Bad Alias:
I seriously doubt he would want his people in federal custody.

However this is one of the stories shortcomings.  It isn't well motivated.  Pedophiles know what they are and the risks that they run.  And brothels with children as the central focus would be extremely dangerous to operate.  And using one in this country would be begging to be made a puppet by the brothel operator.  Marcone could just as well dropped a hint to the FBI by some pawn and the thing would have been over quickly.

Marcone would know,  he knows everything about those he deals with, that is how he stays alive.

Yeah, the last thing Marcone would want is a judge or city official singing like a canary about him and his organization to the F.B.I to get a lighter sentence. 

morriswalters:
No one knows everything.  For instance does Marcone know that Helen Beckitt sold him out to Nicodemus?

@Bad Alias
If he didn't know about that pedos on his payroll that wouldn't have been a concern.

This. Plus, you don't stay at the top of a very Darwinian social structure by letting people start to think they can get away with breaking your rules.

I guess I need to work on my reading comprehension. He still would have to be very careful about snitching. He would probably be better off going to war with the international gang than getting caught snitching.
