I know in the old days when the mafia was at its peak in terms of power, witnesses were easier to reach. I'm curious though if anyone here knows of the mafia getting to a witness or informant in more recent times? When watching documentories, informants often have their voices disguised and we only see their silhouette, but is that really necessary. For example yesterday I was watching a documentory about the Lucheses and Vic and Gas. Al D'Arco was on there and all we could see was his silhouette and his voice was computerised. Do you think there is really a legitimate threat that he would be tracked down by a Luchese soldier and whacked?

I do however remember reading something about the Gambino's going after Sammy the bull but Sammy was rearrested and the Gambino guys were caught before they could get the job done.

Thank you all for your time.
