This is really a strange story.
Was Sharpton a drug liaison for The Genovese Familly, got caught in a sting, and turned informant, or was as he says, just a concerned citizen who decided to help the FBI in the fight against the cocain trade.
One thing is for sure. The Mob knows the truth, and they now know that Sharpton was a informant. If a regular citizen with no ties to the Mob helps the FBI in case as a witness, then the Mob will generally leave them alone. But, if the informant was first working with the Mob, and was "flipped" per say, then he is, in their eyes, a Rat. We know what the Mob does to Rats.
The Genovese Familly is still alive and well. They don't forget.
