Exactly.

He was basically still a kid and wasn't around long enough to know very much. It's not like he could have given any direct testimony about the Colombo administration. So he was never really put to the test. If he knew something about, say, Allie Boy, and the Feds said "you talk, and you walk," and he took the lifetime bid anyway, then you could mention him in the same breath as some of the others mentioned here. But there's really no way of knowing.

Now, he may have stood up anyway. I'm just pointing out that he really didn't have much to trade for his freedom.
