How would the daughter's of mob bosses know who was made, who did what or who was close to the boss, because Angel Gotti talks like she knew all about that life, and I can't see John Gotti discussing business at home? She has actually said you were not close to her father at all, so how would she know anything about that life, unless he told her or she was at the Ravenite?

John gotti jr lived in Howard Beach and all his close friends were in Howard Beach...Howard beach people stayed with there own..... As did ozone Park people, Woodhaven and, Ridgewood. Howard beach and ozone Park guys mixed due to the fact most of the clubs were located there. John jr and his friends definitely ran Howard beach in 80s and early 90s .

But I was born & raised deep-down in the bootheel of Missouri, which was solidly aligned with, & fought for The Confederate States of America! *And as an aside... I looked at a list of notorious Cosa Nostra bosses who came to my home state to die... It's un-fukn-real! John Gotti from The Gambinos, Lil Nicky Scarfo from The Brunos, Cadillac Frank Salemme from The Patriarcas, Fat Tony Salerno (who was longtime *street boss*) of The Genovese, Tony 'Ducks' Corallo from The Luccheses, & the only reason Joe Bonanno didn't die here was because he got compassionate release right before he did die, I believe?? Regardless, he was in Springfield Federal Prison Hospital for a looong time! And I've probably missed a couple, few of em, too! I wanna say Russell Bufalino, of the borgata that bore his name, the Bufalinos, died here too! I'm abt 95% sure of it... Those are just insane statistics, man! Crazy!

The story that needs to be told is the one of SR cooperating while he was in prison. Gave information, confirmed a lot of Sammy's testimonies that were never given to the public. John SR knew JR wanted out and he was going to do what he could to help that. John JR took a plea knowing that SR had made the play to help. Nobody wants to accept that the king of Cosa Nostra spoke to the FBI.

LCN just isn't worth it. I can't imagine the constant fear of your own friends eventually, those in other crews, wondering what the boss really thinks of you, not withstanding the dozens of branches of government that all want a piece of you. Throw in normal stresses of family life, which are still quite a serious deal, now even further tarnished by that life and you have the perfect recipe for pain and depression. I don't think the good outweighs the bad here, I really don't. Not withstanding, I think a good percentage of mafia members aren't making what the public perceives them to be making. Any opinion on this Mr. Ruggiano? My first fascination with the Italian mafia when I was watched the movie The Client as a 9 year old kid.
