some informers still have to hide though like scars, massimo vitale etc
its the guys like cicale who dont need to hide because they are low level
i dont think they will go looking for rats but if they knew where they are then maybe esp the big time guys i know there was guys on the way to kill sammy gravano before he got arrested fat sal and that kid nwho used to be sammy who took over his shy when sammy flipped
Hitting Massino would be absoluute suicide. They've known where Al D'Arco lives in Florida for years, and he put away Amuso and Casso. He's even had a few guys visit him down there who don't hold a grudge because he did nothing to hurt them.
As far as Huck looking for Sammy, that was almost twenty years ago. And last I heard, Sammy's still breathing and Huck's parole officer hasn't been born yet. Besides, had they succeeded, the damage would have made the Gotti trial look like a DUI.
Times change. Hitting a rat after the fact doesn't help anyone, anyway. And the Feds would look at it like it was one of their own because their security was breached. The smarter Bosses (and the big three each have one) realize this.
