I stopped reading after this:
"Let's take the business of drug dealing for example, where due to your research you find the vast majority of people are caught via compelled police informants."
If that's true, why are drugs still a problem when we've had the War on Drugs for decades?
As to the "fact" that secrets cannot be kept, especially in a large group, Edward Snowden proved this to be false.

You seem to be reading his claim thusly: "The vast majority of drug dealers get caught; this happens because they were fingered by informants". This certainly does not seem plausible. I took that sentence differently: "When we look at the subset of drug dealers who got caught, we can see that most of them were arrested after being identified by informants."
