We covered the five families, you know, we covered the Trapacontes, we covered so much of the mafia, covered the history, covered the five crime families, covered the Florida section, covered the um outfit out of Chicago with Al Capone.
So we covered the Mafia extensively, and we're gonna go ahead and put a nice little bow on all of it by giving you guys this museum right here, the mob museum here in Las Vegas.
So if you guys are in Vegas or ever visit Vegas, you guys should absolutely come here, man.

So definitely, you know, if you're in Vegas, man, I highly suggest you come over here.
Um but yeah, we're gonna go ahead take you guys through.
It takes about two hours or so to go through this um tour, I think when we did it last time.

Of course, of course.
Of course, that was only room.
Okay, of course, which of we're not gonna do that, that's weird.

Oh, thanks.
Okay.
All right, so you need to go through?
We have to start from the top.
Yeah, it starts from the third floor and then you work your way down, guys.
Yeah.
There we go.
So and you can see here, right?
You got uh all the all the stuff here.
Um but yeah, basically you start on the third floor, guys, then they're gonna work your way down, and they take you throughout the mob history.
So um so yeah, and I'll be reading out some of the stuff to you guys as well.
So I do like museums, especially if it's stuff that I'm interested in.
So we're gonna start this way this way.
Okay, guys.
So the birth of the mob, right?
The story of the mob in America begins in the 19th century in the poverty-ridden ethnic neighborhoods of big cities.
First came the Irish, then the Chinese and the Italians, then them boys from eastern Europe.
Fleeing famine, political and religious persecution.
They cross oceans in search of a better life.
Okay, so let's go uh into it, guys.
So you can see here.
This is the coolest thing ever.
This is cool to you?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Here you'll see that Mary is actually 6'5.
Yeah.
Yeah, wait until you guys are out.
Don't worry, don't worry.
Not six three.
So you guys can see here, immigrants forced into crowded uh slums, worse jobs, right?
So many immigrants are forced to live in rickety tenement housing with as many as 12 adults sleeping in a room 13 feet across, rats infested the buildings and diseases such as uh cholora and tuberculosis, which TB oh colour, okay.
What is cholera?
It's like it's a disease collar.
But like what does it do to you?
Like what does it Google it real fast?
Okay.
The jobs they were they could get offered low pay and often dangerous conditions, and you guys know, obviously, when you these people came to the United States in the early 1900s in New York City was like crowded and shitty and everything else like that.
And then um, so it goes, how did it come to this?
And then you can actually see stay here, Bills.
Look at this shit.
See when you have the lineups?
Alright, hold on.
So I I don't know, but this is where if I was to take a mugshot, this is what I would be.
Because that's six six, right there.
Well, if you come a little bit to the back, you'll see like six five.
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Let me.
Yeah, she's short.
You like six five.
No, six three, I got sneakers on, man.
Bro, the regular ass running shoes.
Man.
Does Bill's got a mic?
No, Bill's not got a mic.
They can hear you?
Okay.
Okay.
Um, so obviously that's like when they do the lineup, which uh, you know, back in the day, right?
They would go ahead and just like well, they still kind of do this now, but not as much.
They do it more with and I can tell you guys this from experience.
Whenever we have a lineup, we just take pictures of people, six people that look apart.
It's called a six-pack, and you put them through.
But now they this was back in the day.
They all got the zoopsuit on.
Yeah, the zoo suits.
How did you land in the criminal justice system?
You're about to step into a police lineup, a victim or informant will have a chance to finger you what choices landed you here.
So, this is back in the day, man, how they used to do it.
Um they would uh bring them in.
Obviously, you can't see the people, right?
You come back here.
We can go ahead and show them.
Like, you just stand here, and and you already know that they're yeah, yeah.
Yeah, you can't.
You just stand here.
Yeah, and that you they can see you, but you can't see them for obvious reasons.
That is so crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
Alright, that's fine.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Um, right, and then some pictures here.
There's a little like mean streets fostered criminal underworld.
And then as it goes here, despite the the hardships they faced, most immigrants did not return to their homelands.
They worked hard and eventually improved their lot.
You hear that FBAs?
You cry babies?
But beneath the surface of ethnic communities, the criminal underworld thrive.
Teenagers formed gangs to commit petty crimes that protect themselves from having small time hoods, graduated to working for the mob.
And this is kind of how they got around this guys.
When you came in as immigrants, they stuck together.
The Italians stuck together, the Irish stuck together, and everything else like that.
And this is kind of how the Italian mafia was formulated.
Same thing with the bloods, the crypts, etc.
A lot of these gangs guys were created because of uh, you know, being uh discriminated against in the United States, so they kind of formed alliances so they could protect each other.
All crammed together in the city.
And then corruption, right?
So it goes here, the mob gained a foothold in America's cities at a time when police departments were still in their infancy.
Officers received little training and low pay.
They often took bribes to cast a blind eye at the mob activity.
Some politicians also enrich themselves by doing favors for crime bosses.
And this is important to note, guys, because obviously when you're not getting paid shit and you're poor, right?
You're gonna be way more susceptible to corruption.
This is actually a big reason if you guys want to get into the FBI, you want to work in a law force agency, even local police departments nowadays do this, they do pretty stringent credit checks, and the reason why is because they don't want you to be as susceptible to corruption and bribery, which happens a lot with um, you know, when you're underpaid.
Well, if you watch our stream one of the Chicago Mafia and um what's the name of that boss?
Aka Pony.
He bought he bought um all the majors in well, the mayor in in Chicago at that time.
Yeah, he was paying them off for the colour.
Here we can watch this right here, this little thing right here.
It's about to start again.
It's gonna start again?
In nine seconds.
It's nine seconds.
Okay, and what I'll do is I'll actually put the mic.
Let's put the mic close so they can hear it.
Oh, Angie's gonna stay.
Okay, you're gonna stay there so they can hear it?
Okay.
That works, thanks, Angie.
It's a three-minute video.
You guys, so we're taking you through the tour.
Taking you through the tour.
See if you can zoom in a little bit.
Yeah so they can see.
That's the most you can zoom in?
Yeah, I might go closer.
Go closer.
Coming to this country as an immigrant has never been easy.
Yeah.
So America is a land of opportunity, but also of competition and hard choices.
Huge waves of immigrants landed on our shores in the late 18th and early 1900s.
Most put their faith in the system in the police, the courts, their jobs.
Bit by bit, they worked their way out of the ghetto.
A few, however, thought they could choose a shortcut to the American dream.
In 1890, the New Orleans chief of police was ambushed.
No one ever proved who killed him.
but people were whispering the word mafia italian immigrants in the crescent city had to beware As anti-immigrant Lynch parties took the law into their own hands.
Some Italians did bring with them a secret criminal society, which went back generations in Sicily.
But not all organized crime was Italian.
New York had a long history of gang warfare.
There were Irish gangs, Jewish gangs all crammed together in the city's slums.
I was like, oh man, I see you coming.
They definitely were Jewish gangs.
Oh my gosh.
Let me know that.
Oh, my God.
This is a box of 20,000 quarts of whiskeys now being destroyed on record hour ever.
