Yes he does. Because Gotti has fallen into the category of members like Luciano and Capone where you have the man himself and the legend he left behind.
One myth is that Gotti's high profile led to his downfall, it didn't. Wiretaps did. Compare him to the other bosses from that era such as Amuso/Casso who received far less media coverage, the outcome was the same. And it's not like Gotti called a press conference.
One thing that goes unappreciated is just how politically savvy he was in that world. His exchange with Joe N Gallo on how he could legally remove him from consigliere exemplifies that. I never had much of an interest in Gotti, still don't. But Michael has shared with me some of his thoughts on Gotti's Machiavellianism and it's interesting. It's not for me to go into, he and BHPM will explore these stories in the episodes that will come. But it should lead to some interesting discussions here.

I asked the guy on one of his vids if he was a member of Blackhand. He told me he was not, but said he "knows the guys there and has high respect for them".
I thought when he was talking about being on the phone with the top researchers in the world in his Commission video he was talking about the guys on here.
