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.

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.
