The Peacock with a Pistol.
The “Teflon Don” strutted through New York like he owned it — and for a while, he damn near did. Sharp suits, smoother talk, and a glare that could freeze a room. Gotti turned mafia into mainstream, mixing old-school code with media swagger.
He was loyal to his crew, brutal to his enemies, and obsessed with appearances — which is where it all came apart. The flash caught up. The silence cracked. And the courtroom finally stuck.
Verdict: Not SphstRDnck. Had the grit, but lost the humility. Power became vanity — and the people paid the price.