In 1920, the American government went to war with alcohol.
Most people just moved their drinking underground.
We're going to talk about prohibition a lot here.
In the mean streets of ghettos around the country, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.
Gangsters became bootleggers.
Nobody's became wise guys.
The bosses became rich and powerful, hobnobbing with society's upper crust.
The city most brazenly defiant of prohibition laws, Chicago, became known as the mob capital of the country.
America was one big speakeasy, and the underworld was supplying the booze.
Boom.
Alright, so I want to show them right here with the rackets.
This is important, so they can understand kind of had the mob how the mafia made money.
So, as you guys know, when we did our videos, right, we covered all the different crime families.
Each crime family had almost like their own specialties that they were good at.
But right, well, what's a racket, right?
Racket, insurance fraud, extortion, running unlicensed gambling parlors.
If your business is illegal, it's a racket.
The 19th century slang grew from the word for causing commotion making a racket.
And that's why they called Rico racketeering.
Where do you think that came from?
Boom.
From this.
And that was because Rico Act was created basically to go after the mob.
You can see all the different types of hours in the late 80s.
All different types of crime.
You got money, right?
Obviously, horse racing, dog racing, offshore banking, offshore accounts, etc.
Counterfeiting money, and securities, and you got betting and gambling.
That's huge what they do.
Matter of fact, the city of Las Vegas was built upon this.
Gambling.
Sex, right?
Strip clubs, pornography, child prostitution, etc.
Um, sports, obviously, we know that they're big in the sports betting, right?
Um fixing games, sparse betting.
Corruption, construction injustice, buying witnesses, buying elections.
This is an impressive uh yeah.
I mean, this is how John Gaudi got off was paying witnesses off.
Right?
And then you go, it's a garment industry, taxing all the industries.
Yeah, taxing all these legitimate industries, right?
And then you got the docks.
This was huge with the Jewish mafia, by the way, guys, was controlling the docks.
Okay.
This is how they got the uranium over to Israel, if you guys know what I'm saying.
It was controlling the docks.
And then food rackets, transport, right?
Um trucking depots, etc., controlling the UN.
So this is how they made money, guys.
Okay, so now we're into crime starting to get organized, right?
You go from like people being, you know, poor and kind of just making their way out through the um you know in the United States to now starts to get organized, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah, go ahead.
And then it goes here.
During the first two decades of the 20th century, the black hand menaced American communities with kidnappings, bombings, and murders.
Meanwhile, other organized crime groups emerged to make the money uh through robbery, counterfeiting loan sharking, gambling, and prostitution, the rough streets of America's cities, taught harsh lessons to the boys who would become the century's most notorious mobsters.
And then Luki Luciano, Mayor Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, them boys, Chiching, both of these two, and then Al Capone.
And then uh the mafia used to be called guys the black hand back in the day.
Um the black can or La Mano Nera, an Italian terrorized Italian immigrants and others, in dozens of American cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Black hand members, some of them associated with the mafia or Camora organized crime groups, slant letters to people demanding money or else harm would come uh to them or their families, and this is obviously like you know the beginnings of extortion.
And then blackhanders kidnapped children, bomb homes and committed murder.
Some residents locked their children inside and patrolled their streets with guns, bad publicity, arrests, and stiff prison terms decimated the black hand by the early 1920s as organized crime turned its attention to bootlegging because and we talked about that with the alcohol, and actually, guys, people don't talk about this enough.
Bootlegging and um the prohibition actually is what made the mafia extremely wealthy and rich.
If we were to actually like account for dollars today with inflation, they made billions upon billions of dollars because everyone wanted to drink and get lit, you know, despite the fact that we were outlawed alcohol.
Um there's just one chat, Uncle Luke, 1980s.
Yeah, what does he say?
Watch guns of New York when you guys get a chance, Myron Aline and Lil and G and five bucks.
Thank you, Uncle Luke.
I just read Oh, there's another one.
Oh, that's Rumble, yeah.
Yeah, by Punisher at 541.
He says, Myron, I have applied to this great school and I have been rejected twice.
I'm fucking angry.
I don't know what I'm going to do.
The school is the school is Academy of Finance VM.
Oh, he is trolling, yeah.
He's a he said it's our school.
Yeah, yeah, he's trolling, okay.
Thank you for the donation.
Yeah, we already know what he's saying.
So this is interesting because I remember last time this came through, I was really interested in this.
William Flynn's wiretap kit, wiretapping, the monitoring of telephone conversations by a third party first became a law enforcement tool in the 1890s.
So, guys, they started wiretapping in the 1890s.
This wiretapping kit was owned by William Flynn, who directed the U.S. Secret Service from 1912 to 1917.
So that's fucking crazy, man.
Phone numbers were two digits.
Yeah, probably tap number 30.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you can see here, my life in the U.S. Secret Service by YMJ Flynn for 25 years, chief manhunter for Uncle Sam begins in this issue.
Um and this is when they were wiretapping phones, 1890.
Isn't that fucking crazy?
Look, that's his wiretap kit right there.
That's crazy, bro.
The technology of the 1990s.
1890s.
1890s.
Yeah.
And just so you guys know, um, back right secret service, right?
What do they investigate?
They investigate counterfeit currency, obviously protection of the president, um, those are the main those, and then they do financial crimes as well.
You can see the archives in here.
Yeah.
This is really cool.
Yeah, some of the archives here.
So here, look, you connecting the dots here, right?
So you can look at like some of where the mafia was like, you know, big operating.
So you got Boston, Providence, Newark, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Youngstown, um, Detroit, Chicago, Buffalo, Scrap, and Dunder Mifflin, uh, Saratoga, Covington, Miami, Havana, right?
And we know that they opened up a casino in Havana uh prior to the whole Fidel Castro crap.
Um, Dallas, Hot Springs, St. Louis, St. Springfield, Pueblo, they were everywhere, bro.
The mafia was everywhere, man.
Except the north.
Again, the north all empty.
Yeah.
Well, at least early on, right?
Um, it was called organized crime for reason.
Individuals and gangs were connected in a highly structured criminal network or syndicate.
And then complex ties linked organizations nationwide.
So we can go this way.
Okay, Arizona Club.
Tough little town.
So now we're into the Arizona part of the museum.
And guys, don't forget, we're here in Nevada.
Nevada is the basically the West, man.
You know, right now, as we speak, it's 737 over here, but I know you guys over on the East Coast are probably 1037 over there.
So we are far out west right now, my friends.
So not surprised that we have this section of the museum as well that covers Arizona.
So we can show them some of the exhibits here.
The Shuckalak Dice game.
Chuckalak.
Chuckalog was a popular game of chains in the early 20th century.
This case from the 1930s or 40s is missing one dice.
Okay.
Oh, the type of booze.
It's that moonshine.
Yeah, this is this is uh moonshine.
Hi look, high stakes trade simulator.
This is one of the um things I guess.
A horse racing monitor generally paid out with cigars, cigarettes, and candy.
And then here.
Ooh, this.
Oh, I remember this from a this yeah, this is a real gun right here.
Looks Roxy Clippinger's Purse Revolver.
