Jimmy Brown fialla- Good capo yes but this is the same guy who basically double crossed the Gambino administration
That's because he, like Danny Marino, recognized how ridiculous it was for a guy like Gotti to become boss. What does it say when a relatively obscure capo from Queens can whack out the boss and take over the whole operation virtually overnight?
Excellent point Ivy - I have wondered how many Gambino's, Genovese and Lucchese guys were saying to themselves, "you have got to be kidding me" when Gotti became boss. Especially the Genovese's - you know they were licking their chops.
I believe the wiseguys with half a brain knew Gotti was an idiot, and several of these comments were picked up on FBI bugs. I recall reading after Gotti was convicted that some Genovese guys were captured talking about how good Gotti would be for all the other families.
