Scarfo actually infiltrated Unions in Atlantic City. Scarfo knew how to politic in the mob, using his connections to Bobby Manna, to fill the power vaccum after Testa gets blown up. Scarfo was probably more powerful then Angelo Bruno but he killed the Family off.
Gotti was just a charismatic thug. Got respect for the guy doing his time and keeping his mouth shut but he should've never been Boss.
Absolutely. He was a tough guy but basically a thug. He was able to connect with the right people like Fatico and Neil who are responsible for him rising. Let’s be honest the guy wasn’t a good earner other than being a hijacker but even that he wasn’t great at since he got caught and went to jail. He was also a degenerate gambler who pissed away the crew’s profits which in part forced them into the heroin business
