was younger. And although the end of his life reads almost like Greek tragedy (his son Craig's suicide attempt, subsequent coma and eventual death, his wife and other son turning their backs on him, and his dying in prison), he was a pretty lucky guy. Because by rights he should have been put out to pasture years ago. And no one would have scolded the Gambino higher-ups if they had whacked him.
