He's seems believable now, but in due time it seems the majority of rats become prolific bullshitters. A lot of it has to do with over exposure, they only have a certain number of stories to tell. When that info gets stale they start making stuff up. Sammy Gravano was in the life for a couple decades and he's already run out of interesting stuff to talk about, and just making up stuff people want to hear.
Alite is a prime example of this, over the years his story has become more and more fanciful. A few months ago on YouTube he was talking about his time on the lam and he rattled off around 25-30 countries all over the World he supposedly hid out in. He claims he hid out in an army base in Colombia or Venezuela. My favorite one though is his claim he hid out in West Africa and lived in the compound of some Muslim emirs compound his four wives and dozens of kids.
He probably thought that up after watching a documentary on Bin Laden.
