What difference does it make if he's a nice guy? I've already said his doc is good and heard his book is even better.

'Leave him alone' what are you a 12 year old girl at school (You have the spelling for it) He's a grown man, I'm sure he doesn't give a fuck what someone from England thinks of him.


Come on man, It is obvious you go after Scott almost any chance you get, and others have noticed it.

He has some good sources on multiple families and is a great writer as well imo.

Leave him alone was phrased a little lame though lol

Have you read any of his books though? His Leonetti book was fantastic.


I admit I have made a few comments about Scott lol

It's not like I hate the guy lol like I said earlier I wish him well, if he can earn money out of it then fair play to him but I just think he stretches the truth, I mean that chart he did of Chicago had like 80 made guys didn't it? And he listed 55 made guys in Detroit, also said Detroit controlled some ridiculous percentage of the drug trade in the city, he must have been trolling. I just think he stretches the truth in the areas he has knowledge/sources, that nobody else covers, (ether through fanboyism or to get more attention)

It's not just me that thinks this, a lot on the other site and some good posters here that are too polite to put there thoughts public out of respect to his work with the book, confidential etc.

I do admit, I like some of his articles, knows a shit load about Detroit CN history. The latest philly ones I find hard to believe though, especially about Chickie as UB, the guys been out what, a few months? He's ancient, just done about 25 years and must have restrictions, if the feds get a sniff of him still being involved he better be careful, Philly are clearly already too top heavy, don't see them giving a big piece of the pie to an old timer, even if he is respected.

Not sure about Uncle Joe as Consig either, I mean it makes sense given his crdentials but he just beat that trial and probably wants to enjoy his money, I guess you never know with these guys though.

I haven't read his book Blackjack, not really a reader but I've heard it's really good.


Fair enough. But Scott does a great job on the smaller families that nobody else covers. If it wasn't for him a lot of times we would only be talking about the main five families.

I think he listed around 30 or 40 members from Detroit, and he didn't say they were all active either.

Keep in mind a hand full of made guys hit the big casino in the sky in the last few years as well. Including, Tocco himself...who I think is completely underrated when it comes to the best boss list.

To me, Detroit is one of the most interesting families. And it is incredible when you count how many members were related. They encouraged guys to marry sisters/daughters etc of other mob guys. Real old school stuff.
