He pointed to a few dodgy young junkies at a table inside the door. All nursing a cup of tea for an hour or more until they spot some lad buckled walking past n rob his phone n wallet. Was surprised, but i reckon he had the story right.

Basically you're a member of an organised gang and you're history..Federal racketeering sentences in the US can run into hundreds of years..the defendant's only way of ever seeing daylight again is to turn turtle on their associates..it has worked to bring down many high profile criminals and organisations. The story of Tekashi6ix9ine is a good example of how RICO can be used to take down small fry in order to get to the big fry. The beauty of it al is there's no certainty at all that the sentence will actually be reduced for cooperating ( the presiding judge has the final say) but most "gangsters" shiit their Calvins at the prospect of 100+ years in the federal pen. Witness protection should only apply as long as the trial is in progress..after that leave them to sink,swim or show up in a laneway full of holes...no loss to society.
