Lewis Kasman, who served as the chief of staff for the Gambino crime family, has opened up about his years alongside infamous Mafia boss John Gotti. Kasman, now 68, reveals in a Fox Nation documentary how he managed millions of dollars for the family, sometimes storing up to $10 million in a toy chest in his Woodbury home.
Life Inside the Gambino Family
Kasman describes his role as a trusted confidant to Gotti, often referred to as “Gotti’s adopted son” by the media. He was part of Gotti’s inner circle during the height of the Mafia boss’s reign in the late 1980s and early ’90s. Kasman reflects on his past admiration for Gotti’s power and influence, acknowledging the moral compromises he made during those years.
Despite his close relationship with Gotti, Kasman’s life took a turn when he became a confidential informant for the FBI, recording conversations with mobsters, including a controversial tape of Gotti’s wife. This act led to a falling out with the Gotti family, who have since labeled him a traitor.
Reflections and Regrets
Kasman served time in federal prison for lying to a grand jury and later for fraud and money laundering. Now residing in Florida, he leads a quieter life, expressing no desire to return to his past but admitting he misses Gotti himself. The documentary “Gotti’s Guy” provides a deeper look into Kasman’s experiences and the complex world of organized crime.
