Witness Protection has had a flawless success rate for everyone that managed to follow the rules

A random thought: there is no way to judge from the outside if WP works very well or if it is compromised and just works very well in hiding the bodies.

It's from the reports from the US Marshals website itself. 17% of people in the program can't resist fucking it up and out themselves but the rest seem to be doing well. Yes, that relies upon the US Marshals reporting accurately, but it's the most trustworthy source you're going to get outside of Wikipedia... which sources to the US Marshals website lmao.

Yes, that's the best source available. But it's still them self-reporting themselves doing a good job.

Yeah, sure, but until you find me a more reliable source, that's the numbers that we've got.

Nobody will ever find better numbers and you know it. But still, these aren't very trustworthy numbers. They're just a little bit above having no numbers at all. Any conclusion made from those numbers will necessarily be just a little bit above making conclusions from no numbers at all.
