Arguably the most famous mafioso ever, John Gotti captured the American public’s imagination in the ’80s and '90s. While previous mob bosses had shunned the spotlight-- or at least attempted to-- Gotti seemed to revel in it.

On this episode, we delve into the life of John Gotti to rate just how much of an asshole the Dapper Don was.
