Frank Cullotta once called himself a rat...Then after seeing 600,000 suckers buying Franzese's baloney, changed his tune and all of a sudden he wasn't a rat anymore, he was a cooperating witness, only testifying in crimes he was involved in etc...

Correct!..... and as the old saying goes, and I'll finish it for you, "There's a sucker born every minute, and two to take him!" Lol
Who cares what Rats to refer to themselves as. Culotta, Franzese, Gravano, Jr Gotti are all rats. Nitpicking is just confirmation bias on your part. Gravano did the most damage. Cullota didn't do hardly any. Franzese is next to doing any and Jr Gotti did nothing in anyone being convicted. Doesn't mean they all weren't rats. You guys are being overzealous and kind of losing the whole point of the matter.
NO bias. We just call it as it is! Scarpa, Gravano, D'Arco, Casso, etc., all these guys are in another league. Franzese never had to go that deep and continually testify before he was cut loose from the feds. He made a good deal for himself. Thank God for that he didn't testify more! But he still hurt guys. And he's still a ranked rat in the scheme of things. He turned early. Years before most other guys did. So the feds creamed their pants to get a big name guy to become a rat. It was a major black eye to Cosa Nostra. Today, he would be under tighter provisions.
And THATS a fact that CANNOT be disputed!
