They went crazy with Gotti. They had cases that stuck against Corello and Tieri, ad by the way, they had them all on tapes too. So Gotti was not the only one recorded. He got daily haircuts? So what? He did try to avoid publicity's s I said he tried to avoid them but the reporters were tipped off to where he would be.
As for you saying this:
"..responding with a smart remark to as many questions from reporters as he could,"
you are wrong again. He might give a comment, but he would keep walking to avoid them . Look at every video of him , he never stopped for reporters. If you have one of him giving an interview, show it.
What is this:
"...welcoming them at his home.."
Huh??? Are you mixed up? He never welcomed them into his home, A video him and his family once took was put out by the feds, but not him. You have everything wrong.
I said at his home, not in his home. I have nothing wrong, in fact I was able to get private access to perhaps the biggest archive of network news footage of mobsters available on the internet. I usually only browse the footage pertaining to mobsters I'm doing biographies on, yet whenever I'm watching a news program discussing a mobster from the 80s/90s, no matter who, there goes a clip of Gotti's smug smiling face popping up showing him loving attention or blabbering to someone. It's alarming.
Before acting like you have seen all the footage of Gotti being an egotistical attention whore, I can assure you that haven't seen even 1/10th of all the footage of him welcoming the cameras, engaging the news crews and speaking to reporters like the bumbling blabbering narcissist he was.
