I just mentioned on another thread about the govt using informants. I know many of you guys are "fed-up" hearing about The Outfit, but it seems that as far back as the the 30's and 40's there was a lot of talk about informants in the FBI files. I'm talking about people in the upper echelon of The Outfit who were never exposed, not undercover agents.

Don't know much about other organizations, but apparently Chicago had a rather sizable pool of informants.

Would like to hear your thoughts.
