Mob rat turns life around to give up 39 bad guys

The New York Post reports:

A triple-murder suspect-turned-mob informant whose colorful stories led to the arrest of 39 underworld operators was sentenced to time served Friday — and he was even heralded by the judge for his bravery.

Thomas McLaughlin, 46, was 15 when he taken under the wing of a “bad” relative and nurtured to join the Colombo crime family, according to defense lawyer Stuart Grossman.

After getting pinched for drug trafficking and firearms possession, he went to jail for 16 years without cooperating, earning the trust of his criminal colleagues.
