He was a civilian. From what Mikey Scars told me, he told me, they went to school together. He said he was a happy-go-lucky kid, riding his bicycle in the area. Yeah, he had some problems like everybody else, like a lot of other people did at that time. But he didn't warrant to be killed. He got killed because he knew some deep, dark secrets, maybe about Gravano.
But that certainly was not a warranted mob killing. Those were two killings there that you could take them immediately off that list. Those were civilians. So to sit there and project yourself as this guy, this good guy. He was never a good guy. He was a treacherous, scheming guy. Money was his God. His family was alive because of me.
My father, when Sammy first flipped, the first visit we had to see him, he was sick to his stomach. He said, you know what? I violated my own ethics, he said.
My father sang this to me in the visit in MCC when they walked Sammy out that night. The previous night, actually. I think it was November 8th, if I'm not mistaken. He says, punk couldn't do any time. He said, the punk couldn't do any time. He says, that's it. He couldn't do time. And I says, well, and I'm watching him vent a bit, my father.
He's like this and he's looking back and he's completely beside himself. Like he's disappointed, not that he didn't expect. He's disappointed in himself for allowing this guy to move up. He's disappointed. His love for Frankie DiCicco and some of the old-timers that were proponents of Gravano for listening. John was for listening.
John had better choices, and he allowed this guy to become what he is. And he fully knew, before they got pinched, what he was. He started now to pay attention and see what Sammy really was, okay? And I'm waiting for instructions like, what are we supposed to do? Here we are. We're sitting here. I'm here. Jackie D'Amico, my Uncle Pete, listening to my father.
And then he turns to me and he says, you make sure, John, nobody harms his family. We don't do that. Make sure nobody harms his family. I left. Gathered everybody up and went to everybody. Went to all the social clubs. Spoke to everybody. And I said, make sure, make sure, make sure. And I got a lot of pushback. There was a group of individuals that wanted to take his house down.
They wanted to take his house down with his family in it. And they wanted it. And they couldn't have his crew. They wanted them. And I told them, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. This is not Italy. This is America. John Gotti is not those men. It's not going to happen, and that's that. And we did not let it happen. Did he care? Did he care? He went to the program.
Now, remember now, he went to the program and did this when the mob wasn't squeamish on hurting people. Maybe they are now, but they had a penchant for hurting people back then, a lot of people, okay?
I'm not computer literate. I never watch any podcasts.
I have the original tapes. I have the original tapes. It's he talking to Frankie Locazio and saying, Frankie, he's looking... Frankie was an older man. Frankie was one of the classiest operators in that world, was probably one of the youngest guys in history to get the job, to go into that world, to go into that life. I think he was about 23 when he got the job, Frankie.
Frankie was a... And my father trusted Frankie. He was an elder statesman. A man of very limited words. Very limited words. In fact, the only time I really had him have... He had an open conversation, really spoke, was at his sentencing. It was when he told Judge Glass that, ìI'm innocent. You're giving me a life sentence. However, it's an honor to be John Gotti's friend.î
If there were more men like John Gotti in this world, this world would be a better place. And he praised my father to the high heavens because Frankie was a traditional loyalist. He adored my father. My father adored him right back. Okay, right back. So this is John Gotti who has, who does he talk to? There's no complaint department. He is it. The buck stops with John Gotti, right?
So he's talking to his number two guy, Frankie, very close to him. He's talking to Frankie saying, Frankie, what do you want me to do here? He says, I've got all skippers coming in. This one's coming, this one's coming. His names, they're coming in. He keeps opening up businesses all over the place. We're not supposed to open up businesses. Paul did that. We're not supposed to open up businesses.
We're supposed to let the men open the businesses. They got to earn. Okay, the men have to earn. They'll take care of us. But we can't be robbing contracts. We can't be doing this, that, or the other thing. We can't be doing these things. Sammy was killing people and then taking over their companies or going into a particular business where is that... Drywall.
It was a company that operated and sold and did drywall, okay? Now, they would do their business, they would comply with the bids, and they would grease the right skids to keep things moving along. But then, Sammy, you're an administrator. You're not supposed to have a crew. You're not supposed to have being in business where you can compete with the men and take business away from them.
It's a no-brainer then. Because you're the guy who's assigning the jobs. So you're going to assign all the jobs to yourself. Okay? And this is what he was doing. And John was at wit's end. And he was looking for a little guidance from Frankie, someone he knew for many, many years and trusted. Like, how do I react to this guy? I'm going to pull his card.
I'm going to pull him in and address him on this. But Frankie, what's the right approach? And it wasn't just one visit. It wasn't just one wiretap. It was two different separate occasions. There were two different dates, two different wiretaps where he's talking to Frankie. And then there's a third one, which Sammy doesn't talk about, where John is addressing Sammy, okay?
And he's telling Sammy basically, okay, this is at the end of all of this. He comes to terms with it, not in that wiretap, not in any of those wiretaps. Frankie goes and gets Sammy, brings him to the chief late at night, and my father reads him the riot act. And he basically tells him, enough now, enough. We've got men coming in complaining about you.
You've got skippers coming in, so on and so forth, complaining about you. You want to be a captain? I'll reduce you back to a captain. You want to be a soldier? I'll reduce you back to a soldier. No, no. Okay, then enough now. Back off. You can't be doing these things. And that was it. There was an understanding.