Roxy and Eddie Klimberger ran Roxy's a brothel located on Boulder Highway from 1945 to 1954.
The FBI rated Roxy's in 1954 after a 10-year investigation.
They ultimately send both clipping herself prison results in accusations of graft lobbed at Clark County Sheriff Glenn Jones.
Oh shit.
So that was her handgun that she kept.
Obviously, a gun though, bro.
Yeah, look how small that thing is.
That's obviously uh was a good thing.
And then here we go.
Helen still reports deaths of Kiel brothers.
So right here.
Law enforcement of prohibition.
It goes here.
Nevada enacted prohibition in 1918, more than a year before the 18th Amendment took effect, but Nevada support for prohibition dried up quickly.
Nevada lawmakers repealed the state prohibition law in 1923, leaving it to federal agents to enforce the Volstead Act for the next 10 years.
Many Las Vegas speakeasies were located on block 16 coupled with moonshiners operating in nearby Bootleg Canyon in Las Vegas.
Never ran dry.
Well, I believe that.
And then bootlegging.
Hey, you can show them all the old photos here from the Prohibition era.
*Mario plays*
What is this?
A wallet?
Uh this is early saloons in Las Vegas.
Saloons?
Well, that's why they drank books.
Yeah, like a bar, yeah.
I remember the good old saloon that read the redemption.
I read Dead Redemption.
Look at this.
So the 18th Amendment uh to the Constitution ratified January 1919, banned the manufacturing sale of alcohol.
Congress and passed the Volstead Act over President Wilson's veto to enforce the ban.
At the stroke of a pen, centuries old customs began became illegal, dividing Americans along ethic, uh regional and religious lines, thousands of brewers and bartenders became unemployed or destitute or criminals.
Which a lot of them became criminals.
And here we have some of the bootleggers.
Yeah, here are some bootleggers.
What are you want to read it?
No.
No?
Okay.
Like fresh with the reading.
Okay.
Tony Cornero, the w the West Coast top uh rum runner, smuggled Canadian wicks whiskey into California.
Oh, which by the way, this was huge, guys.
So during the prohibition era.
Smuggling booze into the United States was huge through Canada, because it was still legal there.
He parked his freighters three miles from Los Angeles and transferred the liquor to speedboats for delivery to the shore, easily evading the Coast Guard.
And then you got here, Sylvestro Silver Dollar Sam Carello, Johnny Tario, and then Arnold Rothstein.
Stop it.
Nickname, he was nicknamed The Brain, pioneered the smuggling of Scotch whiskey across the Atlantic, providing top shelf booze to New York elite.
He also imported heroin from Europe, making him America's first drug kingpin.
Rostine mentored next generation crime bosses such as Charles Lucky Luciano.
Merlansky.
In 1928, Ross Stein was shot to death in New York's Park Central Hotel.
His killer was never arrested.
There was probably like Indianapolis Justice.
Yep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then we got a actually go ahead and get this uh this meet on the Valentine's Day mask right there.
It was called the Noble Experiment.
But in fact, Prohibition was the business opportunity that changed organized crime in America forever.
So, let's go.
Gangs that in the past sold the people prostitution or gambling now had a new product and a much bigger market.
They built partnerships, networks, and defended their turf.
from new york to l.a bootleg wars turned streets into battlegrounds it's coming from there the city that most openly funded prohibition was chicago And the most powerful figure in its bootlegging trade was Johnny Torrio.
Torrio had arrived from Brooklyn a decade earlier, and it built up booming, gambling, and prostitution rackets.
When prohibition went into effect, Torrio immediately recognized the immense profits that bootlegging could bring.
He and his indispensable first lieutenant, a former bouncer named Al Capone, embarked on a campaign of uniting the gangs of Chicago and laying the foundation for an empire.
But first, they had to go through a powerful Irish gang on the north side, led by Dean O'Banion.
O'Banion and his North Siders had been hijacking Torrio's shipments at Bulls.
And in 1924, Torrio's hitman assassinated O'Bannion.
Two months later, O'Banion's lieutenant I mean Weiss and Bugs Moran caught up with Torrio.
Torrio survived a hit, but decided to retire and turn operations over to Capone.
Torrio gone.
Capone was free to unleash his ruthlessness In 1926 Capone's men murdered Heidi Weiss.
Bugs Moran was now in charge of the Northside Gang.
And the two gangs went after each other in a bloody war of attrition.
With bodies piling up in the streets.
Many believe Capone tried to end it once and for all.
It was February 14th, 1929.
Moran's men were made into a warehouse in Lincoln Park with a hijacked truckload of whiskey.
When they arrived, they were met by a group of men dressed as police officers.
Thinking they were about to be arrested.
Seven men did not protest.
Then two or three men in plain clothes locked in.
They pulled Tommy guns out from under their coats, pointed them at the men lined up against the brick wall.
this brick wall and open fire.
Isn't this too graphic for you two?
that's And actually, chat, the wall is right behind this thing.
we'll show it to you guys here in a second and this is the actual wall guys
I mean Yeah, they took a portion of it out.
Like they actually took the wall out of it right here.
That's all right.
Yeah, they took a portion of it out.
St. Valentine's Day Museum became so infamous around the country that even the warehouse where it happened became a tourist attraction.
It's crazy.
It's a crazy exhibit.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Here you go.
Yeah, and you guys could like look, like this is obviously, but this is where they took it out.
St. Valentine's Day Massacre was the event that first brought to the Midwest the use of ballistics to the scientific investigation of crime.
There he goes here, you got the little thing here.
This is the wall against which Bugs Moran men were shot on February 14th, 1929.
The infamous wall is from SMC Cartage, a facility used by Bugs Moran's gang in 1929.
In 1967, the building was torn down and the bricks were removed and numbered.
Purchased by George Petty and moved to his nightclub in Vancouver, uh BC.
The mob museum acquired the bricks from his family.
The buildings adjacent to went across the street from the original building.
Where lookouts were stationed remained as they were in 1929.
So these were the actual bricks, guys.
Crazy.
Crazy, right?
And you can see like the bullet holes in them too.
No one was ever tried or convicted for the seven murders that occurred.
Life was different in the twenties, bro.
Here you can see the bullets and stuff.
Yeah.
and the yeah look at the bullets I am.
Oh yeah, thank you.
And then this is like what a Tom this is what a Tommy gun looks like, just so the audience can kind of.
Yeah, we got you, chat.
We got you.
Um, yeah.
General John T. Thompson developed the Thompson submachine gun or Tommy gun in 1918.
It was intended for use in trench warfare during World War One.
Uh but the fighting ended before it could be deployed on the battlefield.
As a result, Tommy guns were marketed to civilians eventually finding their way into the hands of criminals.
Two model nineteen twenty-one Tommy guns were used in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
So this is what it is.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, one recall mine.
So the mob museum acquired the bricks from George Bailey's family.
And using the original numbering system, they constructed the wall that's a little bit more than a little bit.
Oh, look at this.
This is this is a photo of her creds.
Um Daisy Simpson, Lindy Hooch.
Oh, this is El Hunter C's.
