Donny Brasco was not a Rat. He was an agent doing his job. Also the contract was indeed bullshit and as to wanting him dead, maybe just in thought by some but, to actualy do it or attempt to would be total suicide on their part. No Boss would have authorized that.
Well put. The other undercover in that operation (the guy who they made a goofball of in Florida in the movie, which is total bullshit), lives under his own name and actually went on to become a Town Marshall or something to that effect. He stayed in law enforcement after testifying under his own name. Pistone milks that 500k rumor for everything it's worth, with those stupid fucking sunglasses. If they ever hit a Fed it would make the Commission Trial look like a jaywalking ticket. Believe that.
