Some of you need to remove your heads from the sand. The MAFIA has had rats forever, all the way back to Charlie Lucky Luciano who was a rat himself when informed to the NYPD on his adversaries, set them up with his own drugs and had them arrested/eliminated from competing against him. If the history wasn't littered with rats, then all the "hits" carried out to "prevent" talking wouldn't have been needed. The difference between now and then? Then the mafia had the balls and guys to whack potential rats before they had a chance. Today, they have a bunch of suburban computer game playing wannabes who couldn't or wouldn't pull the trigger. So the Rats get to the finish line which is the police and get to tell their stories. End of story.
