Who knows if he would have enough to flip with. Ivy said he doesn't think he was made. I have no idea. He definitely seems like kind of a clod. Obviously they wouldn't have involved him in anything since he threatened to flip, but he does seem to have been pretty heavy prior to the debacle that caused him to flip in the first place.
Apparently Marcello ordered Rainone to kill his boss, the Jeep, back in the day. He went to kill the Jeep and saw to guys, Fratto and Messino, waiting to kill him instead!

That is when he flipped.
Then they blew up his mom's porch and he decided to keep his mouth shut.
Good article on the whole thing here.

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing.
