Is Johnny Sack based on John Gotti?
Yes, you win…go collect your c-note. The character of John “Johnny Sack” Sacramoni has been widely compared to John Gotti. Especially since Johnny Sack tried, unsuccessfully, to kill his boss when he was serving under him and referred to the situation as being different from “Castellano”. Also it is shown that Johnny had a penchant for wearing Brioni suits, just like Gotti. John Sacramoni died of cancer in jail after a sentence that all but crippled his criminal career, again much like Gotti, both in federal prison hospitals in Springfield, Missouri.
