I get you and thats my point too, but what about guys like Pierce, Pranno, Gianola, Louie Fratto or DeRose? These guys gave info regarding the whole organization, induction ceremonies and all types of illegal activities, while still doing their own stuff. In fact, Pierce gave info on the Outfit's most lucrative ops around the South Side which were mostly controlled by him, and later all of those same ops were closed down by the feds.
