Massino is my worst rat. Boss for 20 years, I'm sure he had people put to death for ALLEGED informing and then rats himself. Even becomes a jailhouse snitch regarding VB. At least VB took it like a man and much younger.

Chiodo probably was guy with best reason.


Leonetti was a remorseless stone killer who was riding high and loving it. He later baled out on his uncle and blamed Scarfo for Leonetti's own behavior. He was a heartless punk, plain and simple. Chiodo? I agree. He seemed loyal and was mislabeled a rat by those two maniacs. They shot him 12 times, then later shot his sister, killed his uncle. WTF did you want the guy to do? He had nowhere to go, and nothing to lose at that point.
