THE 1950'S BOOM IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA AND HAVANA, CUBA!

 MOE DALITZ BEGAN HIS RISE TO FAME AND FORTUNE IN THE 1950'S. THESE YEARS PROVIDED A NEW SOURCE OF INCOME FROM THE PENT UP DEMAND OF WORLD WAR II. THIS WAS OFTEN CALLED THE GOLDEN AGE FOR THE LAS VEGAS CASINO BUSINESS.

 THE REALITY IS THAT BY THE 1930'S ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROLLED EVERY MAJOR GAMBLING ESTABLISHMENT IN LAS VEGAS AND CUBA. THE MOB NOW HAD INTERNATIONAL PLANS TO EXPAND INTO CUBA AND DEVELOP A CENTER FOR A LEGAL GAMBLING GLOBAL MARKETPLACE.


MOE DALITZ HAD LEARNED THE VALUE OF BEING IN LANSKY'S GAMBLING NETWORK. DALITZ WAS GIVEN HIS FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE HIS MID-WESTERN OPERATION TO LAS VEGAS. DALITZ IMMEDIATELY INVESTED IN THE DESERT INN.

ORGANIZED CRIME HAD TO INVEST $22 BILLION DOLLARS THEY EARNED FROM PROHIBITION.  THEY HAD CREATED A VIET CONG APPROACH TO BORING INTO THE LAS VEGAS MARKET AND CUBAN MARKET.

THE GREEN FELT JUNGLE CHARACTERIZED THE DEVIANT LAS VEGAS SUB-CULTURE. THIS INVISIBLE SUB-CULTURE LOOKED OUTSIDE THE DALITZ POWER STRUCTURE. LAS VEGAS HAD A GOLDEN AGE OF GANGSTERS, PROSTITUTES, CHEATERS AND INTERCONNECTING LEVELS OF HUMAN CORRUPTION.

MEYER LANSKY WAS IN A GAMBLING RACE WITH MOE DALITZ. LANSKY'S CASINO EMPIRE REPRESENTED HAVANA, CUBA AND MOE DALITZ CASINO EMPIRE REPRESENTED LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. BOTH HAVANA AND LAS VEGAS HAD LEGALIZED GAMBLING IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS.

MEYER LANSKY OPERATED  "OUT OF HIS HAT" AND KEPT HIS RECORDS SECRET.
MOE DALITZ HIRED ACCOUNTANTS AND KEPT PUBLIC RECORDS IN LAS VEGAS. DALITZ CREATED LEGAL REAL ESTATE PROJECTS, WHEREAS, LANSKY WAS THE TRUE LAUNDRYMAN OF THE MOB.

 BOTH MEN CREATED MAJOR INNOVATIONS IN THE MERGING GAMING INDUSTRY.
THE REALITY BEHIND THE RISE OF THE CASINOS WAS A NEW SOURCE OF REVENUES COMING FROM MEYER LANSKY'S OPIUM TRADE.

 CITIZEN DALITZ USED THE NEW PENSION CAPITALISM TO FINANCE HIS REAL ESTATE PROJECTS AND CASINOS. THE TEAMSTER FUNDING WAS THE NEW STATE OF ART FOR FINANCING MILLION DOLLAR PROPERTIES.

 MEYER LANSKY BUILT HIS ORGANIZATION FROM  NEW YORK SYNDICATE TO THE PURPLE GANG OF DETROIT AND CLEVELAND MAYFIELD ROAD GANG OF CLEVELAND.

LANSKY BUILT A SHADOW CIA GAMBLING ORGANIZATION. LANSKY HAD A CLIENT BASE OF 30 TO 300 ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE MOB MONOPOLIZED  LANSKY'S TIME AND MONEY AND PUT HIM AT A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.

CITIZEN DALITZ USED A FOUR MAN TEAM AND USED COLLEGE EDUCATED BUSINESSMEN AS HIS KITCHEN CABINET. CITIZEN DALITZ  BUILT A SERIES OF CONCENCENTRIC CIRCLES AROUND HIS CASINO EMPIRE IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

 LANSKY DEVELOPED A SMALL GAMBLING EMPIRE IN FLORIDA. HE USED THIS AS A STAGING BASE FOR HIS ENTRANCE INTO THE CUBAN MARKET. HIS THREE FLORIDA CASINOS WERE THE COLONIAL INN, THE PLANTATION, AND CLUB BOHEME. THEY BROUGHT IN $3 MILLION A YEAR.


