Level 2 · 9 mo agoGambino preached being a lion and a fox, but the family ended up with a chicken salesman and a peacock. Machiavelli saw that coming.

Level 8 · 9 mo agoI disagree that Castellano standing tall made him more intimidating tho. I’m 5’7 and I don’t see how being vertical makes a dude superior or a better boss. I can do anything a tall guy can do

Level 6 · 8 mo agoWowza! Gambino teaching Machiavelli is wild. The lion and fox philosophy is straight out of a political theory lecture. Really fascinating stuff! 🦁🦊
