    The interesting thing about all this is that the Mafia existed way before the FBI and was extremely active all through Hoover’s time in charge and yet he spent years denying it even existed and only really went after them as a result of Appalachin meeting and Valachi talking allowing Bobby Kennedy to pressure him into action. All very odd.

But when the person comes from a corporation or a government position they are called whistleblowers. No matter what your social position in life is, telling law enforcement about a serious crime is a good thing. The double standards in America give me headaches.
