the (false) rumor that Ade was blowing Tony before the accident? Did Ade tell her handler about the rumor off-screen or have they tapped one (or more) of the guys' phones?

Feds
2The feds probably have all kinds of informants on the streets. This rumour spread out really fast, so all the lowlifes heard it immediately. The feds spend a lot of money on these RICO-cases, so they probably buy info from low-level hoods. This is just my take on this, I'm not a mob-expert or anything...

Phone taps
5Probably from phone taps. You saw all the people talking on the phone. It wouldnt be too hard to tap someone like Rosalie Aprile's phone, or any of the other gossiping idiots.

Raymond Curto is a rat
8and if everyone else in the NJ crew heard it, Curto must have too. There is the link from the boys to the Feds. Also, anything involving Tony S probably gets out on the street quick and the Feds probably have more informants on the street that aren't shown in the show.