Um, Daisy Simpson, one of the just the few women who served as prohibition agents worked undercover in San Francisco.
One of her bus results in the dumping of 8400 gallons of Napa Valley wine.
1925 she resigned after the government banned women from serving as field agents.
Based government.
Uh but yeah, look, this is actually pretty cool though.
Look, this is a picture of her creds, guys.
Look.
You can see here, uh, Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service.
So this was a part of the the IRS.
And then these are what credits look like.
So when I had my creds, this is what they look like to an ICB.
Um the mock shot?
No, no, no, it's like when you have your government ID.
Oh, okay.
When you identify yourself.
And then uh Eugene Jackson, what was he?
He was a prohibition agent as well.
He was killed by a bootlegger in 1932 in Chicago.
The agents in disguise, two of the most famous prohibition uh enforcement agents were Izzy Einstein and Moe Smith.
Yeah, I would imagine you gotta go undercover a lot for that.
So it wasn't Afghanistan that it was they had swinging of the bill.
The bullets and the bullets?
Their biopsies.
Oh wow.
Okay.
Cook County.
Look at that, man.
Multiple gunshot wounds of the chest, abdomen, and extremities with laceration of the liver, mesentery, small intestine, large interestine, both lungs, penetrating wounds with fracture.
One guy had 23.
Look at this 15, 23, 10 gunshot wounds, nine, eleven, fourteen.
They really put Reinhardt gone.
you can see the bullets and the in the body right there?
This is a 23.
Yeah, he got that.
Do you know they were going after Schwimmer?
23?
One of them boys.
Oh no, my energy.
Thank you.
the fed side back And then here, look, this is the path to repeal.
So Utah becomes a 36th states to ratify the 21st Amendment repealing prohibition.
And then you see March 22nd, then February 1933.
And then I guess.
Oh no, oh sorry, it goes from this to this.
They build partnerships.
Reveal the 18th Amendment.
Yeah.
So they could drink booze.
Yeah.
So look, you got Lebke, Luciano, Capone.
Amen.
And then you can see, like this is the feds, like they used to call them G men back in the day.
Yeah, G-Man.
This is a Capani revolver, look.
Oh, they can keep this in their suitsman.
Well, yeah, or I remember this gun.
Yeah, this is one of his uh revolvers, guys.
They found this, I think, in one of the raids.
Yeah, Kentucky legal.
Yeah, they said they seized it in a 2004 raid of a Kentucky illegal gambling gun.
Bro got six shots.
They found it.
We can go over here real quick.
See?
So I think we have to go this way.
Huh?
I think we have to go this way.
No, no, I know.
I'm just reading this for them.
So as you can see here, guys, right?
So now we're so obviously we covered the prohibition era, right?
Now the police, right?
The feds start coming back after them now, right?
Um and then how do you combat a threat?
And the federal agencies of local police face a steep learning curve battling organized crime required patience, long-term commitment, and new tools.
So this is where you can really start to see the evolution of federal law enforcement and law enforcement general going after organized crime.
Can we come this way, Bulls?
Um the 1920s seemed an era of slick gangsters, overwhelming corrupt or incompetent cops, and the tables were turning by the 1930s.
The wanting days of prohibition brought powerful professional and above all else, honest G men.
Right, that's funny, what they used to call them the G Men.
Government men.
So Ness, this was the first guy right here, Elliot Ness.
So in 1929, Ness put together an elite team of prohibition agents, later nicknamed to untouchables because they couldn't be bought off or bribed.
Their raids on Capone's bootlegging operations, often recorded by newspaper cameraman, then that said uh thoughtfully tipped off, further fueled their fame.
This is him right here.
You guys can see.
It has like a little flash thing.
And then you got Elmer Ray.
Federal agents pursued Al Capone for years, but it wasn't G Men who finally spared him, it was T snared him, it was T Men, which is the Treasury, yeah, it was IRS that actually got him.
So yeah, the Department of Treasury, this makes sense.
Why send the Treasury department after a gangster wanted for murder, bootlegging, and prostitution?
Because Capone was way too willy to leave evidence of a serious crime, and the government vowed to get him by any way it could, and then Elmer Ray headed a unit pursuing Capone for the IRS.
That's how they got him on tax evasion, guys.
And then a general of the drug wars, this was um let's see here.
Anslinger had served as an assisted commercial prohibition as he proposed outlawing the purchase of alcohol.
1930 Anslinger was appointed commissioner of the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics.
He remained there for 32 years.
That was a DEA guys, Bureau of Narcotics.
And then obviously we got Hoover.
Right?
Which, you know.
I don't know if you guys know, but he played for the other team.
That's a whole conversation.
For nearly half a century, Edgar Hoover was synonymous with FBI.
He was not always synonymous with fighting organized crime.
However, uh, who led the Bureau of Investigation and success with FBI from 1924 to 1972, bro?
Holy crap.
So he long dismissed a national crime syndicate as a baloney only when mob actively became undeniable to Hoover shift from uh catching bank robbers to catching mobsters.
And there's a reason for this, by the way, guys.
The reason why um Hoover didn't go so aggressively against the the uh organized crime was because Mary Lansky had compromising photos of him doing things that were suspect.
That is why they didn't go after the uh the FBI didn't go after the mob as hard because Miralanski had him in check.
Then you can look here, look at these like old toys from back in the day.
Look, G Man, G Man outfit.
So they make it a curbi akaba, I guess.
So they make it a curbi akaba, I guess.
Yeah, literally cops become cool.
Yeah.
Right.
And then look, it looks like this is what they uh had.
The vest and the Thompson um submachine gun, Thompson reproduction.
Oh, that's like a uh Tommy that they made themselves on?
I think so.
Machine guns and then equal protection, and then they had a vest right here.
Mustard had always packed heat.
Increasingly, they packed hotter heat.
The Thomson Machine gun, tummy gun developed for World War I and available on the eve of prohibition, escalated the violence and fear.
Law enforcement scrambled to keep up in this arms race.
Arms race.
It bolstered its own arsenal and arm itself with new laws regulating the sale and use of firearms.
Yeah, they had to get better guns.
So you can see here.
Thank you.
All right, let's keep pushing.
All right.
And target tax dodgers.
So this is how they ended up getting um Capone, as you guys know, was through the uh through tax violations.
So bombsters went to prison, it rarely was for murder, robbery, or corruption, often was because they didn't pay their taxes.
And guys, these guys were smart.
They cleaned up their, you know, they cleaned by themselves or they went ahead and intimidated witnesses so they wouldn't testify against them.
So how are you gonna get them?
You're gonna get them for not paying taxes.
And that's that's how they actually got Capone.
He killed a bunch of people, but they couldn't get him on that.
They got him on taxes.
So after killing a bunch of people, isn't that crazy?
Can I get you on that one?
Yeah.
Yeah, so it goes here.
So they caught him.
So they uh they caught him, he had the police and the politicians' pocket, and good luck finding home hometown witnesses and willing to testify against him, but the team had compiled a paper trail that showed a Capone reaping big profits without paying his fair share.
