Why would a poster give out sensitive info on an open internet forum? I seriously doubt those type of people are trusted by the higher ups. You may get some truths, but probably more half truths.
Ivy is right on the money. The info that almost always turns out to be correct is the one that comes from law enforcement sources.
That's always been my view. There are people who do know what's going on in the mob better than law enforcement - the mob itself. But how likely is it these people are posting away on an Internet forum?
And, how does being from an area automatically afford one special insight into things? As if you can somehow absorb info on the inner workings of the mob through your zip code.
Sure, some local guys can hear things here and there. They may see this or that mob guy from time to time. But this kind of thing isn't typically going to tell them for certain who's running things or give them the kind of info people claim it does. And, with the wealth of info available today, somebody on the other side of the planet can know just about as much as the local guy.
