Magnafichi is not an informant. He's just trying to make money and hustling like anyone else. You yourself say he was shelved years ago, so WTF would he have to inform about now? You are contradicting yourself in your hate of all things Fosco. Just like ElmwoodParker.


Fosco was Willie's driver for much of his later years. He wouldn't choose a "goof" as his driver. Fosco certainly embellishes and makes connections when there are none, but Willie certainly shared info with him and again, his connections to the Outfit are clear, while yours are not.

Fosco hates the Outfit and does everything he can to run these guys' names through the mud. Sure he goes about it in an ass-backwards way, but he still goes about it. If you weren't such a fanboy of Willie and these other gangsters, you might commend him for his balls and what he's doing.
