Nobody said the Detroit mob is "non-existent." However, it has neither the size, scope, or activity that some believe it still does. At least there's not much evidence of it. And the various excuses for this don't really hold up. Whatever is left of the mob there, and there's conflicting opinions on that even among OC experts, doesn't go much beyond gambling.

Also, you saying Tony Palazolla is boss conflicts with other rumors that Jackie Giacalone has taken over from Jack Tocco.
