Nobody gives a sh*t about rats anymore. The whole concept of Honor and Omerta,and putting the Family above all else is dead and buried. Maybe when Gambino was alive it would be risky for a guy to rat,but not anymore. The whole mentality has changed. You've got all the mopes and cugines moving up in the ranks and it's all about money and flash. Even the Chin and Massino took deals.
Half of the modern "Men of Respect" think that Omerta is a pasta dish. Rat'em out, get a deal, do time served, and write a book. Christ,Sammy Bull ratted out the supposed"last real gangster",and in between book signings and Diane Sawyer interviews,he basically waved his di*k in Gotti's face. Yea.I know they were GOING to kill him,but gee,somehow they didn't. Then he gets popped and is sitting in a cell for the next 15 years. He makes fools out of both "The Last Godfather" and the Government,but will probably die from choking on a steak when he gets out.
