Yes. Why did he bother?
He had the brains and nous of guys like Gotti, Gravano, Quack Quack Ruggiero, Roach Rampino, De Meo, Testa, Senter and Borelli to conspire against and implicate him in crimes.
Why bother with these nobodies when you have this ragtag collection of heroin addicts, Studio 54 jocks, serial killers, chronic gamblers, loudmouths, morons and egotistical narcissists.
