John Gotti, the notorious "Teflon Don," reigned supreme in New York's underworld as the flamboyant kingpin of the Gambino crime family. With his flamboyant suits, charismatic demeanor, and uncanny ability to evade conviction, Gotti became a legend. He orchestrated high-profile heists, extortion rackets, and murder plots, amassing both wealth and infamy. Despite multiple indictments, Gotti's Teflon exterior seemed impenetrable until his downfall in the early 1990s, when his own underboss, Salvatore Gravano, turned state's evidence, leading to Gotti's life sentence in prison.
