Inaccuracy in these productions is common. I've watched the American Heroes Channel production about Bugsy Siegal and it still touts Virginia Hill as Flamingo and that Siegel was the originator of the Flamingo Hotel.
Those inaccuracies serve the urban legends which may be an attraction for some viewers.
I wonder if Wiseguy would have lasted had Ken Wahl not been injured.
Yes, this series is pretty dreadful. The "re-enactments" are so amateurish that they're laughable. And, as you point out, full of errors. The Trafficante segment was the pits.
watched the trafiicante one and that was just horrible, and they use the same actors over and over again, terrible but the crazy thing is someone bought this to put it on tv and made money off of this BS
There's one other thing about this series. In the one about Massino, they stated that a capo spied a couple of FBI agents surveilling him, went after them, and murdered one agent and wounded another. That sounds preposterous. If it happened, the series did not comment on what happened to the capo. Has anyone heard of this?,
