      Brilliant documentary; I remember those years very well! Greatest decade for US!However, everything, except Hoffa, was unheard by the general public in those days. The question is what happened to all that money once the cash flow to the mafia stopped. The in-flows to system continued, insurance companies flourished, but pensión funds, including Social Security (SS!), withered away and are now on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe the Cosa Nostra found a new niche in the system and is happily living in the corridors of power. Maybe a history of the background of the two principal characters of this documentary would provide some clues as to their origins, their alligeiance, and their loyalty lays. Maybe their last names give US a clue...

      I'm guessing: The FBI couldn't protect him as a witness because he wasn't a witness for the government.
      Seems Dorfman was in a Catch-22 of his own making and likely knew he'd be killed, which he may have felt would be better than prison or committing suicide.
