You bring up a valid point Lilo and I'm sure there are many mob guys who don't care if guys got locked up, as long as they're free. Like I've said many times, it's greed and selfishness that has been the root of the problem. But judging by what we've heard from these recorded conversations, the guys at the top seem to recognize this problem and especially the guys that have truly done hard time. Guys like Skinny Teddy Persico, Matthew Madonna, Sonny Franzese, all guys in powerful positions and all guys who most likely would not think twice about assassinating an informant if they knew their location. Didn't Franzese put out a hit on his own son? I don't think there's any limits for guys like that. These men may be a dying breed, but they're out there and they appear to be revered by their young followers.

I also have to echo what pizzaboy said. The government would NEVER disclose information about some murdered informant they were protecting.
