I think the fbi told flemmi to stay away from mancchico because he was on to flemmi being a informant but then again there's a picture of them eating together in 94ish. I think there's no concrete proof that him or the st laurent were informants. And flemmi was telling on both of them anyway
Thanks for your reply Pmac2 according to the book Hitman on p.370-371 by Howie Carr Martorano thought that St. Laurent was an informant. Also the Rhode island mobster tried to shake down someone who was part of Martorano's gambling network as he states that "we're getting a lot of help out in Vegas from this guy Joe Schneider—we called him Joe Schnitz. He was handling the “service” for us—he’d get us the lines before they came out in the papers, and make sure there were no surprises in the handicapping. He was valuable. So these wiseguys out in Vegas threatened him and his family, said if he doesn’t come up with 300 grand they're going to kill his family. It’s two hoods from Vegas and this guy from Providence, the Saint they call him. Anthony St. Laurent, another rat for the FBI as we later find out. Anyway, Richie Shea calls me up and tells me Joe Schnitz is being shaken down, and can we do anything? I asked Richie, is he with us? And Richie says, yeah, so I told him [ll handle this. I called up Stevie and said, talk to Sonny Mercurio—he was our liaison to the Mafia. I told Stevie, you tell Sonny to tell the Saint to leave Joe Schnitz alone, he’s with me. Tell the Saint if anything happens to Joe Schnitz or his family, the same thing will happen to him or whoever did it.'
