I guess my issue with your theory is that if you can figure this out and present the evidence, surely Joey Merlino or George Borgesi would have your evidence but times ten about Lance. And let's not pretend Georgie Borgesi wouldn't put a bullet in the head of his best friend if he had the faintest inclination they were a snitch. So either they are morons (a possibility) or Mike Lance has been able to show to them there's "no there there."
What "evidence" could he possibly show them to disprove it, I would think its more of a matter of hes theyre friend and been around forever and they dont want to believe it........
not to mention hes probably involved in murders and theyre theory is "if hes a rat" we would be in Jail for life but thats not neccesarily true with secret undercover informants......
Carmine Lombardozzi, Greg Scarpa,all the top guys we dont know about who were informing against John Gotti and the later administrations,the "Top echelon member of the Chicago Outift" who as of 2009 had been informing for over 25 years etc etc and besides any of that I dont think anyone is going to refer to the philly guys as geniuses....
