Years ago, I wrote a book review about Triangle Exit for Informer Magazine that the editor declined to publish. I was pretty harsh. Fino was a legit union guy who cooperated against the mob but I think he exaggerated his importance/ made up most of the CIA stuff, etc. For example, I think he claimed that perennial presidential candidate Lyndon Larouche was going to make him his vice presidential nominee (Larouche denied this). He claimed he broke up an arms deal involving an Al-Qaeda cell and was involved in a military coup in an African country. He says he always used codenames so you won't find his real name in any of the FBI/CIA documents. It was unintentionally funny in parts. For example, he said he learned his own father as an FBI informant after a random homeless man gave him stolen FBI documents.
You have to wade through the muck to find the kernels of good information.