 THE CIA WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN HOW SIMILAR HIS CRIME TACTICS WERE WITH CIA TRADECRAFT. LANSKY CREATED MODERN  ORGANIZED CRIME AND MADE THE MAFIA POWERFUL AND RICH.

 THE CIA HAD EVOLVED FROM THE OSS OF WORLD WAR II AND WAS NEW AT SETTING UP CHESS LIKE POLITICAL POLICY MOVES THROUGH COVERT ACTIVITIES. THE CIA UNDER PRESIDENT EISENHOWER BEGAN TO MOVE THE CHESS BOARD IN FAVOR OF THE NEW DOMINO FOREIGN POLICY.

 THE CIA WAS USED IN IRAN, GUATEMALA, VIETNAM, AND CUBA. LANSKY WAS NOW ENTERING INTO THE WORLD OF COLD WAR ESPIONAGE. THE CIA WANTED TO USE THE MOB TO FURTHER ITS INTELLIGENCE OPERATION INTO CUBA. THE BAY OF PIGS WAS A DISASTER FOR THE CIA AND LANSKY.

 THE CIA AND MOSSAD WORKED TOGETHER IN ENABLING ISREAL TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES. THIS ALSO INCLUDED THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENSIVE COVERT OPERATION INVOLVING FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SERVICES, ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILIES,  AND INTERNATIONAL BANKING.

JAMES JESUS ANGLETON WAS A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE OSS COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE SPECIALIST WHO WORKED WITH THE MAFIA IN ITALY DURING WORLD WAR II. TOM MANGOLD BIOGRAPHY ON ANGLETON AND LINDA PEASE HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH INTO THE CHARACTER OF JAMES JESUS ANGLETON.

 ANGLETON WAS ABLE TO RECRUIT MAFIA MEMBERS IN ITALY AND UNITED STATES FOR THE CIA. THIS HOW THE MAFIA BECAME A COVERT ASSET FOR CIA AND MOSSAD. THE  CIA USED LAS VEGAS AND HAVANNA FOR COLD WAR ESPIONAGE. ANGLETON HAD WORKED WITH HOWARD HUGHES AS A CIA ASSET DURING WORLD WAR II AND DURING HIS LAS VEGAS BUYING SPREE.

 THE CIA MEMBERS WERE RECRUITED FROM IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS WHO NOW HAD TO LEARN FROM LOW IQ MOBSTER TRADECRAFT. EVENTUALLY, THE CIA AND MOSSAD WOULD GET EVEN WITH LANSKY AND ORGANIZED CRIME!

LANSKY INTRODUCED NEW GAMBLING INTELLIGENCE INNOVATIONS THAT WAS AHEAD OF THE CIA.  THE CIA HAD TO MASTER A LEARNING CURVE OVER A PERIOD OF 20 YEARS. ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROLLED THE UNDERWORLD OF THE LOWER CLASSES AND THIS WAS A TABOO AREA FOR THE UPPER-CLASS  CIA MEN. CIA WAS A VERY CLASS CONSCIOUS ORGANIZATION THAT PRACTICED SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DISCRIMINATION.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WERE SHOCKED WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THE CIA UNDER OPERATION MONGOOSE  HIRED THE MAFIA TO KILL CASTRO. ANGLETON HAD ATTEMPTED TO PUT TOGETHER AN ASSASSINATION TEAM IN THE EARLY 1960'S BUT IT WAS AN UTTER FAILURE. THE UPPER-CLASS CIA MEMBERS REALIZED THAT THE MOB HAD USED MURDER, INC. SINCE THE 1930'S.

 LANSKY HAD DEVELOPED MANY OF THE CIA TRADECRAFT TECHNIQUES WHICH INCLUDED: (1) FAKE PROHIBITION FRONTS AND CUTOUTS; (2) DEAD MONEY DROP COURIERS IN LAS VEGAS AND HAVANA; (3) POLITICAL INFILTRATION OF BATISTA GOVERNMENT  AND ASSASSINATION;

 (4) RECRUITMENT OF SPIES;  (5) INTERNATIONAL CUBAN BANKING; (5) SHARING NEW GAMBLING INTELLIGENCE WITH CUBAN SECRET POLICE.  UNIONS,  JOURNALISTS,  AND CIA ; (6)  GANGSTER SAFE HOUSES AND STORING ILLEGAL CASH ;

 (7) CUBAN  BRIBERY AND BLACKMAIL OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS; (8) CRIMINAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH  LOCAL CIA STATION CHIEFS AND LOCAL CRIMINAL NETWORK; (9) CUBAN  ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROLLED THE CUBAN IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY AS THIS  BECAME THE DE FACTO POLITICAL FORCE OF THE COMMUNITY I.E. AS EYES AND EARS FOR LANSKY; (10) INTEGRATION OF SECRECY AS A SILENT SYNDICATE POLICY.