Um, fearing Capone would then threaten uh or kill two key witnesses, agents kept them hidden out of state until it was time for them to testify, and the learning and learning that Capone planned to tamper with the jury, Judge James Wilkerson introduced a new set of jurors on the trial's opening day on October 17, 1931, the jury found Capone guilty.
So that's crazy.
They actually had to get a jury the day of the trial.
So they wouldn't tamper with the witnesses or the jury.
Oh, look at this.
Another set of creds.
You see, you said see that guys?
Right here, internal department internal revenue.
And then look, boom, special agent right there.
These are old IRS creds.
That's really cool.
So be like their batch back then?
Yeah.
Yeah, I used to have a uh set too.
Um, whose signature and picture appear above under the seal of the Internal Revenue Service is duly commissioned as special agent and has authority to perform all duties uh conferred upon such officers under all laws and regulations administered by the Internal Revenue Service, including the authority to investigate and require and receive information as to all matters relating to such laws and regulations.
And then you can see their date 10-1, 1953.
They had to put canceled there to have it be done.
But uh yeah.
That's cool, and it has a signature there too.
Cancelled.
So yeah, all these old people wonder for taxing by uh invasion.
And then look, murder ink right here.
Yeah, no, and it's not jaw rule, guys.
Lepke dead or alive.
Lucy Levki did all he could to avoid being caught, it wasn't enough.
Come on, bro.
Shout out the real murder ink.
And then you got Albert TikTok Tannebom, Seymour Blue Jaw Magoon, Samuel Red Levine, Joe Adonis, Jacob Gura, Shapiro, Bugsy Siegel, Albert Anastasia.
Well, you guys already know from the last names where these dudes are from, and I'll tell you this, it's not it.
Oh, this is so cool.
Watch this.
No.
It's an electric chair.
Alright, so Mari.
Huh?
You gotta think.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'll do it gladly.
Yeah, gladly is crazy.
This guy said, "Gladly." He said it, "Gladly." Yeah.
Now you have to do it.
No.
No.
The Jerusalem die.
Should have started shooting.
So uh the repeal of prohibition abruptly ended organized crime smuggling and speakeasy operations, but it didn't end its ambition.
So now guys they gotta find new ways to make money.
Now that alcohol is legal again.
So what did they do?
they started fixing sports The mob goes to war.
Oh, look at this.
So here's to becoming so you can hear shit.
The chat's saying W because you turn on the electric chair.
Oh.
Becoming a maid man.
During the mob wasn't something you did lately.
Getting in was tough, getting out, tougher of acceptance involved family, ethnicity, and religion, La Cosa Nostra, which means our thing in Italian.
Um initially welcomed only men of Sasaian descent, as learned in a wiretap of an induction in Medford, Massachusetts in 1989.
Members were made in ceremonies that included burning a saints picture and a blood oath to Amerta or Code of Silence.
Right here, so here, touch the screen, right?
You know why you're here, right?
The thing that I don't know, I'm a main member of the mind.
Why don't we certainly go there's way back in the morning.
I don't know if I'm going to say it.
It's a lifetime.
You know what I'm saying?
There's nothing more serious in this.
There's no driving back.
In winter, when you think, you're good, and a slap.
But you're a mom and a mom, based on action, the whole best thing ever had been on the last.
We don't know how we got out there.
But here we are.
Something we find shall we say.
You guys want to join the mob?
I guess we are.
Okay, we're about to become made, guys.
Beyond the world, the concilier and captain.
You know these men.
You've seen them around.
And if you think about it, you know who they are, you'll have to allow it.
You must always pay respect.
Gentlemen, any of you got a problem with this woman?
Anything we need to fill up?
We need to bring new members into our families.
Starting the beginning for you.
This thing is job.
It's a good thing.
Loyalty until death.
You want this so bad?
You're so desperate to have this, that even if your mother is in bed, die before she gone to the shell and do this.
It's an emergency.
Yeah.
Sure.
What if I was to tell you someone in your family was so on the coast of your coasting full of gratitude and going to testify in those lives?
If I told you it was a killer, do you all work with a patient?
Yeah.
Go ahead, Angie.
Yeah, go ahead.
What the heck?
She said that, yeah.
Oh, time to cut the finger.
You gotta cut your finger?
Yeah.
Yeah, they cut your finger to make the oaths.
Yep.
You know, I'm thinking about the sopranos.
I want to be in the end of this organization.
What is this thing?
Yeah, this is how you get sworn in, bro.
Oh my god.
Now that you're a part of us, you must always remember certain things.
Never talk about our business with anybody outside of the family.
Stay the way you are.
Do not let this money.
Stay away from the wives of the many guys.
Never raise your hand before they die without permission.
And never, never betray your guard's hands.
Any of these offenses will be their pain.
I agree.
Stays here.
Congratulations.
Yay, I'm not sure.
Uh they give us a hug.
They can't make women though.
Yeah, make women.
That's okay.
Um, oh wait, wait.
Look at this.
You can hear.
The wiretap?
Yeah.
You can hear this.
Oh, betting on horses, okay.
yeah it's really cool Oh, and this is all like the cities where the Montpice...
Yep.
Oh, my...
Yep.
Yeah.
Here, let's take Miami.
Look.
This is the menu.
If we press it, we press the menu and we go to Miami.
We'll see.
Organized crime.
Miami like Las Vegas.
Yep.
Was lost long considered an open city by the underworld.
A nice vacation spot for everybody.
Since all Capany made the area his second home in the 1920s.
Wait, where did he leave?
Chicago.
Oh, wait, no.
Chicago.
No, but like the he had a house in Miami.
Yes, he did.
He it's on Miami Beach.
Okay.
It's on Miami Beach.
And then you go menu.
What else do we got here?
Let's look at uh this South.
Northeast.
Hmm.
Let's go Boston, Massachusetts.
Providence.
They're one, right?
Organized crime, sometimes known as the office, the New England mob has had two traditional headquarters.
North Boston North Boston and Massachusetts and Providence.
Um Rhode Island.
Each has been uh periodically ruled by different bosses, but Boston was historically taken a backseat to Providence owing to the presence of powerful underworld force in Rhode Island.
Boston was weakened by the fact that the New England crime family could not integrate the city's Irish-American gangsters, most notably James Whitey Bolger.
I thought you could touch the booty kind of...
And then Cleveland, Ohio.
I didn't know that that was like a whole bomb.
Myra, come on.
I'm clicking it.
You we want Ohio or Cincinnati.
I was doing a Cleveland.
There you go.
Prohibition was a colorful era for what was then the nation's fifth largest city.
Oh wow.
The era was highlighted.
Back then it was the fifth largest.
What's the fifth?
Nobody's going to Cleveland now.
That place sucks.
And then Tampa, this is a Trapaconte's right here.
Organized crime in Tampa.
Or sorry, yeah, in Tampa.
Alright, let's uh Well, obviously, oh hold on.
New York, New York, you you know that one.
No, that five five minutes, yeah.
Not New Orleans.
Yeah.
Yeah, New York City is home to The most five five most powerful crime families in America.
Each of these families evolved from gangs in different parts of the city.
at the conclusion of the Casa Molloriz War in 1931.
