A little bit of both I think, I reckon he killed more than the 19 people he admitted to, and the 5 years was light for that, but the Feds made the deal to get the Underboss of the Gambinos to flip, he kind of had them over a barrel.
Then he goes and starts the whole ecstasy ring and gets his entire family involved, wife, son, daughter, even after saying Gotti was an idiot for having Jr. Gotti made in the Gambino family.
Guess it's hard for a gangster to leave the life totally. What impresses me most about Sammy though is that he's still alive, although gangsters in this day and age just don't seem to be the same as they used to. It all went downhill when Jr. Gotti was de facto boss when his old man was in jail.
On a side note Jr. apparently 'retired' from the mafia, we'll have to wait and see how long that lasts.
