Yet he's never been convicted of drug trafficking, or even charged. Which in itself disputes your claim of him being an "illiterate moron". If he was simply a "glorified drug peddler" , yet never convicted of any drug crimes, let alone charged, that would take some real smarts to insulate himself to the point of him NEVER being charged of a drug crime. Not even Vito Genovese was capable of that...And those people have to do with it simply because of the fact that majority of these crimes were committed under Gotti's supervision, when he was running the Bergin crew for Fatico.
