wasn't joe massino "the last don" when he flipped? or the lucchese acting bosses - defede and al d'arco, or ralph natale. I supposed the latter 3 do not really count but joe massino was a murdering defacto boss and he received a reduction in his sentence from a possible death sentence to imprisonment. quite a good deal if you ask me for who this guy as and the amount of murders under his fat belt.. the fbi would of loved scarfo and gotti to have flipped. these are the biggest heavyweights and for them to flip would have shown the public a huge accomplishment and help dismantle the fundamentals of the mob when guys like these flip. I understand your point however but i disagree
Ideally I think the FBI want to take the boss down first. They've been lucky with that through the years when guys like Casso, Gravano, Leonetti and so on (all underbosses) helped them do that. I understand what you say though.
