Sammy Gravano was identified in olden days as Sammy the Bull. Sammy the rat. Sammy the confirmed pig. And these had been his nicer kindly pre-prison references.
When Gigante, Gambino, Genovese and Gotti roamed New York Metropolis’s earth, Sammy Gravano had just a little behavior. Killing folks. He knocked off 19 that authorities know of.
Within the ’90s, I reported Lynda Milito telling me he killed her husband Louie. Unmentioned was that, in flip, this Louie had beforehand executed in Hoffa — however that’s one other complete story.
Information now’s that Sammy who ratted out John Gotti is about to get — together with Audrey Hepburn, Dr. Ruth, Taylor Swift, Queen Elizabeth and me — his personal documentary.

Tony Testa’s uncles, additionally notsuchgoodniks, had been tied to the Gambinos and properly knew Sammy.
In case you can imagine it, Tony’s relative Joey, now serving life in Terminal Island, California’s federal jail, is — regardless of his present housing association — linked with a brand new movie. Working title: “The Kennedys of Cosa Nostra.” A musical it’s not. It’s in regards to the notorious Testa brothers and con Joey was one of many mouths that opened.
Realtor Tony Testa: “I spoke to Uncle Joey about Sammy ‘The Bull’ Gravano. My uncle’s doing life — like 30 years — however hasn’t mentioned Phrase One. And received’t. Snitches like Sammy are gangsters up till they’re sentenced to twenty years. Then they don’t wish to be gangsters anymore. Actual gangsters do life.”
