Shutup! You guys call him a rat. That's the game. You guys would squeel on your friends as well. You guys have no game or honor... you would snitch to save your own ass. So shutup about Gravano. Gotti tried to bury Gravano on all the crimes.... that's why Gravano retaliated.
I wonder why in his book Underboss he neglected to mention the $5,000 he paid to Mafia cop Louie Eppolito to bury the Frank Fiala murder case. He'd already told the feds about it during his proffers
Ratting? The very nature of the business is greed at all costs, including murder. So, why is anybody surprised that he ratted to save his own ass? If law enforcement were like it is today back in the day, all the old classic gangsters would have turned.
Look at 2:21 he's so lucky he could wear stripes like that. I look horrible in stripes. Just last week I needed to return a sweater to the Ralph Lauren outlet. Man, is he lucky!
Holy Crap This guy lived right next to the school I go to. I guess in kindergarden there was a raid on his house. now there is this chick that lives in his house. hahahahahaha we ran into the building.
yourre right,sammy the bull was a legend,he tried to create a new family in arizona which is made up by one latino,one black,another two oldschool capos before he arrested by Fbi and sentenced,it could be very good mafia movie
i just finished reading UNDERBOSS, it was unbelieveable. it took me 4 sittings to read it, like 3 days. i couldnt put it down once i picked it up, its incredible. Now im reading THE RISE AND FALL OF GOTTI
The government portays Sammy as a "rat", but how do you stay loyal when you're boss is conspiring behind your back! Gotti was a punk and his grandstanding "look at me" attitiude helped the feds start bringing down the mafia way of life. I know the mafia is not dead, but they did get taken down a peg or two. And it started with Gotti!
That movie is full of falsehoods and outright lies. There are some decent books though-Mob Star, Goombata,Rise and Fall of the Last Don- the book to read about Sammy Gravano is Underboss. They all need to be taken with a grain of salt, the truth is somewhere in between. The Westies is great about Jimmy Coonan and Featherstone.
I agree. The Gotti movie was a bullsh#t fluff piece made to make Gotti look somewhat good and put all the blame on Sammy. The Feds went years not knowing who Sammy was because he was so low key and dressed like a common guy.
Do you blame him? Workin for a wanker like John Gotti. The guy thought he was a movie superstar. Fuckin wanker, gotti that is. La Cosa Nostra. Translated means our thing but Gotti didnt get that
They gave him leniency in exchange for testimony. What would you have done? Spend your life in jail, or live quietely on a government allowance in Witness Protection?
(Ironically, he later went public, and then got busted for life on drug charges - lol!)
da stand jedoch das die gotti sache auch mal als film umgesetz worden ist, aber wie heisst der film, ud von welhem regisseur ist es? es gibt 2 filme mit dem titelgangland aber die haben mit der gotti nichts im gerinsten zu tun.
oh man ey der tut mir echt leid, aber cool ist er junge ja, er hat das gewisse etwas, bestimmt könnte er schauspieler werden können, kenn ihn eigentlichnur aus dem buch gangland die jagt nach dem paten john gotti von howard blum,
I completely agree with JoeAccettiero, He has a good point on Sammy. Sammy brought in Shit loads of cash for the family, was loyal to John, then John thought Sammy was getting "Too Powerfull" And had a sitdown with Franky LoCascio about Whacking Sammy.. John's conversation happened to be recorded and picked up by some bugs the Fbi placed.. and Sammy found out Jonh's plan.. What else could he do... The guy was gonna whack him.. thats lke having you're best friend backstab you.
John was going to do what Sammy had done to many of his business partners . Sammy made millions when he wacked D.B. . Sammy and D.B. had 20+ business together.
he snitched because he had too . john gotti wouldnt let sammy speak to his lawyer so sammy was automatically fuked but he gave info because gotti wanted to be free. (gotti did 1000 pushups daily in prison)
you have a real good point there and though the whacking of castellano was not of buisness but of a personal reason of opinion every mobster gives his word and swears he will keep everything in the family.. the whacking of castellano was within the family but testifing was not
That is one main reason (in my opinion) the Italian-American Mafia is nowhere near what it used to be. Everyone gave up the "rules" and honor and it became a disorganized money grab and reckless petty personal vendettas.
Sammy "The Bull" Gravano- A true wise guy, this guy took over most of New Yorks Business..Some call him the Rat, I call him "The Bull" With all due respect John gotti had no business talking about Sammy behind his back, Sammy brought in 100,000 dollars each week for his family..He was unstopable...When he found out what John had done he pretty much said "Hey, if John is in it for himself and can whack Castellano, Im in it for myself and i can Testify" A tribute to a real Mobster-"Sammy The Bull"
john gotti was like blackbeard the pirate ,he snatched 18 whellers with cargo,john and sam were really nice guys both had no easy life it was rough on sam with dyslexia ,he was true to the mafia and respected it,i think they were introduced to the family at a young age ,alot about there life and times goes unspoken but one thing lives on thats there legend ,there bond was full proff,john cut his own throat,brought the whole ship down by talking too much ,john you are missed and loved god bless u
respect due to all the comments ive read showing sammy the deserved respect. the was a big earner and very smart gangster. gotti was a fucking bum who thought he was in a film. sammy had no choice but to sell out the mob i dont think he could've done all that time knowing that it was fagottis fault he was banged up. fuck john gotti pay homage to sammy the bull the last true gambino crime family gangster.
sam you are a true god father ,i was to young to know back in the 70s ,you showed me the true meaning of life , i just want to thank you and send my love , i admire you greatly , you will allways be a hero to me ,everyday the earth spins from sea to shining sea with the name sammy the bull gravano in history,i hope you and your family are well and send my love to you ,you are a brilliant man
sam i remember you dancing with that fake mole made out of black tar poppy juice and that disguise ,boy you could dance get down boggie ,son john travolta would be amazed at your moves ,my ears are still ringing ,its embarrising when i hear music i get words mistaken from bad hearing and sing songs with the wrong words ,you cant get me on that fake piece of candy with the lights out im wise too it ,
sammy was exactly like john gotti,the only difference is john broke rules for the sake of the family,sammy broke the rules to save his own ass,if john didnt talk shit about him on tapes sammy would never have ratted to the feds,gotti left him with no choice
The entire Gambino family administration - Boss John Gotti, Underboss Salvatore Gravano, Consigliere Frank Locoscio - were facing multiple charges in 1991. Much of it from hours of tapes the FBI recorded of their conversations. Some of it included Gotti badmouthing Gravano. Eventually Gravano decided to defect rather than risk getting a life sentence like Gotti ultimately would. As part of his cooperation, he admitted to 19 murders and testified against Gotti and Locascio.
