just to get off topic. for a great while there has been rumors that Watts was paid FB Ipaid informant... when Gotti juniror ratted him out,,,it proves the point that he was one,,, he took the plea,,, and took a chance of him seeing the streets,,,
A one-time top lieutenant for John Gotti lived a dangerous double life as mob mole for the FBI, the Daily News has learned.
Joseph Watts served as an informer for about 13 months until early last year, sources said.
Watts, 55, had hoped to avoid jail time with his balancing act, but ultimately he and his FBI handlers became disenchanted with the arrangement.
The deal collapsed and Watts is serving six years in prison after pleading guilty to disposing of the body of a Gambino mobster. He is also awaiting trial for a Gotti-ordered murder in 1987 and could be sentenced to 25 years to life if convicted.
