Today's Blind Items - Watch Your Back

Back in the day, right before their reality show hit the airwaves and they became famous overnight, they weren't as careful with their business as they should have been. They didn't know the general public would be asking so many questions about finances and how could they afford this and that with what appeared to be no income. It was fine when they were quiet mobster types, but now they were on television every week. They finally got their act together around the third season in. They all had stories and stuck to the same script. The problem is, one of the guys, who we will call D was trying to take over a lot of contracts run by someone we will call E.

Now, D was much younger than E and much more brash and took everything he learned about E and spread it to the media through a bunch of leaks and also made sure higher level mob guys also learned about it. D got so into it that he didn't even care that he was hurting his own family. D was tired of scrambling and shuffling paper and money to make it look he was rich. He actually wanted to be rich and if a family member or two had to be thrown under the bus, so be it.

D got his wish. He landed all E's contracts plus some new ones as a thank you from the people who passed them out. This worked great for D for several years. Now though? E has aligned himself with some very powerful people and is telling them all kinds of secrets about D and how D has been lying about how much he is earning. The people who awarded the contracts are just discovering this. Meanwhile, D has no idea E has been undercutting D and D has been trash talking E. The clock is ticking though on the future of D. I am not talking about his future on the show which will probably never end. I am talking about his future. His breathing future. He committed some really serious misdeeds and the people in charge aren't happy. Will his "fame" save him or will they use him as an example.
