John Gotti was a dumb criminal. He was the boss of the New York Gambino Family Mafia. The reason he was dumb was that he called attention to himself and became a public celebrity. The reason he was dumb is because his mega-maniacal ego that needed to be seen and "admired(?)” What I call the John Gotti Rule is that if you are a criminal just lay low, do not call attention to yourself, do not become a celebrity. Do not become a blatant target to law enforcement.
Gotti was convicted of murder, racketeering, tax evasion, and extortion, plus some others. He went into prison in 1992, died in prison in 2002. Good riddance.
I think the same can be said of the most famous Mafia psychopath of all, Al Capone. Prison. Death (syphilis brain damage caused heart attack). Good riddance.
So what? Well, another dumb criminal is Donald J Trump. Another mega-maniacal ego in desperate need to be seen and admired/worshipped. He has lived a life as a business fraud, a tax evader, a rapist, a money launderer, a deadbeat, a scofflaw. So what does he do? He becomes a celebrity. As long as he is just a TV showboat, who cares? But then he ran for and became president. Dumb.
So, his business crimes have gotten him fined nearly half a billion dollars - three sets of financial books - overvalued books for better bank loans, undervalued books for lower taxes, real books (I guess) of his actual business. Crimes.
His rape cost him $83 million (not the rape, but the defamation of E Jean Carroll the rape victim - ("sexual assault" victim - rape victim). His financial fraud is costing him $460million.
If you do the crimes - shut the fuck up and stay out of the news, nitwit, and especially don't run for president of the United States of America.
Just dumb. Thinks he "can do whatever the hell he wants" (dumb quote of a dumb person).
He can’t. Prison please.
