The problem with that theory is that law enforcement in, say, New England or Philadelphia take the time to regularly bring cases against the LCN families there. And their bread and butter are basically the same things. It wouldn't even have to be the feds. For instance, the state police have been a big factor in going after the mob in New England in more recent years. Why don't we even see that in Detroit? If one looks at what cases there have been over the past decade, there's still some gambling going on. But that's about it. Of course, remaining members are going to have legitimate interests. But I don't see any reason to believe that the Detroit family is as large or as hierarchical as Scott makes them out to be.
