In the Luciano biography I recall somewhere in the first few chapters that he didn't want his guys dressing flashy like Capone and bringing on all the media attention. This thread is funny. I meant that Gotti had nothing to do with the garment center until he was boss, same thing with construction. Hijacking trucks from jfk is comparable to picking fruit in comparison to the white collar crimes. Same thing with Merlino. He didn't create any notable rackets. This insurance scam is because he is the boss. Scarfo had Philly on lockdown. Look at the unions, extortion, and companies he had. He was crazy but had his shit together. At least that's how I feel.