Then top boss, Salvatore Maranzano, officially organized the families, but it wouldn't be until early 1960 that the five families became household names: Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese.
Joe Valenci, a former Lucchese soldier, described the organization to the U.S. Senate's McLean Committee.
He called it "La Cosa Noce" or LCN.
This was the first time the title was used outside of mob inner circles.
Oh look, Martin, sport in life.
So they rigged also sports like boxing.
Oh yeah, of course.
I remember um when we had uh Michael Francis, he talked about how they used to fix the sports.
It says isn't there that Mohammed Hali was the first one not to be corrupted by the mob not bought by the mob.
Oh, he's the first one to not let them corrupt.
Yeah.
Yeah, he wanted to beat them niggas up, that's why.
Yeah, he was like, I'm not losing no fight.
They will smug uh smuggl um smugglers stop in the tomato cams.
Hey, look, this is this is I think this is Mary Lansky's passport right here, guys.
Is it?
Yep.
Look.
Mary Lansky right there, boom.
1969.
He was born in Russia.
Yeah.
Yep.
Definitely a chich, yeah.
Definitely.
Yeah, he he was Russian, but we really know where he gets my look.
He says that he travel uh the State Department issued the passport to longtime mob master Madame Lansky in 1967.
He was cancelled in 1969.
After Lansky received another passport in 1970, he traveled to Israel.
Oh my god.
Intended to stay there to avoid charges of casino scheming in Las Vegas.
Yep.
Israel saved them.
So he wanted to become uh become uh Israel C Israeli citizen.
But negative publicity about his criminal past led to his to his application denial in 1971.
Boom.
You guys ready to go down?
Yeah, let's go.
Alright.
We have to rush now, Martin.
Just so you know.
We have to rush out.
No, no, no, it's only 850.
I mean, it's sorry, 810.
Okay.
We still got an hour.
So now we're gonna we covered the origins of the mob.
We covered prohibition, we covered law enforcement, like starting to finally go after these guys.
So now we're going on the second floor, guys.
How are you guys liking the tour so far?
You guys like it?
Give me ones in the chat if you guys are liking this.
Give us ones.
or twos, if you got a two, tell us what you want us to fix.
Oh, which way is it?
They say it once?
Sweet.
Okay.
And if they if it's two, then tell us what you guys want us to do better.
Maybe the sound or some shit.
Okay.
Mob on the rise.
After World War II.
So now guys we're we're getting into the uh into the uh 40s and 50s.
After because we covered the obviously 1800s and 1900s or early.
After World War II organized crime grew stronger and more creative, the mob pursued illicit profits wherever they could be found, from manipulation of labor unions to hidden ownership of Las Vegas casinos.
Mobsters often got what they wanted by intimidating and bribing politicians, police, and judges amid relentless headlines about mob violence and corruption.
The US Senate launched an investigation in 1950, led by the Tennessee Senator Estees, uh Kavauer, uh Kefafer.
Kfauer.
Yeah.
The committee held hearings nationwide, including one in the courtroom down the hall.
So it's this way.
Yeah.
So we'll go down this way, guys.
Yeah, I need to get some drinks, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
We'll find it.
I think it's right here.
Hello.
Oh, okay.
Maybe somebody will come back.
Yeah.
You good?
Oh, there's somebody.
Nice, okay.
Hey, what's up, man?
Um, yeah, can we get uh some waters and uh just the hands up?
Uh man, is there somewhere we can get stuff?
Uh the gift story has your outfit up the day.
Okay.
Um I'm just wearing something chilly because it's really hot here.
Yeah, no worries.
We're wearing jeans, jean shorts, courts.
Yeah, yeah.
We can have the girls grab us uh some stuff, Bills.
Yeah.
Can you can you grab some water for everybody?
Oh here, I'll give you Angie.
Give me the thing here.
Yeah, downstairs, first floor.
Okay.
Me and Bills will keep filming and then you guys just grab us waters and uh energy drinks or whatever.

Yeah, we'll be here on the second floor waiting for you guys.
We'll keep filming.
Okay.
Okay.
Excuse me.
So we're going to go into this little courtroom, guys.
Nobody really wants criminals.
Who is?
And dogs.
Yeah.
Like in a courtroom, guys.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
This is the most court.
You know, I never even done jury duty.
No, you never done jersey.
Nah.
I always say I'm the cop of a friend.
I'm not in front of a cop, and then let me go.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm too biased.
So they're gonna do another showing, and we'll come back and bring it in for you guys when when uh when they gotta do another courtroom.
Judge Myron in the house.
Judge Myron in the house, bro.
Judge Gaines.
You know it.
You know it.
Whatever happened to Forgotten.
Overused.
Influential establishers.
Damn jail is crazy.
Okay, the televised tribunal transformed politician monsters and moles into celebrities.
But what became of them once the hearings ended, some like Mickey Cohen and Frank Castilla were jailed.
Others, including most committee members disappeared back into the woodwork.
A few retained the spotlight, including Kefar, who twice ran for president.
Okay.
Here you can see them right here.
Some more memorabilia.
I always want one of those hats.
Yeah, I'm about to buy one.
I'm actually inspired.
No rats.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, that's a Marshall's badge right there on the bottom, on the right.
Okay.
Here, let's um see what the movie slid it back up.
Yeah.
Well, I think it was until proven guilty.
Like two minutes is going to start.
Like two minutes is going to start.
Oh, I think we're supposed to go that way.
And uh well we can hear one minute.
Take your seats immediately.
Alright, one minute is gonna start.
So we can come sit in.
Yeah, give Bills a break too.
Here, it's probably better if we sit up front, right?
Yeah, we gotta sit up front because you know the camera.
Yeah, we'll sit up front so you guys can see.
And you guys can hear.
Have you guys been able to hear pretty well?
Give me ones in the chat.
Have you guys been able to hear good on the sound like whenever we watch these little movies?
Oh, okay, the movies is a good question.
Yeah.
Ooh, I suppose.
Yeah.
Alright, chat.
Let me look here.
Give me ones, I'm looking in the chat.
Alright, you guys have been able to hear it pretty good?
Sweet.
Okay.
Good, good, good, good, good.
People have been DM and saying thank you.
I appreciate y'all too.
Hey, man.
Shout out to all you ninjas.
Again, sorry that we're doing this late, but as you guys know, we're West Coast time right now, so obviously West Coast time is uh a little bit different, but hey, we're bringing you to this guys, honestly, this this museum is lit, man.
There's like more stuff too to read here.
It's just that we don't obviously show everything, but yeah, thank you, Bills.
Yeah.
Like they have like a full-on courtroom in this bitch.
Yeah.
Yep.
So they're gonna do like a little show here, and we'll be able to watch it together.
There you go.
Alright, chat.
Yeah, you want to take a bills or you got it.
Yeah, the thing's gonna come down.
The screen's gonna come down, guys.
And you'll be able to build a crowd is on the rise across America.
Okay, I can take him, bro.
This is L. Bills.
We all know he's been arrested.
Y'all pull him out.
You got an asshole.
