John Gotti is always put down becuse he supposedly loved the lime light.
Im here to tell you thats bull shit. The true reason Gotti lived on front street was because he wasnt afraid of prison, this fuckin guy was a true gangster. He just wasnt afraid of going away. Give the man some respect.
Castellano was more a business man that a gangster but run good the family while Gotti in 4 years:
led the fed to know every 21 family capos;
made his dumb son and his more dumb brothers;
with the "no plea order" his brother gene and piney armone get long sentence (gene get 50 y while can had only 25 y);
his badmouthing convinced his underboss to flip;
In 1991 there was only 15 crew while in the 1986 was 21;
Made lose respect apponting his son as acting boss that for example dont burned a list of people to made,made lose money during meeting with more smart wiseguy ecc
At The end only in 2011 after Cefalù becomed the boss the family turned to the old sicilian way to made bussiness.
