A close associate of longtime Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa and associated with the Chicago Outfit, Alan Dorfman embezzled millions for the mob and himself until he was violently murdered in 1983.
they tried to get him for bribing a senator, but the senator walked away clean after accepting the bribe.......the more things change, the more they stay the same
Brilliant documentary; I remember those years very well! Greatest decade for US!However, everything, except Hoffa, was unheard by the general public in those days. The question is what happened to all that money once the cash flow to the mafia stopped. The in-flows to system continued, insurance companies flourished, but pensión funds, including Social Security (SS!), withered away and are now on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe the Cosa Nostra found a new niche in the system and is happily living in the corridors of power. Maybe a history of the background of the two principal characters of this documentary would provide some clues as to their origins, their alligeiance, and their loyalty lays. Maybe their last names give US a clue...
He lost re-election. He may not have got criminally indicted which he should have been, but he lost re-election which for him is he lost political power.
I@@RobertojavierSilvaharth-ub3pzI can answer that question for you it was the government and the insurance companies and the politicians who took over once the money stopped to the mafia
Bro! My grandma saw this guy get murdered!!! She was at a luncheon with my grandpa at the purple hotel in Lincolnwood, she was looking out the window and saw the whole thing.
Yeah and then 20 years later come out and say you was drugged and assaulted and it’s not about the money, you just don’t want it to happen to any other woman…
Teamsters actually made great interest off those loans. Las Vegas was built with those loans & then junk bonds. It created a huge industry that employed a lot of people. It's not like they were conducting a money laundering scheme in Ukraine or anything like that.
“Great interest off those loans” after the recipient of those loans goes broke? Yeah, sure🤦♂️. The Ukraine deal wasn’t so much money laundering as extortion.” I will approve that $400 million aid package President Zelenskyy , but I want you to do me a favour though”. DJT
Dorfman survived Iwo Jima as a combat Marine and won a Silver Star (FYI, this battle was a bloodbath and the only one where the US had more total casualties than the Japanese)....end he ended up like this.
FBI Agent Flosi shared the same last name as my great grandmother. My grandfather, who was a Chicago mobster, use to jokingly call him "cousin". I never did find out if we were actually related.
If law enforcement thought they might be able to flip and suspected that the mob were thinking the same, why didn't the law take steps to protect Dorfman?
I'm guessing: The FBI couldn't protect him as a witness because he wasn't a witness for the government. Seems Dorfman was in a Catch-22 of his own making and likely knew he'd be killed, which he may have felt would be better than prison or committing suicide. Again, just guessing!
Some inaccuracies. The generality is that the Central States loans re casinos were closely examined by federal investigators. They couldn't understand the criminality because the loans were being paid back on time in full.
😢There is nothing in hand that only amenace is under control day after day where I ask for support no one answers me my bank looks at me and they pretend nothing is happening but ask for protection money???😢
@45:10 to 45:20, the FBI guy says Oof Dorfman: "with his high life style, all the acrudiments [sic] of the rich that he had, would all be taken away in prison" WTF are "acrudiments" [sic]?
I tried to explain the fact that it is not the Italian but the Jewish accountants. He hated the Italian. Personally it doesn't matter to me. My father who was affiliated in Boston⛄
First they asked me for my PUK, my PIN said my name was GP Morgan, the best bank in America, I called a man named Cardone who said your money is in cash 🤷
46:30 well dumb Feds, why in the world did they not "think outside the box" a little and protect Dorfman prior to his sentencing?? It should have been a no-brainer.
So, what's the big deal if the Union members end up being funded by the profits of the casinos? Looks to me like a good bet for bettering the pensions of union members, of which I am not.
Dorfman had no particular skill or intelligence that was above average. He was just a frontman for a group of criminals that were larger than the mafia but rarely if ever answer to the law.
Didn't the judge in the case of the killer hold a bench trial, not guilty in five minutes. And the judge ran out, went home and offed himself? Or was that a different case.
I had a small business in Lincolnwood in ‘83 and drove by the spot where he was put down that day just a block away; the feds got him killed, he knew too much!
IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR BANKS TO LOAN MONEY FOR GAMB LING PURPUSES, YOU PEOPLE FPRGPT TO MENTION YJIS FACT, SO I ASK YOU, WHERE WERE PEOPLE TO GO TO LOAN MONEY TO BUILD THESE HOTELS AND CASINOS....
Only made 4K a year. But probaly could by a 3 bedroom house for 12 - 15K, and that house would be worth probaly 750K now.. Me? I make 65K a year and have to decide between gas for car or food. I take bus to work. Takes 45 minutes there. 45 minutes back… TRUMP2024
Rare house in Chicago built in 1960 with 3 bedrooms or earlier for 750k. Most houses that old have been torn down. If your still riding that bus 2 years into Trumps second term. Then what?
No one in DC does anything productive for middle class folks. Only corporations, special interests, and rich people. Doesn't matter who is in the White House. They all suck
Both parties got you there more so President Nixon, who took the Country off the gold standard because the Vietnam war banking the US , there gold supply was running low
