That's actually a pretty logical explanation about the lack of high profile cases in Detroit. It doesn't mean the Family is defunct and inactive. Like I said in another thread, the administration are all legit millionaires 5x over, it's possible they use that and they're money to corrupt the local LE. It's interesting because mike89 is exactly right, in the original trial for the D'Anna's for the beating, they were sentenced to three months, then some federal people saw that and probably thought "wait, wut?" and got involved.

I think personally, Jackie The Kid still has a loose grip on some aspects of the political scene in Detroit. But it's all a mystery until some real cases are brought about.
