There are all kinds of information. I do not mean to imply that Gambino was an informer in the Massino sense. What I mean is that if you are in any way an intelligence asset, which I suspect Carlo Gambino of being, it is very likely that at some point you become a brain trust for someone trying to get information from you.

An example is Osama Bin Laden. Was he an intelligence asset to the CIA? Yes. Could he have given over information? He had to have. An intelligence agency will not let any asset go to waste. You might have been recruited to help them move smack, guns, whatever. But at some point you will probably be milked for information. Might I be wrong. Of course.
