John Gotti Jr

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 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.

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.
