I'm so confused as to what you are trying to say.
If a mobster is feeding info to law enforcement, then he is working for law enforcement. Undercover.


This is the second thread in which Oak has completely disregarded a response to his bullshit, nonsensical, "most people in the mafia are rats" fantasy.

Just common sense questions, Oak.
1. If the majority of mobsters feed information to law enforcement, why do so many of them get long, harsh sentences despite their cooperation?
2. Furthering this, what is the point of a mobster risking his life and reputation to snitch on another mobster if he's not getting any sentence reduction?

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that most wiseguys today are, in fact, getting protection from the feds in exchange for their cooperation.
1. What is the point of the fight against organized crime if most people in La Cosa Nostra are snitches for the government and, therefore, protected by the government?
2. Why would the FBI keep such a large amount of mobsters on their payroll? It would get to a point where any information a prospective cooperator could provide to the government has already been provided to the government by the rest of their many, many cooperators.
3. It would also get to the point where snitches are snitching on other snitches, therefore defeating the purpose of the snitching.
4. Why does the Mafia still exist if most of them are snitching on each other? You made the argument previously that the Mafia got POWERFUL because of this cooperation. Which leaves two more burning questions:
a) If Mafia snitching only serves to make the Mafia more powerful, why the hell does the FBI facilitate it?
b) How, exactly, does a mobster snitching on another mobster make the Mafia, as a whole, more powerful?


Oak, if you can give a proper response to each of these questions, people on the forum will be more inclined to take your theory seriously. Because, and you know this already, it's a very, very far-fetched theory.
