I think the key player in the whole scenario was Neil Dallacroce. He was able to stall Castellano from getting the "Ruggiero tapes",which bought the crew some time. He knew that once Paul heard the recordings,some action would have to be taken. Neil may have figured that he could sitdown with Paul and get Gotti off the hook as far as getting executed,but I agree that Angie would have to go. He was pretty much the sacrifice play. Bu the same token,I believe that as long as Neil was alive,Gotti would have never dared to make a move on Paul. Dellacroce would never sanction a non-Commission ordered hit on a sitting Boss. In fact I think Neil was so old school that if Paul ordered him to hit Gotti,he would have done it,no questions asked. I think the other key player was DeCicco, as he was really well liked and respected. Seeing three prominent players line up behind Gotti, was enough for all to pause. Gravano, Decicco and Joe Gallo.... Two biggest brooklyn crews with the most hitters Gotti is from Queens And he took over for Neil, and had basically his whole faction behind him. This was a perfectly planned and executed, execution and take over of a family.

This was a perfectly planned and executed, execution and take over of a family. Yeah, but what did it result in? All the players you mention were dead, or in jail, within 5 years Gotti took over a powerhouse of a family that had been run really well by Paul for almost 20 years and he ran it into the ground with his ego by 1992. The Family took a good decade or so to recover from the damage Gotti and co did. Greedy or not, remote or not, Paul ran a tight ship and the Gambinos were a powerhouse while he was at the helm. Gotti ruined it all.

Gotti didn't't ruin it, the mob was on the way out with Castellano set to get life, and Joe N. Gallo getting sent away had nothing to do with Gotti. Same for Gigante and his people. Look at the other families, they all went down, none worse than Massinos people, he picked a bunch of rats as captains and as his underboss. Then he ratted. Gotti had Locascio and a few other good men, and unlike Massino or Casso, Gotti ddi no that after his conviction Gravano hurt the Gambinos, Gotti didn't.