FBI director J. Edgar Hoover downplayed its very existence.
Yet by 1950, organized crime was raking in over 15 billion dollars a year, munchment from illegal gambling.
For the average American, organized crime was in its own world, very far from Main Street USA.
But then to say my boss, Charles Panaggio was found murdered, and witnesses heard several shots coming from the Democratic Club, each with four bullets.
A monster inside Democratic Party headquarters and murdered there.
Suddenly, crime and corruption will break in the heart of Middle America.
Virgil Peterson of the Chicago Crime Commission shined a spotlight on the connection between criminals and politicians.
Organized crime cannot exist without an alliance between those in control of rackets and those in political authority.
The inner workings of this secret empire were more closely guarded than Fort Knox.
Who would fight back against the racketeers, the criminals, and the corrupt politicians?
In May of 1950, a special Senate committee was formed to expose and destroy organized crime in America.
Led by a fiercely ambitious senator from Tennessee, Estes Key Far.
Our aim is to prove that organized crime operates on a syndicated basis across state lines in the United States.
And that it is a much bigger and more sinister operation than we had ever suspected.
The Keith Over Committee would crisscross the country, stopping in courtrooms and hearing rooms in 14 cities, including this very room in Las Vegas.
They would hear testimony from over 800 witnesses, suspected murderers, disgraced politicians, alleged Mafia leaders.
Is the truth at all?
Once the subpoenas started flying, many monsters went into hunting to avoid testifying.
Some developed sudden and mysterious illnesses, the press called Key Favoritis.
Senator, I had three major coronary thrombosis and I had diarrhea for six weeks.
So, got worse.
Samuel Rummel, the lawyer for Mickey Cola, was to go before the Senate committee in Los Angeles.
But the day before testifier, he found himself on the wrong side of the gun.
The lawyer for alleged crime boss, Mickey Cohen, was shot on fire.
Rumble was murdered so he couldn't testify.
It was a stark warning to others about talking to the country.
On your own, many witnesses had sudden bouts of forgetfulness.
I don't recall.
I can't recall.
I have no recollection.
I don't recall such a conversation.
Others pledged to tell the truth, but hid behind the fifth amendment.
I refuse to answer on the ground in the main.
One man who didn't hide behind the fifth was Mo Davids.
The former bootlegger wasn't afraid to taunt senators who enjoyed their foods from time to time.
Now to get your investments started off, you got yourself a pretty good little nest egg out of rum running, didn't you?
If you people wouldn't have drunk it, I wouldn't have bootleg.
Well done.
Daylips may have scored a point that day, but the committee continued their own wavering pursuit of corruption by going after wives and girlfriends.
High on the list was Virginia Hill.
No for dating racketeers like Bugsy Cognized Prime Lady, a bugsy single was shot in the buttonian tone of his mistress, Virginia Hill.
Do you think you would like to tell the committee the story of your life as it involves your financial affairs?
Well, I worked for a while.
I think that's the men I was around gave me things.
When I was in bed, that's no matter.
Yeah.
My band you named Ben Siegel.
Yes.
He gave me some money too.
Here in Las Vegas, banking was legal, but the committee was intent on finding out who really ran the casinos.
Wilbur Clark, builder of the desert inn sat in this very room across from Senator Kefauber and his committee to testify about the colour.
I thought it was gonna be like uh you know, like a business part of the thing, but before you got invented the crooks to finish the proposition, didn't you look into these birds?
Oh not too much.
No, you didn't care where the money came from.
How dirty and rotten just wanted to finish the building.
I didn't hear anything bad about those fellas.
Apparently, Wilbur Clark was the only person in Las Vegas who hadn't heard anything bad about his partner's Mo David's and the Cleveland syndicate.
Prior to 1950, most senator hearings were held far from the public eye, but the keyframe hearings were broadcast on television in seven cities.
Oh shit.
No wonder they want to talk about that.
And even I demand her.
I had no business.
I brought him some evidence of that support on the intention and a farm of 10,000.
The cameras were rolling when the key fobber committee pulled into New York City in March 1951.
By now, America was disgusted by the amount of corruption they had seen.
Cops, judges, politicians, paid by organized crime to turn a blind eye to illegal activity.
The long witness list included underworld celebrities, like Joe Joey A. Adonis, Albert Anastasia, known as the Lord High Executioner, and the so-called Prime Minister of the Underworld, Markia Kingpin, Frank Costello.
You must have in your mind some things you've done that you can speak of to your credit as an American citizen.
And if so, what are they paying my cash?
After several days of reluctance and his testimony, Costello had had nothing.
All the respect for the sandwich actor, an awful lot of respect for him.
I'm not going to answer another question.
He just says I'm not under arrest and I'm going to walk out.
That start earned Costello 18 months in prison for contempt.
It was no assurance that mobsters and racketeers...
After the Key Fobber hearings, Americans could no longer deny that crime and corruption had infiltrated their communities.
And America fought back with crackdowns against crime and criminals in cities and towns across the country.
In Chicago, that's a legal Cleveland.
Another way on an illegal camera.
We have to use.
Just very close.
We have to wait.
The closing of many multi-million dollar wire services across the country.
Consider the likeness.
The committee's work carried out in this very room and thirteen other cities brought America face to face with the mob.
It revealed the extent of organized crime and corruption, how it works, and where Americans have finally seen the underworld for what it really was.
All right.
Cool.
That's cool that the hearing's in this courtroom, guys.
That's where they did it.
Because this used to be a courthouse.
Really?
Yeah.
That's gangster.
Yeah.
I already know to this courtroom, you see?
That's very interesting.
Ha!
No rats.
There's a debt rat right there.
Oh, really?
Oh, we haven't seen it.
Yeah, so now we're gonna go into here, guys.
Oh, this is Las Vegas part of it.
I think.
Yeah, this is the Vegas part of it.
As law enforcement across the nation crackdown on illegal gambling must just cast their eyes toward Las Vegas.
Nevada had legalized gambling in 1931 in Las Vegas was an open seal, meaning that no one sindically dominated the town.
That made it an enticing destination for monsters nationwide who were eager to start fresh and launch new adventures.
The Chet said you'd be better than fresh and crisp.
Nice.
W. Your face is hilarious, then you can look here.
The words in the Las Vegas strip.
Sunshine.
The origins of Las Vegas streams.
And to think that now the strip, like the strip looks how it looks right now, and it used to look like that.
All empty and just a bunch of fields.
Just ranchos everywhere.
This is crazy, guys.
This is crazy, guys.
She's definitely dead.
Who?
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
I don't know who that is, but okay.
Then you see here.
Benjamin Bugsy Siegel started investing in Las Vegas as early as 1941, but he saw the flamingo is his path to mainstream respectability.
And then swanky flamingo reshaped strip.
The flamingo hotel set a new standard for Las Vegas casino resorts.
It's sleek modern facade and lavish appointments were a stark contrast to old West themes of its predecessors.
Um popular cultures credit mobster Benjamin Bugsy Siegel with creating the flamingo, but Hollywood businessman Billy Wilkerson bought the land and started building the flamingo in 1945.
