Because Michael never actually turned State's evidence. Michael's deal with Norton was unofficial and completely under the table. Michael agreed to tip off Norton to the escape plan, allowing Norton to take down either Brad or Trevor, and fake Michael's death. Michael Townley is officially dead, but Brad was buried in his place.

In turn, Norton agreed to give Michael and his family an alias, making them the DeSantas, and allowed Michael to access his $50 million in savings to sustain themselves. Michael just has to pay Norton somewhere between $10k and $99k every month to keep his cover.

So, Michael isn't in witness protection because the government (outside of Norton) doesn't know Michael is actually alive. The deal was never to turn over Lester and any survivors. The deal was to quietly get out and completely start over.

Can you come over for a play date?

Can you come over for a play date?

Hey, you might not remember me but we used to play a lot of minecraft together! Remember? I had the authentic world war 2 german officer skin and you used to roleplay as a prisoner in my camp? It was so fun tossing food on the ground watching you beg as your hunger bar ticked you down to one health. I'll never forget the time you tried to escape and the other officers and I put you in that chamber. We had so much fun together, anyways with the anniversary of world war 2 coming up I thought it'd be fun to give it one more go around. Hit me up!
