Not to piss in the honeypot here, but is there any assurance this collective hasn't been co-opted in the last 25 years?
How could there possibly be assurance of that? People who get coerced and turned into being informants don't go around advertising it to everybody else.

Absolutely not, no assurance whatsoever.
