Im not saying anything about a war between the 2, but what do you think detroit thought about it.i know detroit couldnt do shit about it.but as a member of cosa nostra, thats a fucked up thing to do by gotti.couldn't find it on the internet. Does anyone on here recall the conversation?Dell or any of the other longtime posters?


From what I remember (I unfortunately have not been unable to find the conversation either), Gotti wasn't trying to pin any heat on the Giacalone's, Tony Jack to be specific. They shared a lawyer, and had a mutual friend.

I also have heard from a reliable source that between Tony Jack's release from Prison in 85-86, and Gotti's arrest in 1990, Tony Jack went to New York and possibly met with Gotti.
