Gotti then led the Gambino family and became one of the most infamous mob bosses. According to FBI, he went to trial on three separate occasions and somehow continuously evaded conviction, which is how he ultimately coined the nickname "Teflon Don." However, he was finally convicted for several things, including the orchestrated murder of Castellano in 1992.
Gotti was sentenced to life in prison, and he died there in 2002 from head and neck cancer.
Although most "mob news" died down after 9/11, it came back last year in March 2019, when yet another Gambino boss, Frank Cali, was murdered in Staten Island. Apparently, it was the first mob boss killing since the infamous murder of Castellano. According to The Cut, the suspected murderer had no Mafia ties, but the case remains unsolved.
