Get the teflon slacker mug.Contrary to one poster's comment, Teflon Don (John Gotti) would not have been convicted without the testimony of Sammy "the Bull" Gravino who flipped once he was arrested and agreed to testify against his "partner" in exchange for a lighter sentence. The big difference between Sammy and John is the fact that John did not ask for or receive a shorter sentence for ratting. Before you think otherwise, do some legitimate research. The History channel site or Biography website are two credible places to begin. I hate that this site will not allow me to contest an entry simply because "it's too popular" - that was the exact reason I was given when I tried to correct or comment on that particular post. That tanks the credibility of this site immensely in my opinion.
The term "Teflon Don" refers to a former Don of the mafia named John Gotti. John Gotti ran a major crime organization for years before he was sentenced to prison because all his previous charges fell off him like food from a Teflon coated pan. Had his partner, Sammy "The Bull" Gravino not ratted him out in exchange for a lighter sentence, Teflon Don might have lived the rest of his life as a free man.
