The so-called “adopted son” of John Gotti, the late Gambino crime boss, is taking credit for the FBI raiding the Florida home of a former deputy sheriff on Monday.
Lewis Kasman, 59, told The Daily News that he prompted the raid by secretly recording the ex-deputy, Mark Dougan, for the FBI.
“I did it because it was the right thing to do,” Kasman said, claiming he feared Dougan was planning to harm the current sheriff and deputy sheriff of Palm Beach.
But Dougan said “Kasman doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
“He’s a fucking whack job,” Dougan told The Daily News. “I knew he was recording me. That was seven months ago. He kept setting his phone on the table with the microphone toward me. He’s a moron.”
Doug said the law enforcement was pursuing him because someone had hacked the personal information of sheriff’s officials and dumped it on a website that he previously owned.
