lets face it...times do change and if you don't change with it, you are thru. Look at Gotti's Record. His rise to power is so short and most of it is fighting with the goverment and spent in court, or jail. So this is the top spot in the family hu? Only thing he did was make a name for himself...was it good for him or his family or mafia family. Not really. The smart people are the ones that lay low, take in the money and use it to make life better for themselves and their family, not high price lawyers!

Originally posted by Don Marco: Technology works 2 ways. With the wealth and influence that the Gambino family had, Gotti could've used anti-bugging measures. Signals can be jammed, frequencies scrambled, etc.. Gotti's arrogance and the belief that he could bribe jurors or otherwise beat the charges lead to the downfall. Think of it - he takes over in 1986 and is gone for life in 1992. In that amount of time the Gambino's became a shell of the powerfull force they once were.
If he spent less time with his tailors and lawyers and more time being careful and low key the Gambino's might still be a force. Hi, In Casino, Nicky/Tony set up his own anti-bugging measures. He hired top people to check his home.

The FBI was relentless towards Mr. Gotti? Why are you making Mr. Gotti out to be a victim anyways? Originally posted by Paul Pisano: Hi, Gotti's flaw was that he talked too much and made Gravano underboss. Gravano worked for Big Paul Castellano and sold him out. How could Gotti trust him? As for the tapes they mean nothing. With today's technology they can be doctored and juries know this. Having the Bull testify however only collaborated the tapes. No Sammy, Gotti had a 50/50 chance of beating the case.
Paul Actually, they all worked for Paul Castellano, Gravano didn't sell him out anymore then the rest of the people that took part in the assassination did. -Lucky
