i'm not sure if he gave them any outdated info or not, but the world of OC is changing, and it wouldn't surprise me that if in the future, certain guys might be given the ok to spill the beans on guys that have passed in an attempt to save themselves or others. that scenario is a bit more extreme, but even the genovese(as well as others) have been advised in certain cases to plead out, rather than having them risk much longer sentences at trial. the point is, even that would have been unheard of a few decades ago. it seems like the most successful organizations, whether criminal or not, always change with the times.
