Summary

John Gotti is the most talked about person in the history of the American Mafia. His longtime friend Angelo "Quack Quack" Ruggiero is discussed but there are very few videos that delve into the complicated life of the Gambino mobster. Today we look into Angie's life, correct some myths about him and uncover what got John Gotti's best friend shelved from the Mob.
