And the Cane controversy begins
A few days ago I wrote my opinions on the new CBS series "Cane," which is sort of a new Sopranos-themed series with a powerful Cuban-American family running a sugar empire in Florida. I also told you that it appeared to me that the series was loosely based upon the powerful Fanjul Family billion dollar empire.
The Palm Beach Post seems to think so as well, and the Fanjuls are pissed. Read the story here.
