aways amazed at why a powerful boss like the chin never got gotti. I'm sure with gigante's resoures somehow, someway,
he could have clipped gotti, maybe after the first attempt he
decided he didn't want a war, let gotti go to prison. but,
maybe i'm wrong but, I sincerely believe that the chin if he really, really, wanted to whack him he could have. just my opinon.
Binnie, it took the 5 families 6 years to catch up to Albert Anastasia to make him answer for the disappearance of Vincenzo Mangano. And Albert wasn't hidden nor his whereabouts unknown. It took that long to pick a new candidate for Boss, gather political support for that new faction, farm out the contract, pick a hit team, get read to strike, and finally take the guy out. 6 years. And Albert committed the same offense as Gotti come to think of it.
I don't think Gigante ever "kissed and made up" with Gotti. That might be what Gotti thought or hoped for, but I think Gigante was old school and they never forget.
