Gents, a few questions came to mind when I was watching Joe Postone talking about having to "watch over his shoulder." I personally believe he doesn't have to, could you imagine that headline? And the federal crackdown. Do you all think it is the thought of the danger, more so than the actual possibility of retaliation?

So my question is: How at risk is a wise guys life? I'd imagine a made guy is a little safer than an associate because it's still front page news when a wise guy is clipped, and they have to go through the commission, unlike an associate. But say someone fucks something up, steps on someone's toes etc... What's the chance of them actually getting whacked? Or would they just say, hey you're done with life get the hell outta here, and shelve them?

Thoughts?
