I’m surprised Scarfo doesn’t get the same hate as Gotti, a lot of people on here seem to glorify Scarfo.

According to all the turncoats, Scarfo LOVED being in the limelight, especially if he or his gang made the papers. He figured it’d send fear throughout the underworld, and NY would respect him. What he didn’t work out was (along with Gotti) was that being so public was bad for business and eventually bought down the entire mob.

Not saying they wouldn’t have been bought down, but at lease be secretive about it. When you’re throwing boat parties and having every soldier and capo turn up, just like Gotti did at the Ravenite, it just made things easier for the Feds.

I know people are in awe of him because he’s so trigger happy and was fearless but he was still stupid and let his ego run afoul
