Wikipedia Page That May Only Interest Me #2


While trekking out to Howard Beach yesterday in Brooklyn, it came up in conversation that former mob boss John Gotti lived out there. Naturally, I looked up his Wikipedia page, and i might only be interesting to me.

John Gotti, commonly known by the media as "The Dapper Don" and "The Teflon Don" after the murder of his former boss Paul Castellano, was the boss of the well known Gambino crime family, one of the Five Families in New York City. He became widely known for his outspoken personality and flamboyant style that eventually caused his downfall. In 1992, Gotti was convicted of racketeering, 13 murders, obstruction of justice, hijacking, conspiracy to commit murder, illegal gambling, extortion, tax evasion, loansharking and other crimes and was sentenced to life in prison where he died 10 years later.
