I read (before they locked him up in supermax)that when Gotti was in jail awaiting his trial that he was idolized by many of the black "gangsta" types that were awaiting trials for things like drug dealing, strong arm robbery etc.

He told them all never to take a plea, make the government come after you and spend their money on a trial.

The next paragraph was how all these stupid kids who listened to Gotti who could have gotten 5 year plea deals got 20 to life for taking their shit to trial.

Somebody on here should know......

Did they ever catch Don Carlo on a bug????

John Coffey pretty much tells it like it is when it comes to these guys. Coffey spoke about how "cagey" Carlo was and how stupid Gotti was.
