Those of you that think Scarfo was a bigger earner than Gotti should read Phil Leonettis book. Scarfo and Gotti both weren't huge earners. They were more of enforcers than anything. Scarfo made peanuts compared to others until Angelo Bruno died in 80, (Bruno wanted Natale over the union until Ralph was locked up)really didn't earn much more until he was Boss in 81 and implemented the Street Tax. Gotti was about the same, Bookmaking, Hijacking, Gambling. Maybe a little more in the early 80s with the Heroin money. They were both very similar and never were huge earners until they were bosses. Nicky in the March/April of 81, Gotti in late 85.not sure why the argument.
