I'm 50/50 on that Gotti grandson:

50% of me thinks he's an associate of the Bonanno's or Gambino's. He involved in too much crime, making too much money, and living in Howard Beach. He has the connections to be an associate.

50% of me says the last name Gotti brings too much heat from cops. What capo or made solidier would want a Gotti with him? That brings instant police/FBI attention. This kid is a moron and has to be independent.

We do know none of the media accounts or LE quotes list him as an associate.
