Mob informants claim that talking to crime reporters automatically makes you a rat. Is Sonny Franzese considered a rat? He sat down with crime reporters for interviews and helped them write a book on the mafia.
While I don’t consider him a rat for this, it would technically violate the alleged “rule” that certain ex-mobsters talk about, making him one under that definition.
I think these informants invent fake rules just to fit their own narrative.
An excerpt from a March 4, 2006 sworn statement shows former Lucchese Underboss Anthony Casso confessing to participating in the murder of Eddie Lino in Brooklyn's Gravesend section while stating that Detectives Eppolito and Caracappa are falsely accused of the crime.
Staten Island Advance article, written by journalist Nicholas Pileggi and published on September 13, 1981, asserts that federal efforts against organized crime are failing because restrictive post Watergate regulations and budget cuts have left authorities unable to effectively track a new generation of mobsters who have infiltrated hundreds of legitimate businesses.

Interesting. So Ralph Lento is allegedly feeding rumors to mob informants for them to broadcast on social media?
