I think we can agree to disagree on this issue. I do see some validity to what you say, but court history, and prior criminal cases bare out what I say. So I think you're argument may be more with how the prosecutors and feds are perceiving their application of the Rico laws, as opposed to us having a pissing contest here on the forum.

As I stated earlier, time will tell if he's on the "up and up" as they say, or if he's a rat. But without solid proof, I think its unfair to label anyone, mob guy or not, an informant just because he HASN'T been pinched.

There have been enough high-caliber mob rats who turned on their friends. Time will tell if he's another.
