I don't know why people have this opinion that Paul Castellano was just some yuppie, used to only the finer things in life and couldn't handle a jail sentence. The guy was a street guy majority of his criminal career, he did the blue collar rackets, he was in the streets.

Granted, if Angelo Lombardo can flip, anything's possible. But Paul was a gangster before he became a boss and a racketeer, I think he'd have better chances in prison, than most seem to believe.

And Roy DeMeo didn't get a last laugh at anything, he's dead. Murdered on his son's birthday, found in a trunk. There's nothing cool or prizeworthy about that.
