Fraud? In what way? How many people my age in this profession have sat with top-ranking LCN figures(current and former) in three diff cities and have been published within the genre regarding multiple crime families ? How many journalists under 40 have guest written Jerry Capeci's Gangland column? You can call me a lot of things, fraud is probably a stretch
Scott Burnstein
How many people under 40 actually are LCN journalists? Are there even a handful? Way to go, Scott.
Your disdain for the guy is ridiculous.
The guy has sat down with Leonetti and other mobsters. Spoken with Frankie the Bomb, Jackie the kid...and several Detroit mobsters...
He has accomplished a ton more than the mafia arm chair critics on this website that is for sure. His book on Leonetti is very good...and has tons of amazon reviews, and is still rated 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. It's like you are jealous he gets so much recognition so you try to shit on him any chance you get.

Why do you go out of your way to berate the guy constantly?
Why don't you simply ignore threads Scott Burnstein related? I mean it isn't like you accidentally came in here not knowing it was a SB thread...when the title is "scotts article" lol And just don't read any of his articles anymore since he is such a fraud? Makes no sense why you keep reading his material and replying in the threads
Of course, it's his job.
Jealous of a MOB journalist
fucking hell, what a ridiculous assumption. Jealousy is an awful trait to have.
I've stated this to you several times BlackJack, yet you never seem to listen, you always defend him and come back with 'He wrote a great book' I haven't read that book! But have heard from most people that's it's really good so good on him. But does that make him a credible source for the modern day mob? In my opinion no.
Some of his articles have good mob history, especially Detroit ones, but outside of Detroit I think he mainly speculates, as we all do.
I've said this numerous times, I really enjoyed the documentary he did, Detroit Confidential I think (Apart from the end where he said that Detroit were the most successful family lol)
