“GOTTI CANARY TELLS OF MOB POWER PERKS.”

“GOTTI CANARY TELLS OF MOB POWER PERKS.” One of the themes (or obsessions or hobby horses) of this blog is that, as Nick has pointed out, I don’t like privilege. “GOTTI CANARY TELLS OF MOB POWER PERKS.” is a headline in a recent article in the New York Post, which I like to say is the newspaper of record in our house. The canary is a mob associate of John “Junior” Gotti. The canary testified that of the $50 million to $75 million he made for the Gambino family, he kept $10 million. But he elaborated on how he loved the perks that came with the position. “When I went to restaurants, I didn’t wait. When I went to shows, I got the best seats.” He got custom-made suits at stores. He didn’t have to wait in line at the bakery. “People looked at me differently and they knew I was somebody.”
