Going back to Nicky , The Feds would never allow him to get his hooks in again, They knew If Nicky stayed on the street long enough and got settled in and ever got that Top Spot they'd have a huge problem on their hands !! They didnt want another Ruthless, Cunning, Powerful guy like Gotti in there! Nicky should stay home and retire when he gets out, The Feds will be looking to get a death certificate outta him !
