They even make up stiff that is just completely unnecessary needlessly misleading. It is true that Tark's "agent" was murdered and found in a trunk. It is also known that he was stealing from the mob. On the show, he's found in the trunk with Buss's business card tucked in his collar. That never happened. Why make that up?

Because it's a TV show that is designed to entertain. Which, by the way, it is doing a pretty good job of.
