By Gotti's own account, the "best I ever did was go on a few hijackings". That might be an understatement, but I don't think Gotti was known as a money maker. I'm sure he did bring in a lot of money, but was that due to his own business savvy or due to the fact that he was in charge of a big crew in lucrative territory?

However, you could say the same about Scarfo. Leonetti said they weren't making that much money in the early days prior to casinos coming to Atlantic City. And when they did, was that because Scarfo was an "earner" or because they were in the right place at the right time?
