Anthony Ruggiano Jr. is a former member of the Gambino crime family, which is one of the five families of organized crime in New York City. He is the son of Anthony "Fat Andy" Ruggiano, who was also A Capo, a high-ranking member of the Gambino family. Anthony Ruggiano Jr. has been involved in various criminal activities, including extortion, loan sharking, and racketeering. However, it is important to note that engaging in criminal activities is illegal and not condoned by any reputable organization or individual.
John Gotti was a notorious American mobster who was the boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City during the 1980s. He was known for his flamboyant personality, sharp dressing, and ruthless tactics. Gotti was also known for his ability to evade law enforcement and avoid conviction, earning him the nickname "Teflon Don." However, it is important to note that his actions were illegal and unethical, and he was eventually convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to life in prison. While some may view him as a charismatic figure, it is important to remember the harm he caused to others and the criminal nature of his actions.
During his reign, the Gambino crime family was involved in various criminal activities, including extortion, loan sharking, illegal gambling, and drug trafficking. Gotti was known for his flamboyant personality and his public persona as the "Teflon Don," as he was able to evade conviction in several high-profile trials.
Under Gotti's leadership, the Gambino crime family was involved in several high-profile crimes, including the murder of Paul Castellano, the previous boss of the Gambino family, in 1985. Gotti was also implicated in the murder of several other individuals, including members of rival crime families and his own associates who he believed were disloyal.
Overall, Gotti's reign as the boss of the Gambino crime family was marked by violence, corruption, and illegal activity. He was eventually convicted of racketeering and murder charges in 1992 and sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2002.

Even more so- Gotti just has a very particular look about him. If an actor doesn’t have the looks down, doesn’t matter if he can pull off his personality really, which is hard in its own right. And not many ppl on earth look or can carry themselves like John.

Would be interesting to hear something about John's brother's Gene & Peter. I know Gene did a lot of time on the heroin case, even though the mob isn't involved in drugs, lol, but what else was he involved in, and what did Peter ever do to rise the ranks to boss?

Peter Gotti was a ex sanitation worker and a total moron. The guy had no buisness at all being the boss. He shouldn't have even been a made guy but of course Gotti made him boss when he was locked up. Gene was the real deal he was way more of a boss than John was

@@HamiltonRb also the only reason Peter was ever the boss was because of his brother. After junior Gotti was jailed Peter took over not because he deserved the position but because of his brother.

neil should have declared himself the boss. making paul the boss caused a schism that didn't end until paul was finally clipped. The boss is the boss but when the boss is dead he isn't the boss anymore. John probably would have still become the boss but he wouldn't have had to clip paul to do it.

Ya know.... I used to think Sammy Gravano was probably the 'bigger' (however ya define 'bigger') gangster between himself & Michael Franzese... But Franzese was actually a capo a good deal before Gravano. And a helluva good earning capo, too! I actually happen to believe Franzese's story abt being offered a position as capo from Chin. (But I also believe that such a particular offer may've been a loyalty test that Persico asked Gigante to conduct for him! We'll never know.) Matter of fact, Sammy was still a soldier all the way up to the Castellano clip! And even then, I doubt Gotti would've promoted him had it not been for Frankie DeCicco wanting Gravano to be upped. But why Gotti chose him as his underboss, after Frankie Cheech's death, even if it was a concession to the former 'Castellano'/aka Brooklyn faction of the borgata... I'll certainly never know!

Why does Wade keep referencing the Travolta “Gotti” movie? That movie was unwatchable and scored a whopping 0% on rotten tomatoes. That means not one reviewer liked it.

@crimenentertainment Жыл бұрын

Good or bad, the point of the show is to reference real-life guys to the movies. If you watch that later Gotti expecting better than the 96 Gotti, yes, you will be greatly disappointed. Watching it purely of the standpoint of facts that are missing or changed is what I think is the draw. Definitely not Entertainment. Although I thought Stacey Keech did decent as O'Neil. Hard to beat Quinn tho.
