Gotti was about 75% fictional. The made gotti look like a robin hood figure and even a smart gangster.....he was the exact opposite

john was a very smart guy who did dumb and stupid things because of his ego..extremely well read

I agree crusher, he was probably the dumbest mob boss ever, look how he tore apart his own family, and his son john jr is even dumber.

Smart how Bronx? Because his celebrity mobster lifestyle and some of the moves he made were not very bright.

hello Bean, he knew the life inside and out , he was very book smart. his ego would not allow him to be anything but boss, he did the stupidest thing killing a guy that was going to prison for life, he destroyed his brother and best friend john c, not letting them take a deal. ect. he did many stupid dumb things.. can not say he was not intelligent /. like a doctor who has murdered his wife thinking he is smarter than the law and won't get caught, brilliant man but did a stupid act..

his brother pete holds that position by far

I see what you mean Bronx. Spot on on Peter.

also john is on tape saying i know why they want to kill deebee, i let them kill him anyway..he knew it was wrong to kill him but that big ego could not say don't kill him..to angelo and sam..john was one of the worst bosses in history of C,N.

JCrusher, I know it was fictional. I just commented on how they made Big Paul look like a whale lol, they could have picked a better actor for it.

I wasn't scolding you. I just meant in general for those who haven't seen it

Eh he wasn't really smart. he liked to act like he was. Joe Coffey said it best "he had the vocabulary of a sailor...a moron" lol

Labeled as Vinny but looks like Gotti being greeted outside the ravenite

joe butch,gotti,looks like damato, scala, morelli, norman

son of a bitch bronx you can tell them guys by the side/back of their heads minus John? youre good you..nah nah nah you you got a gift

even a broken clock is right twice a day

bronx quit bein modest u know ur shit

if i know i say it.. if i don't i move on ..thank you Mikey

great doc..

Thanks !!

George Anastasia said something very interesting in a recent interview regarding John Alite. He said every country in Italy has its own subculture, its own "ways" and tht includes the criminal lifestyle. I forgot the saying in Italian but its translation was something like, "look good while doing it", and thats the Neopolitan way. Whereas the Sicilian way is to "be in the shadows and to not let on to what you really are and your true intentions, keep things between us". And you can see that with Gotti, whom was a Neopolitan and was flashy even when it came to criminal activity. Another Neopolitan boss was the same way, Al Capone. Of course there alwats exceptions, but my point is , Gotti was smart, he wasnt as dumb as guys like Joe Coffey wanted to paint him out to be. His flashiness and brash ways were more attributed to that simply being his way of life, and not his intelligence or mental capacity. Credits to CC for pointing this out for me.

Gotti was an inarticulate moron who could barely pull off a hijacking, run a book or set up a drug deal successfully let alone be an underworld construction magnate like Paul Castellano.

His children and grandchildren are also imbeciles.

There is ample evidence of this.

lol

I agree Moet. But let's get some fuck ingredients pictures going.

Lucky

Lucky again

Hopefully without the link.

The Bergin crew pulled in quite a bit of money from their JFK highjackings, this is fact. Gene Gotti, Angelo Ruggiero , Mark Reiter, Salvatore Ruggiero were major heroin traffickers and also made quite a bit of money from it, also all were Gotti confidants, this is fact. Reiter & Sal Ruggiero were multi-millionaires from their drug proceedings, this is fact. Construction was NEVER one of Gotti's rackets, Gravano was the construction guy, this is fact.

absolutely moe, spot on !! what has any gotti ever done?? they are undoubtably the biggest morons around the Italian people today.

Leading a crime family is one thing they've done that the average person hasnt, not even the average mobster. If they were such "imbeciles", they wouldve been killed and buried. Not to mention they still run the Gambino's and have done so for more than a decade now. Again, not something the average mobster gets to achieve.
