I'm still wondering though; Why didn't he just use the Cherry Hill Gambino's? There were some murderous guys in that crew. They had connections everywhere; and im pretty sure they would have gotten rid of Gotti; and those who were close with him. Castellano was just too slow to act..
Interesting question. I don't know but I guess because Cherry Hill is about a 2 hour ride from NYC. I don't know how much contact Gotti had with the Cherry Hill people before he became boss. If people from far away had showed up at the Ravenite or something when there was tension between Gotti and Castellano it might have put him on the defensive. John Gotti may not have been a sophisticated boss like, say a Frank Costello, but I think he was street smart. I am sure him and his crew were expecting Castellano to do something, they would have seen it coming.
