John Gotti Jr. spoke to CBS’ 60 Minutes show about his old life as first son of the Gambino family boss, and then becoming the boss himself. Here he reveals he spent his whole life scared about getting whacked.
I don’t really like seeing gangsters and former criminals reveling in their previous lives. But it happens an increasing amount these days, as these former bad men realize they can make more money selling their stories.
Which is exactly what John Gotti Jr. is now doing, having been informed he will not be pursued any longer for past crimes he’s alleged to have been involved with.
So instead, he’s telling his life story in as many ways as he can, including a movie, an autobiography, and a television documentary.
Is that right? Probably not, but there’s nothing to stop him doing it. And there will, unfortunately, be enough people interested to make it all worthwhile, and very financially beneficial, to Gotti.
