Just curious, how comes nobody shitts on Scarfo for his love of the media/ cameras

He loved it when he appeared on the news especially the papers and got insanely jealous when journalists mentioned other members ie Frabkie Flowers/ Salvi Testa articles

Every time I see footage of him walking to court he had a huge grin like he couldn't contain himself, and would chat with the reporters quickly. U can just tell he was loving the attention. he would put on his best suit and loved the whole "boss" image. Quaff up his hair like John Gotti. He would go to a restaurant and deliberately talk really loud swearing so everyone would know he was a boss/mobster

Tommy Del said "we might as well get jackets that said mob on the back, then we wouldn't have to do all these things (Scarfo wanted everyone to know they were mobsters). The more publicity a murder got (he preferred dead bodies to be put on the streets as opposed to burial) that way it sends a message

Whereas everyone attributes Gotti's downfall to his love of cameras, I've rarely heard anyone say that about Scarfo. His downfall was equally the same, the Feds hated him with a vengeance and being all over the news and relishing in it like Nicky did, that made him a bigger target.

He would also demand all his troops and capos come to his open boat parties knowing full well the Feds were in a chopper above taking pics/ as well
as news media. no different to
gotti ordering his men to stand outside the Ravenite

He would get chauffeur driven around in a limo when in Florida and everything about Nicky was the opposite of low key. He loved the limelight as much as Gotti did only difference is, Gotti had a bigger public following due to his good looks. No doubt Scarfo would have welcomed more media attention had they come running
