Nobody wrote it for me. No ghostwriter. Had written the book myself. I had a lawyer friend of mine who did the editing and typing for me. I don't know how to type. I did everything by longhand. I gave him all the pads, and he typed and edited it for me, and I wrote the book by myself. That was a start. Sold those rights to create the Gotti movie.
which I made some money on that, and used those monies and invested and moved it along the right way. Helped out on some projects. I'm doing several projects of my own right now, but I got myself right. But to watch the government sit there and take a position, and you see what I'm going through. You went to banks, had them throw me out, had my wife ostracized from lending institutions.
Nobody would give me a loan. Even after the hard money guys, they were calling the subpoena on the hard money guys. They started subpoenaing all my banks, all the lending institutions. So everybody threw us out. We were homeless. Basically, we had no banks to go to. The agent, special agent on my case would follow my wife into the supermarket and tell her, tell your husband to flip.
Because if he doesn't flip, what's going to happen is your kids are going to be homeless. And she would tell them, you know, fuck off and whatever have you, and that would be that, okay? But this is the tactic they employed against me.
Subpoenaed my sister, subpoenaed my brother, subpoenaed all my witnesses, harassed them, sent a rat with a wire on to my mother who's lying in a hospital bed after brain surgery, wired up on my mother to try to get incriminating information against me. Wow. This is the tactic that they employed.
And then, you know, you can space it all out and for us to sit here and walk it through process by process, date by date, would be, you won't make it home tonight for dinner. I can promise you you won't, but I can tell you this much. That was the beginning where I told you, which culminated in the end, the fifth trial, which the result was the same, okay, on that trial.
But to watch what these guys did along that way, They played very fair, the first trial. Held me without bail. Held me in 10th South, the terrorist unit that was built for Ramzi Youssef and Sheikh Khalid, the guy who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. It was built for them, only six cells in 10th South. That's where they housed me for that first trial.
Then when the judge got the opportunity to see the evidence and see all the particulars, we won her over. She released me on bail. She then released me on bail. And then she began to turn on the government and she started seeing the case for the reality of what it was. And we started winning motions, tapes, wiretaps that they didn't want in, that they made of me in prison and legal visits.
They violated out my rights and wiretapped my legal visits. These recordings were now all coming into play. All this stuff is now being allowed in. And I knew after that they would never be able to beat me again because these tapes exonerated me.
They made them, spent millions to make them, and then yet went to suppress them by changing the indictment, dropping the indictment, superseding it and indicting me two years earlier so not to use tapes that they made in 2004. This is the tactic they employed against me.
Any real legitimate guy would have been amused by that. Oh, God.
I haven't seen John Ailey since 1991. I haven't seen that guy since 1991. I haven't seen him, okay? He professed to be my right-hand man. I don't want to tell you the reality of who he is and what he is. I don't want to do that because he lost a daughter recently. And to me, I know even he, I knew his wife. I knew his wife's got to be someplace mourning right now. I know she has to be.
I know that. She was a pretty good person. And I know even he has to be mourning someplace right now. So I'm not going to tell you the reality. Maybe at some other point, maybe at some other date. But to me to sit here now, one thing I will never do I never kick somebody when they're hurting. I won't do that. I won't do that. I saw what happened to my mother.
I saw what happened to my father when they lost Frankie Boy, my brother. I saw. And I know they have to be feeling the same way. So I will not kick them. I won't do that. I will never kick her. I won't kick him. I won't address it. And I won't elaborate. I won't go any further on that.
But, you know, just now, to get off that subject onto a different subject, again, the tactic employed by the United States government and the things they've done to me, okay? Look, I'm bitter. I hate them. I don't hate any of the cooperatives that went against me. I don't hate any of them. I won. I won. They got a look in the mirror. They know what they did, and it was a futile attempt.
You hate them? You hate the U.S. government? I'm going to get there. It was a futile attempt on their part. I won. I'm home. Christmas. I'll be home tomorrow putting up my tree with my wife, okay? I'll be home, okay? They got to look in the mirror and know what they did. I survived them. I'm not mad at them. I'm mad at the United States government.
for the absolution and the deals that they've made with these lowlifes, knowing exactly what they were, exactly what they were gonna do, they knew it.
They knew the ramifications of their actions, what were gonna happen, and still brought these people against me, freed these individuals to go on and commit a whole host of more crimes thereafter, and the whole time doing what they did to my family, tormenting my mother, tormenting my wife, my siblings, subpoenaing my best friends, economically destroyed me, destroyed me completely and totally.
They had the balls, the balls, because of a meeting that we had had with the United States government in 2005, a 40-minute meeting. They knew the tact I employed there. They knew exactly. I want to ask you a question. You interviewed Gravano, right? Okay. When you interviewed Gravano, did Gravano tell you how he became a rat? No. Well, one thing I know he definitely didn't tell you.
He didn't say that when he decided to become a rat. That next day, he met with John Gotti. He met with Frank Licazio and some other powerful figures in organized crime. And he told them that, look, guys, I'm going to go in tomorrow and do a proffer. And I want to become a government cooperator. Wish me luck.
