Chris Kasparoza John Gotti’s children John Jr. and Angel Gotti engaged in a smear campaign against the owner of this website, myself, Chris Kasparoza. The above video, published on March 12, 2024, documents and debunks several lies told against me by Angel Gotti in December 2023 with the assistance of her cohort Angela Ranxxxx-Slaxxx (last name withheld) who, backing up Angel Gotti, also spread lies trying to damage and discredit me.
I bought the web domain JohnGotti.com in October 2024, when to my shock, the opportunity arose to purchase it.
This website went live on March 12, 2025.
I worked with John Gotti Jr. between 2015-February 2022, on, amongst other things, investigative journalism projects. During that I time I built two investigative journalism websites, including JohnAliteFacts.com, that defended him, Angel Gotti, their family, and John Gotti Sr.’s memory not just from the vicious lies, but the dangerous conspiracies of their enemies. Including not just murderous FBI informants, but rogue active and retired FBI Agents.
Due to the work I was doing, at great risk and cost to myself, that defended John Gotti Jr. and his family from vicious lies and dangerous conspiracies, mob rat John Alite — a demented murderer, and a diabolical, pathological liar — spread lies about me in the media. He tried to frame me for crimes to discredit me. He attempted to have me baseball batted. He and his cohorts even made threats against my family.
But, in the end, it turned out that not everything John Alite said was a lie. The following quote in his 2015 book with George Anastasia, Gotti’s Rules, rings very true:
“With Junior, it was always about money,” Alite said. “Friendship didn’t matter. You could have been his friend for a dozen years and he’d still rip you off. He didn’t care. That’s just the way he was.”
John Gotti Jr. and his sister Angel Gotti don’t want me to be believed when I speak about why I stopped working with him.
The above video was produced in the aftermath of Angel Gotti (and her brother John) having an attorney, Joseph D’Agostino, send me a Cease-and-Desist email on March 1, 2024. Saying that if I did not agree to their demands, and retract, remove, and apologize for the defamatory lies I told about Angel Gotti, I would be sued for defamation.
When the truth is that Angel Gotti and her brother spread defamatory lies about myself, not the other way around. In October 2023, they even had their close friend and attorney, Elio Forcina, lie about me on her show concerning work I did with John. Even though Forcina, previously, also gave me legal counsel and acted as my attorney.
John Jr. and Angel Gotti’s attorney Gerard Marrone — who shares office space with Forcina — conspired with John Jr. and his right-hand man Steve Dobies to deceive, and essentially rob me, on John Jr.’s behalf after I stopped working with him. Even though prior to that, Marrone also acted as my attorney.
Beyond that– Angel Gotti, who long chastised John Alite for threatening my family, turned around and also threatened my family. She employed some of the same defamatory tactics against me that John Alite used against her brother and her family.
In September 2023, after I requested that a defamatory lie her friend Angela Ranxxxx-Slaxxx told about me during her show be corrected, not only did they decline to correct it. Angel Gotti falsely accused me of a crime (which she believed I committed) and implicitly threatened to leak information about it if I did not “Back off of” her and Angela. When, essentially, all I was doing was trying to clear my name from their defamatory lies against me.
Then: on May 24, 2024, I received an email from John Gotti Jr. in which he said he was suing me. Yet in this email — which looked like it could have been written by John Alite himself — John Gotti Jr., who claims to be the most stand-up guy in the world, made a series of verifiably false, defamatory accusations against me. He even lied in it that I was paid for work I was not, and said that his business and tax records backed it up.
On May 29, 2024, I responded by sending a letter to his business partner, saying that John appeared to be “in a diminished state” due to Joey Merlino, the accused boss of the Philadelphia mob, calling John “a rat” on the April 25, 2024 episode of his podcast, The Skinny with Joey Merlino and Lil Snuff. A clip from which is below.
It should be noted that on that podcast, where he disparaged Gotti Jr., Merlino praised John Gotti Sr.
Following it, on John Gotti Jr.’s behalf, Elio Forcina spread blatant, verifiable falsehoods on Angel Gotti’s show seeking to damage and discredit Merlino.
More information about John Gotti Jr., Angel Gotti, and their cohorts spreading lies about me, trying to discredit and damage me, after I spent years going above and beyond in defending John Jr. and Angel Gotti, their family, and their father, John Gotti Sr.’s memory, will be posted on this website in the future at the following link:

The following is an excerpt from a government transcript of a recorded conversation between John Gotti Jr. and Steve Dobies in the prison visiting room at FCI Ray Brook on July 11, 2003. During the conversation, Gotti Jr. told Dobies:
“They’re gonna do their best to poison the public against me and I gotta to do my best to show what they really did here. I gotta show that they lied, they cheated, they stole, more importantly, we sue. We sue. Pure and simple… We gave our word to my father we would not sue. My father said rats sue. Well then, I guess I’m a rat.”
In John Gotti Jr.’s 2015 book, Shadow of My Father, he said that his father, John Gotti Sr., told him:
“Rats and liars are cocksuckers.”
