I won't get roped into the argument too much but chins strongest years were when he was acting sick and he had the support of all his capos and the commission. understand that others stand up to their charges but it's also about beating the government and keeping the families together. Personally I think he saw the writing on the wall and was at the point that he was ready to do whatever it took to trick the govt - he wasn't a young boss at that point and everyone was getting pinched
