Your beyond reach, have a good night.



Scarpa was cooperating first, in 1962 according to his files, and was suspected by Columbo members and associates of being a rat in 1973, according to his sons book.


Valachi was cooperating before Scarpa to the FBN. The FBN and the FBI were fighting for control of Valachi when he killed the wrong man. Jack Ruby was even an "Informant" to the FBN but he gave little info and misinformation, he has a light file to his name. The FBN had made members giving information to them before the FBI got involved.




How much did Ruby really have to give? Not much I think, if anything at all.
