"However, a birdie tells me
Vargas has turned states evidence against Joe.
This should not be a surprise."
That does not "surprise" me at all. This is exactly what I have been saying all along -- the smaller fish (guppies) "turn states evidence" on those above them (the "keepers").
Now, if what your "birdie" told you turns out to be true then that "birdie" should be considering a different nest for himself as it may now be time for Monterosso to "turn states evidence". Perhaps that would be considered to "putting salt on that 'birdies' tail"?
As I posted earlier, anyone/EVERYONE found to be guilty of transgressions -- Monterosso, Offices and Directors (past and present), employees and any other individuals (perhaps Taboada???) -- should have their feet held to the fire and should have to pay the piper, in both the civil and criminal venues.
