Why would the stupid Gambino Capos vote for Gotti to be Boss after he broke every Mafia Commandment by killing his Boss? Why would the Capos even need a Boss? For what reason?? What would Gotti do for them?? In Chicago, A man was the Top Boss Of The Outfit FOR A REASON. Mainly it was because of his strong political ties which enabled business to Flourish. Also, The Top Boss had acquired a lot of money and he INVESTED some of it into franchises. So, If you were a made guy in the Outfit, You WANTED to be a partner with a man of this caliber.
It seems in the highly decentralized Gambino Family, Gotti didn't know anything about what other people were doing. He really had nothing to offer any of the other captains. Why would the Gambino Family even need a Boss?? Gotti killed Castellano before Castellano killed him. It was kill or be killed. I understand that reason. However, Seriously, why would all the Captains give a percentage of the money they were receiving to Gotti? What would they gain in return from Gotti? I never did understand the logic in any of it.
