All of this a rat is a rat talk is nonsense. I beg to argue that organized crime can't even exist without some level of cooperation with law enforcement. In many cases, it's actually the name of the game if you want to stay on top or in business. All criminal organizations and gangs do it, if they have any sort of power or make any sort of profits.
I disagree with that. The only level of cooperation they had over with LE was always bribes. That was the mafia or any other groups strength. It has historically been small timers who pass along info to get out of crime. It is constantly changing in the direction of more and more rats in the mafia, that is true. Historically the Mafia's strength came from guys not talking, and taking taking punishment if the time came.
