I warn you if decide to go down this rabbit hole it will make you crazy.

The web is so intertwined that I can't do it justice in a post, but setting aside Johnny Gosch and the employees at the Rag that were convicted of acts with a minor...

I wanted to post this about the worst enemy to Iowa State ever. . Read this paragraph from a subpoena:

The following month the committee questioned Jimmy Hoffa in Washington about Fratto. Hoffa admitted that he knew Fratto and that he had negotiated a few union contracts with him, but denied they were friends. The committee questioned Hoffa extensively about the Teamsters' efforts to move in on the Midwest Burlap Bag Co. of Des Moines to take members away from the Textile Workers Union. The committee had earlier accused Fratto of serving as an advisor to Marvin Pomerantz in the case.
