Thing about Gotti was, he was getting tailed 24/7 hence he figured whoever he meets would get spotted anyway

And another reason was, he didn’t want to be no Paulie hiding away in a mansion- only meeting key players etc again look
how that turned out for Paul. He was going down anyway

U might as well be in a cave some place, but once they have u as boss and your underlings get caught. You’re goin down regardless
