One of the books I’ve read has it that supposedly Gotti got his marching orders to kill McBratney from Carlo directly. He bragged to his guys about meeting with him.
But do you think he ever did? Gotti was not a made guy in 1973 or at any time Carlo was alive. He got made in IIRC June 1977. He was Acting Capo for Fatico from 72-77 but emphasis on Acting.
Would Carlo have personally met with Gotti, and more to the point, directly given him an order to kill, this late?
As I understand it, Carlo rarely went out after 1970, due to health reasons and also due to increasing federal scrutiny. And he put Paul in as Street Boss in 67 to insulate himself.
So what do you guys think the truth is?
Was it Gotti Bsing to his guys to look more important than he was, or did he take orders from Carlo directly?
Another flaw in Gotti claiming to meet Carlo is, wouldn’t Carlo have passed the hit on McBratney down through Neil. So isn’t it more likely the order descended from Carlo - Paul - Neil - Gotti?

It was an important hit, so Dellacroce would have brought Gotti to meet with Carlo Gambino, meaning this is the guy I want in charge of the hit. Gambino didn't have to have a word, only a nod or a shake of his head. Gotti could have met with Gambino and no words could be exchanged with Dellacroce doing all or most of the talking. So here’s a question If you’re still gonna give direct orders to Capos on matters such as murders, why have a Street/Front Boss? Isn’t the whole point of a Street Boss to be the lightning rod, to confuse the Feds? To tighten the chain of command such that whoever the Front Boss is, is day to day the Boss, as far as the troops are concerned, in case anyone is talking out of school?

I agree, in fact many people seemed to have taken the 1996 movie as accurate and make assumptions based on that crappy movie. Jr closed the door on him with that shit show with the always scowling Travis playing Sr. That was a film travesty. That "film" was a complete disaster. Embarrassingly bad for everyone involved. The absolute worst scene was Neil explaining to John what the five boroughs are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZoaWSkht0M (17 sec) No redeeming qualities whatsoever, it was just complete garbage.
