| Normally there are no fake deaths and the such, the person has to actually testify in court against the people they are giving info on.
So basicly the bad guy knows they are not dead, but just can't find them.
States have witness protection, as does the Federal Program, the Federal Program provides normally better protection.
Now most witness protection people are not chior boys but also criminals, so they often have to also go to jail, they normally will serve time under a different name, and then get another name when they move into protection.
And no, there is normally no contact between people in the program. |
