0:05.0	This is another little story that I have researched on my own. I'm not interviewing anybody.
0:11.0	I just find it, I like to find out kind of the story behind the story.
0:15.0	Sometimes we all know about John Gotti had Paul Castellano killed and Sammy the Bull helped and it's been told many times.
