I've seen this guy on television a bunch of times and I'm left confused. Did he rat, because they never say that he did. It's only said that he took a plea deal and became a born again Christian. Did he do his time and walk away from the life? Is that what makes him unique? If he didn't rat, why doesn't he get along with his father anymore? They never say how he made his bones. Did he kill anyone, or was he inducted because of his father's status? I was reading that his brother was a rat. But he wasn't bringing in the money Michael was, he was a junkie that saved his own neck by ratting on the father.
