Gotti only hastened the process. Don't forget, the Commission case indictments were handed down while Paul was still alive.

What I'm trying to say is, Gotti didn't help, and he certainly provoked the Feds into moving a little more zealously against the Gambinos. But between RICO, Giualiani and everything else, the Feds would have eventually done just as much damage to a Mafia without John Gotti, as it did to the Mafia with John Gotti.
