I find the stories interesting. Blown all out of proportion obviously. His fiction books are awful. Like painful to read. And his stories and claims are pretty ridiculous. But he is a relative of one of the Tocco branches. And he probably did know a lot of the people we know as Detroit mobsters. And he was probably on the fringe doing small stuff. But his claims are ridiculous. Fits very much with the stereotype of a middle class kid who has relatives who were in the mob and loved to drop names and act tough and ended up dealing drugs and some robbery and collecting. But, I'm always good for exaggerated Detroit mob stories.
