Before he got the author to buy into his story, Sheeran tried to get a book deal based on his story that Nixon had Hoffa killed: http://gangsterreport.com/killing-jimmy-hoffa/

Also, his claim as to where Hoffa was killed has been investigated and refuted: http://gangsterreport.com/sheeran-zerill...o-licatas-home/

As for the Gallo hit, after all of the problems that Gallo caused over the years, do you really think that an insult directed at Bufalino, the Boss of Northeast PA, caused him to finally get hit? That makes no sense, Bufalino was a power but I doubt that he had the clout to finally get Gallo hit, basically on the spot, because of an insult. I also think that Capeci has backed off of his support of Sheeran's story on the Gallo hit.

He obviously had some axes to grind in the book and wanted to get one last shot in against people like Tony Pro, who he really did not like. He even said that he was getting ready to hit Tony Pro, a Genovese capo, before the Hoffa hit was ordered, which would have been an immediate death sentence for him and maybe even Bufalino. He also clearly thought that Bufalino was God, which is a little much, as the man was powerful but not on the level of a Genovose boss or a Chicago boss. From what I remember he did admit that the final say so for the hit came after the Genovese and Chicago made some type of deal as to the Teamsters leadership.

Make of it what you will, but good for the author for getting people in Hollywood to think that the story will make a good film, after all that is what matters, right?
