But it is still very big in legit business and those wiretaps in the game tax indictment showed extortion but you are right detroit cant be compared to new york but he does deserved credit.

jack being the boss kept it alive if tony z or the gicanclone brothers had been made boss the detroit mob would have died years ago gicanancole brothers were too flashy and tony z could not stay out of prison and was not the smarest guy.

He went broke after those rico trials in the 90s and after jerome the blade got whacked all income he had disappeared.
