James Cardinali was one one of the more fascinating peripheral characters in  the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club years of the John Gotti  story. Before boss, John Gotti was acting capo of the Bergin  Those days,  Paul (Big Paul) Castellano,   the boss of the Gambino crime family who  was derisively called the Pope behind his back, would proffer his regal wisdom in the form of gambling tips he'd bestow on underlings and worthy confidants, including John Gotti, then a Queens-based acting capo. Though he used their information in spectacular fashion, Gotti hated guys who gave him gambling tips --- or at least he seemed to when he referred to them as "(those) (f)ucking fuck bastards with their fucking tips."

To understand the nature of these expenses and the contexts in which they must be paid, it is necessary to research the dynamics that unfold in ports along international drug trafficking routes.
