Mobsters follow "need to know" with wives.

That is a fairy tale. Carmella Soprano knew Tony was in the mob and
wasn't really managing a garbage truck business. She gladly took the
stolen fur coats.

Uh oh. You've shaken my faith in the movies.
I'll have to adjust.

In the real world Victoria Gotti was also willingly receiving stolen
goods so she was part of a continuing criminal enterprise. I am not
sure why we let these wives off the hook so easily. When they
assassinated Clyde, they shot Bonnie too.

The wives lawyers will claim spousal abuse. Then they take the 5th
and cop to NOTHING.
I thought Bonnie was a gun-toting participant.
Uh oh. That was a movie.
Anyway, they might get testimony from Madoff's accountant. They
charged him with a bunch of criminal counts and he's out on $2.5
million bail I think. They're probably working him over good and he's
singing like a canary.
That might nail her.
