I guess my issue with your theory is that if you can figure this out and present the evidence, surely Joey Merlino or George Borgesi would have your evidence but times ten about Lance. And let's not pretend Georgie Borgesi wouldn't put a bullet in the head of his best friend if he had the faintest inclination they were a snitch. So either they are morons (a possibility) or Mike Lance has been able to show to them there's "no there there."
