Do you believe Sheeran??


and does it matter?

reply

I don’t think it matters, whether you believe him or not it still makes for a gripping story.

I've only read the book but I feel that his version of the Hoffa killing sounds very plausible
Jimmy was lured to a quiet place by his top guys and he was gotten rid of...they've been pulling that move since ancient Rome at least
There was a funeral shop 15 minutes away with a crematorium

I'm not all in on Sheeran's JFK and Cuba yarns...I'm pretty tired of conspiracy stories, big conspiracies have too many moving parts
The big problem with any conspiracy is that most people cannot shut up and carry on...Federal pressure, deathbed confessions, personal gain...some dumbass will blow a conspiracy wide open for sure

I tend to agree that the Hoffa murder is plausible.

It might not have been exactly like that, but it was definitely something close to that. Hoffa was on his way to a meeting with known gangsters whom he was becoming more and more nervous of. They were never proven to be anywhere near the house or restaurant. Some most likely it was someone who Hoffa trusted pulled the trigger, it a scene reminiscent of Goodfellas.

I don't believe him. On top of everything else, he's a habitual liar.
