he may be a lot of things, but a rat he is not, guy did half his life in prison
None of the s philly neighborhood guys are rats that joey and his family grew up with, from the last philly trial to niccodemo, none have flipped, borgesi, staino, angelina, merlino, canalchio, cianglinis, ligambi, mazzone, dom grande, micali, massimino, and some of these guys got some serious time did it or are doing it and kept quiet and in this day and age is a big deal
His uncle was a rat.
A thing is get 15 years in prison when you're 36 and another when you have 53, Gotti was the Gambino boss and was beaten in prison. Joey risk from 20 years to life and I don't see him to spend the other half of his life in prison, especially if high security. Yogi Merlino is a special case, Scarfo with his violent behavior and paranoia forced many loyal soldiers to flip.
