according to John Jr, in his book he claims not only was his father told by a Luchese guy their family behind the murders against the Gambinos, but Junior himself got close to someone in the Luchese whilst doing time. And they told him the same thing

Had Gotti sr beaten that fourth trial, does anyone believe he would have dared launch a war vs the Lucheses (not much was mentioned about the Genovese) according to Gotti jr, therefore if it did kick off, it’ll primarily be with the Lucheses

But Gotti did have that sit down with Chin who assured him there was no problems and IF there was any truth to Bobby Manna wanting to kill Gotti, Chin said he would have Bobby killed

Now had the Chin continued to make moves, again, does anyone feel Gotti would dare strike back

Or in contrast do u think he would just up his bodyguards/ and media attention (having all that media and FBI surveillance) actually saved his life I would say. No doubt he knew it

Obviously this is all hypothetical and we would never know... but given the scenario and characters involved, what do u think would have happened
