That's an oxymoron, being a C.I. or selling out your partners confidence to avoid jail time IS getting caught, just not doing time. Look at Carlo Gambino, Joe Profaci, the epitome of success in organised crime, what do they have in common, never got caught.



Gambino and Profaci were successful, but today with so many infomants and so much focus on the mafia it would be much tougher, maybe impossible. I think the most successful ones are the ones who stay away from the Mafia, or any group that is a target. These smaller gang busts are shown to be hauling in big money, and individual drug dealers make a ton of money. I am talking people in college or dealing to college students or at clubs. They make a lot of many, never get known by the FBI or Organized Crime Task Forces, and can fade away when they want.
