Del according to Leonetti the meeting with Gotti was after he took over the Gambino's and it was a kind of a get together to introduce the new administration to the Philly guys and for the Philly Family to pay their respects to the new boss Gotti.


"In early 1986, Scarfo and Leonetti paid their
respects to John Gotti as the new boss of the Gambino
Family. In their initial meeting, Scarfo apprised Gotti
of the problems caused by the Gambino brothers in
his area and specifically cited the beatings at the Deptford
Tavern"
