There is a whole section of articles written about mob guys providing info to the feds called The Rat Trap. You can find it at www.onewal.com, Tom Hunt's American Mafia site. Two or three were bosses and like one poster said it isn't a black and white issue. Just like families are not black and white as a chart would make it out to be. No two situations are the same....kicking up a certain percentage is not set in stone, there's not a family that's easiest to get made into, there's not an average yearly income for soldiers etc etc. People act like they know everything about the Mafia based off one informant or indictment when it's an ever changing situation.

When Costello got out of jail he told the press all he wanted to do was go on a vacation to Hot Springs and then they could do whatever they wanted to with him.
