Marcone the Informant
Con:
So one of my favourite theories is the reason Marcone has no trouble from local law enforcement is because he's made a deal on a government level.
It's happened before with senior Mob bosses.
What Marcone offers however is much more valuable as an informant then just organised crime activity. Marcone can inform on The Unseelie Accords and other supernatural powers.
Thats invaluable information for the US Government or even other World Governments.
Not to mention it just makes Marcone more powerful which he's always trying to increase.
Discuss.

When did it happen?
That is to say - I think if we go back far enough with it happening, we should have seen SOME vague hint. I could buy we haven't heard if he flipped to informing around Changes or so, and totally buy it if he sent out feelers after Batlle Ground (I mean Harry spelled out that there'd be government agents watching the supernatural), but if he was there way back in Fool Moon? Nah.
Mira:
Yeah, there have been hints that Marcone had his fingers in the government. Sadly Chicago has been known for that in it's history. In The Godfather, it was also one of it's themes.

I think it's been hinted from the beginning possibly even Fool Moon.
Marcone got Murphy's report extremely easily even for corruption.
Snark Knight:
He might. But his influence through plain corruption is pretty vast.
That Goodman Grey story where Grey's secretary takes out a bunch of VIP's who'd been clients of the child brothel Marcone wanted an example made of ... something like a dozen of them were under Marcone's thumb, and he treats losing them as just a moderate inconvenience.
