Gravano had reasons to lie if he was coaxed into it, or if he wanted to lash out at other Gambino Family members. He said he flipped because of Gotti, yet he told on everyone. He also said he was going straight, yet got right into things as soon as he hit Arizona. With Castellano's home wired to catch all conversations, did any come up where him and Conte discussed their dealings?
I think you're grasping at straws. He flipped because of Gotti but his deal with the government required him to tell
everything he knew and not lie about it. I don't recall Castellano being picked up talking about Conte's drug business but that doesn't prove anything. He wasn't picked up talking about the Gambino brother's drug ring either. I just don't see a reason for Gravano to make up that story of talking to Conte for nothing.
