Yea gotti was flashy, but whacked? That's a little much especially being a boss there's tons a guys who are flashy , look at Joey Merlino the guys whole lifestyle is flashy but I agree w Belmont in the sense that once your the boss your the main target there gonna do anything they can to take you down whether your in a bathrobe or gucci suit now if we're talking about associates or soldiers and aren't known as much then yea not being flashy and staying low key is the way to go but gotti was flashy and outspoken from day 1 he wasn't going to change when he became boss and everybody knew that if ur low key coming up it's likely you will remain that way even when given a higher position but if your flashy and outspoken from the beginning it's only going to get worse as the money starts coming in more some guys love being That Guy the one that all the eyes are on and some are good living nice and being low key but when word is out your boss it doesnt matter how u live there gonna be on you that's why some don't want the title for the simple fact of the heat that comes with it
