Also, like was said in that Boss of Bosses book, that Criminal/Corporate CEO image Paul was so fond of, was kinda blown by the fact he had Billotti as his chief confidant....
That whole thing was propagated in order to sway people against Castellano in the first place.
I'm not saying it's untrue but it's probably grossly exaggerated.
If you asked the older guys like Marino, Gallo or Failla if Castellano was a gangster they would probably say yes, and if they were asked about Gotti and Ruggiero they would probably say they didn't have the mentality to rise above associate.
I mean look at the Diane Sawyer interview Billy posted. Gravano didn't implicate ANYBODY on the tapes the Feds got him on.
Gotti was implicating people left, right and center.
Yet Gravano is the bad guy?
Poor Frankie Loc deliberately staying monosyllabic in the tapes in order not to implicate himself in anything - and he's still in prison to this day because of this Gotti retard!
You telling me he doesn't wish now in hindsight that Castellano was boss in 1990??
