The sender was in Las Vegas recently and bought this card from The Mob Museum. The Mob Museum, officially known as the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, is located in downtown Las Vegas. It open in 2012. It features artifacts, stories, and the history of organized crime in the United States, but also the actions and initiatives by law enforcement to prevent such crimes. 

The museum is found at the former Las Vegas Post Office and Courthouse, which was built in 1933. 

The quote on this card was from John Gotti. John Gotti (1940-2002) was the mafioso and boss of the Gambino crime family in New York City. After ordering the killing of Gambino boss Paul Catellano in 1985, he took over the family and led what was the United States' most powerful crime syndicate. He was known as The Teflon Don after three high profile trials in the 1980s resulted in acquittals. Later it was revealed that the trials had been tainted by jury tampering, juror misconduct, and witness intimidation. 

Gotti was finally brought down by one of his underbosses, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. He aided the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in convicting Gotti. Gravano turned on Gotti when he overheard Gotti make disparaging remarks about him on a wiretap. Gotti was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, illegal gambling, extortion, and loansharking. He received life in prison without parole and sent to Illinois to United States Penitentiary, Marion. He died at United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri of throat cancer. 

Gravano was sentenced to five years in prison, but had already served four. He spent a year in prison and then went into the United States Federal Witness Protection Program. However, he left after five months and moved to Arizona with his family. In 2000, Gravano, along with his ex-wife Debra, daughter Karen, and son Gerard, as well as 40 others, were arrested of federal and state drug charges. In 2002 Gravano was sentences in New York to 20 years in prison. A month later he was also sentenced in Arizona to 19 years in prison. Both sentences would run concurrently. He was also sentenced to lifetime supervised release and a $100 000 fine. He was released from prison in 2017. 

Today, at the age of 79, he has his own YouTube channel entitled, Salvatore Sammy the Bull Gravano and has almost 600 000 subscribers, with over 107 million views. He also has a podcast called Our Thing.