 HE USED THE GAMBLING EXPERTISE FROM THE MEMBERS WHO DRIFTED FROM DETROIT AND CLEVELAND. THE PURPLE GANG IN DETROIT HAD A MURDER RATE HIGHER THAN CHICAGO.

 HE DIVERSIFIED HIS INFORMAL ORGANIZATION FROM NEW YORK,  OHIO, KENTUCKY, FLORIDA, CUBA AND LAS VEGAS. THESE ASSOCIATES ESTABLISHED A NETWORK OF ACTIVE ASSOCIATES. THE GAMBLING CASINO BECAME THE NEXUS OF HIS QUASI- INTELLIGENCE EMPIRE.

 MYER LANSKY ESTABLISHED THE SKIM, POINTS, AND MONEY CENTERED BANKS TO SERVICE HIS EMPIRE. HE DEVELOPED A CIRCULAR MODEL OF CASH LAUNDERING. HE STARTED HIS CIRCLE WITH: (1) PROHIBITION PROFITS FROM NEW YORK SYNDICATE; (2) THE FRENCH OPIUM TRADE AND MEXICAN TRADE:

 (3) ILLEGAL GAMBLING CASINOS PROFITS  VIA SKIM AND POINTS ; (4) SOFT CRIME PROFITS OTHER THAN MURDER; (5) MONEY CENTERED BANKS; AND (6) RE-INVESTMENT IN THE FORM OF LOANS TO BUSINESSES, PAYOFFS TO POLITICIANS, AND SHELL BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS.


 AFTER THE DEATH OF LUCKY LUCIANO,  THE HEROIN MARKET COLLAPSED FOR ORGANIZED CRIME.  THEY USED THE CASINO SKIM TO FINANCE TURKISH HEROIN THROUGH MARSEILLES, FRANCE.

 LANSKY USED THE CROSS ATLANTIC HEROIN TRADE DEVELOPED BY LUCKY LUCIANO TO EXPAND INTO CUBA AND LAS VEGAS. HE WORKED DIRECTLY WITH THE CIA. HE HAD BECOME A  PROTECTED ASSET. HE USED  THE AMERICAN MAFIA AS DISTRIBUTORS TO THE AMERICAN MARKET.

  LANSKY STARTED PAYING OFF A NEW SET OF PARTNERS IN SOUTHERN EUROPE. MYER LANSKY INVENTED THE FRENCH CONNECTION WHICH ENDED IN THE 1970'S!

 MEYER LANSKY BRANCHED OUT INTO MEXICO IN THE 1940'S TO SELL MEXICAN OPIUM. THEY USED THE MEXICAN CASINO AGUA CALIENTE AS A NEXUS POINT FOR ILLEGAL SHIPMENTS OF PROFITS, DRUGS,  AND PROSTITUTES.

 HE OPERATED FROM 1938 TO 1950 TO USE MEXICO AS HIS NEXT EMPIRE. HE LATER MOVED TO CUBA.

MEYER LANSKY MASTERPLAN WAS TO CORRUPT THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICAN PRESIDENT MIGUEL ALEMAN. HE WANTED TO SET UP CASINOS IN ACAPULCO, MEXICO AND MARKET ILLEGAL NARCOTICS TO UNITED STATES. HE USED BEN SIEGEL AND HIS GIRL FRIEND VIRGINIA HILL TO SET UP THE ORGANIZATION.

IN 1933, HE PARTNERED WITH MOE DALITZ IN THE FORMATION OF THE MOLASKA CORPORATION. LANSKY PLANNED TO USE MOLASSES AS SUBSTITUTE FOR SUGAR IN THE PRODUCTION OF LIQUOR BUSINESS. THE FEDERAL AGENTS BROKE UP HIS BUSINESS MODEL AND HE AND DALITZ LEFT THE BUSINESS. BOTH MEN REALIZED THAT THEY NEEDED TO FIND A LARGER INCOME THROUGH GAMBLING RACKETS.

