Frankie Jr. Saved himself by promoting himself through the media in my honest opinion. If he would have gone into hiding like Nick did, more than likely I do believe he would have been whacked. The mob really couldn't do anything to him considering everyone would trace it back to them since he was being so vocal about not hiding from them. The guys he fucked over are all dead anyway so its not like anyone is coming after him anymore to be honest with you. He simply is shelved for life and will never ever be allowed back at the Old Neighborhood Italian American Club on the South Side or anywhere around there. He has even admitted that its not a good idea he goes there ever again. Every friend he ever had from that crew was lost when he became an informant. Even the people from the neighborhood shun that son of a bitch.
