He knows stuff but he twists everything around because he hates Difronzo and other wiseguys but even if he was an associate he never was more than knowing Mike Magnaficci and a few others. the murders and things he talks about like he knows, he was never high enough to know about them, not like Difornzo would be like Joe i killed this guy back when and he claims to have insiders in the mob,nobody in chicago is giving him constant info thats actually that connected cause their not gonna want there stories posted online, his father was a treasurer in the union and thats why he knew some outfit members and associates
