In "Boss of Bosses," Kurins and O'Brian say that the other Dons and higher-ups worried that Paul would flip rather than go to prison and be away from Gloria Olarte, his Colombian housekeeper and mistress. I'm guessing that Gotti knew that, and figured that none of the other bosses would be too unhappy if he whacked Paul.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