When Wilkerson ran short of funds, he turned to the new New York mob for financial help.
Siegel, the mob's point man in Vegas, worked side by side with Wilkerson for a few months, and he eventually forced Wilkerson out and sees full control of the project.
Bro, imagine that you get build up a casino and then this dude just goes, hey bro, get the fuck out of here.
It's mine now.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yep.

Okay.
Mary Lanski, childhood friend of Bugsy Seagull long served as a clandestine investor in the flamingo in 1960 exchange for a 200,000 dollar finders fee.
Andrew, can you look up 200,000 in 1960?
Lansky brokered a $10.5 million sale of the Flamingo to Miami Beach hoteliers Morris Landsberg, Samuel Cohen, and Daniel Lifter.
Oh, all them boys.
In 1971, federal prosecutors charged Lansky, Lansky, Landberg, Cohen, and four others were conspiring to skim $36 million of casino proceeds from 1960 to 1968.
I think it's two mil, but I don't know what this number is.
That's a lot of numbers.
Yeah, yeah, two million, yeah, two million hundred twenty-five thousand.
Y'all need help.
I blame you, man.
And he got killed.

In 1965, yeah.
Shout out to Mohammed Ali.
Oh, she's 77?
77.
*laughs*
Um, this is what they kept in the 1950s.
Clark County Sheriff's Department kept us the blue book, a compendium of dossiers on hoodlums and criminals who are not welcome in Las Vegas.
Sheriff's rifle.
Look at this, beyond the strip.
Look at this.
Oh, damn.
There is Bills.
Oh, okay.
Beyond the strip.
Okay.
Loaded dice or introduced to a game.
It was between 1951-1963, 100 above ground nuclear explosion at the Nevada testing site Northwest of Las Vegas attracted military observers and tourists alike.
By removing the pain, and growing a deeper hole in an added weight, it's just going to Because there really isn't anything out here, guys.
Once you leave Vegas, it's just all desert, bro.
The opposite number do appear more often.
Oh.
Another way to tamper with the thing.
No way.
Oh, look at this.
I didn't know that was a thing.
That died.
Most reputable.
Then we'll pull things inside the dice to make it way more so they can.
That's crazy.
That's regularly in the hood.
What?
I've seen my first pair of dice at 8.
That's crazy.
Oh.
Oh, wow, I didn't know that was a thing.
Well, this thing.
Let's see this.
No, it doesn't.
and it's like Yeah, look, you can see it right here, altar dice.
Well, how do you know we have something inside?
Seems empty.
This is why gambling is bad, guys.
Just don't gamble.
The monsters who finance these casinos all took their share of the profits.
Tax-free.
This is their room.
This is where I need to be.
You can take it.
That's a whole harder, man.
Hold on, hold on.
What was this, the Rothstein's?
This is the Rothstein's R.A. I can't.
I can't.
Take cash out of the drop boxes.
This is crazy.
There is ten thousand in each.
Look at this.
Miami hotel owners Morris Landsberg and Sam Cohen who bought the flamingo in 1969.
Later admitted to skimming.
36 million in untaxed income from the casino between 1960 and 1967.
"Iris, Agents of Rand who raided Landsberg and Cohen's New York City offices discovered details of the flamingo skim, many of which were based on evidence from Mayor Lansky." The skim of the Stardust?
Because it's heavily cashed, so they could go ahead and skim, right?
Here's what the skim is, guys, right here.
The idea behind the skim is simple.
Pocket some of the cash before it's officially counted, reducing the amount reported as taxable income or shared with investors.
From the very beginning, Mobster systematically pocketed a percentage of the gross receipts.
Methods varied, including dummying ledgers, bribing guards, and tamping uh tampering with slot machines.
And then they would skim all over the place.
Skim here in the Tropicana.
After 1957 opening the Tropicana skim roughly 150,000 a month went to part-time owner Frank Costello, Sam Giancana, in Chicago, and New Orleans boss Carlos Marcelo.
And you can use a check 150,000 in n 1957.
This is a month, by the way.
When Costello was shot in 1957, our paper in his pockets listed details of the Tropicana's first three weeks, including his gross receipts, slot revenue, and outstanding IOUs from an unnamed casino.
It's one million six hundred and seventy-nine thousand.
today.
Crazy.
The number written on a scrap of paper found in Frank Costello's pocket after he was shot in botched assassination attempt.
It also said "Gross Casino win, Force 26-57", which represented the scheme from the first two weeks of this...
We got 20 minutes by the way.
Damn.
Okay.
Yeah, we got we still got one floor more, right?
Yeah, we got another floor.
Okay.
Here, Las Vegas goes straight.
The kaf kafa hearings focused federal attention on Las Vegas comp uh complicating life for mob bosses and local officials alike.
Syndicate responded by shifting to legitimate enterprise at the same time.
the casino resort business was evolving outside entrepreneurs built a new breed of resorts while Nevada cultivated a more corporate business climate and a more family-friendly reputation Oh, by the place.
Spinning a deadly web.
And there is a web there.
And then look, it's just spreading its reach.
You see the web says corruption.
I was with us.
Infiltrated on you.
By an election.
The Chinese Department of Alice is corrupt at this time.
They've taken money from the chapter of these regular scriptural.
A substantial evidence of the release of the author.
When I was in the last possible history of the United States.
The movie is there.
Maybe it's the unadone effect.
We only kill each other.
Throughout American history, syndicates have been happy to sell their services to politicians of any party.
Many elections, local as well as national, have been won amid suspicions of ballast stuffing, intimidation, and vote buying.
Many elections, local as well as national, have been won amid suspicions of ballast stuffing, Oh look.
Because mob influence is widespread, it's metas, shadow each conspiracy theorists flourish.
They link uh they link organized crime to all manner of events.
From the Kennedy assassination to unexplained disappearances.
Some whispers are true.
The reality often rivals fiction.
Often revival fiction.
Rival fiction.
Okay.
Back then, so people would think that the mob killed Kennedy.
Of course he was in.
Yeah, I mean, it wasn't just him.
It was a bunch of people.
We only kill each other.
Buzzy Siegel's assurance that we only kill each other was supposedly meant to reassure Del Webb, builder of the Flamingo Hotel.
It wasn't true, and nobody knows if it helped Webb sleep peacefully, but the anecdote implicitly acknowledges the gruesome violence that was part of the mob life, extracting way, exacting a terrible toll on individuals and families, often on innocent bystanders.
Look at that.
We only kill each other.
Isn't that crazy you will say that?
Don't worry, bro, invest with me.
Well, they kill each other.
What about Castellano?
Castellano, I'm not breaking up John Gotti.

He told investigators he had been a prolific hitman with ties to organized crime groups.
He said he was responsible for 17-18 murders.
Nevada's gas chamber built in 1951 was about 10 feet by 10 feet and modeled on California's gas chamber at San Quentin.
It contained two identical metal chairs that were bolted to the floor.
had slots and brackets.
Bishop sent a chair of cyanide gas released into the chamber, depriving of oxygen.
He died in nine minutes.
The chairs were removed from the gas chamber after 1983 and replaced with gurney for lethal injections.
