The Genovese family has a total of 7 made members that have turned government witness in its history, one of them was Joe Valachi. This is interesting. It's not likely for an informant to be killed today but then again there isn't much of a sample size to go with regarding the Genovese family.

"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