 IN 1936, MOE DALITZ INVADED ARIZONA. ARIZONA WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ECONOMIC DEPRESSION. DALITZ HAD THE CASH AND ORGANIZATION. HE ARRIVED IN NOGALES, ARIZONA WITH BIG AL POLIZZI. THEY WERE PLANNING TO DEAL IN ILLEGAL MARKETS IN MEXICO.

THEY HAD MEETINGS WITH JOE ZUCKER, TRIGGER MIKE COPPOLA, AND FRANK MILANO. MOE DALITZ BOUGHT SEVERAL LAUNDRIES IN ARIZONA. HOWEVER, DUE TO WORLD WAR II AND DALITZ MILITARY SERVICE THE PLAN WAS NEVER EXECUTED.

 LATER IN 1945, PETER LICAVOLI BOUGHT THE GRACE RANCH. THIS BECAME A MAFIA HANGOUT IN TUCSON, ARIZONA. MANY MAFIA DRIFTERS ENDED UP IN THE DEAD END OF TUCSON, ARIZONA.  MOE DALITZ WAS NOT VERY EXCITED OVER THE SAND AND LIZARDS OF THE ARIZONA DESERT.

 THE EARLY GAMBLING SLOGAN WAS " THREE THOUSAND DOLLAR FOR THE CASINOS, ONE THOUSAND FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND ONE THOUSAND FOR MYER LANSKY". THE CASINOS WERE BEGINNING TO KEEP THREE SETS OF BOOKS AND USED THIS METHOD TO STRIKE IT RICH.

 THE CASINO SET UP A NETWORK OF BAGMEN AND BAGWOMEN TO MAKE PAYMENTS TO MOBSTERS, INVESTORS AND POLITICOS.

IN 1950, THE LAS VEGAS POPULATION WAS AT 48,000. THERE WERE ONLY 4 ROADS INTO LAS VEGAS AND NO STOP LIGHTS. THIS WAS A VERY SMALL TOWN WITH A LOT OF SHADY PEOPLE COMING INTO NEVADA. MOE DALITZ WAS VERY INTERESTED IN EXPANDING HIS GAMBLING EMPIRE INTO CUBA.

 LAS  VEGAS WAS NOT BUILT BY THE MAFIA BUT BY 50% JEWISH MOBSTER,  25% ITALIAN MOBSTER AND 25% IRISH, AND POLISH MOBSTERS.

 MYER LANSKY ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT WAS THE COUP DE ETAT OF CUBA. CUBA HAD BECOME AN AMERICAN TERRITORY AROUND 1898.

 MOREOVER, CUBAN SOCIETY WAS DRIVEN BY AMERICAN BUSINESS INTERESTS SINCE THE 1880'S. LANSKY WAS AWARE OF THE $935 MILLION INVESTED BY AMERICAN BUSINESS.

 LANSKY'S  BASIC VISION WAS TO POLITICALLY TAKE OVER THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
LANSKY PIONEERED THE ALLIANCE BETWEEN GANGSTER, GAMBLERS AND CORRUPT GOVERNMENT IN CUBA. LANSKY KNEW THE MAGNET THAT GAMBLING MONEY BOUGHT POLITICAL POWER.

HE WANTED TO CREATE AN AMERICAN VERSION OF THE STATE OF MONACO.  HE NOW WAS AT THE PINNACLE OF HIS ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SKILLS. HIS PRIVATE MOBSTER PARADISE WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE COUP FOR LANSKY!

LANSKY REALIZED HE COULD CREATE A PRIVATE INDEPENDENT NATION FOR THE MOB. THE NEW AMERICAN IMPERIAL ORDER WOULD BECOME LANSKY-BATISTA-AMERICAN INDUSTRY AXIS.

IN 1933, HE APPROACHED LUCKY LUCIANO WITH THE IDEA OF TAKING OVER CUBA. HE WANTED TO SET UP A GAMBLING SYNDICATE IN THE STATE OF CUBA. HE HAD MET WITH  FULGENCIO BATISTA AND KNEW THAT HE COULD BRIBE HIM WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

 BATISTA LIKE LANSKY WERE FROM POOR FAMILIES.  BATISTA WAS A PRODUCT OF THE UNITED FRUIT COMPANY OF CUBA.  BATISTA ATTENDED LANSKY'S WEDDING. BOTH MEN HAD LIMITED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL EDUCATIONS. BOTH MEN WERE SELF-EDUCATION AND HAD LARGE LIBRARIES.


BATISTA UNDERSTOOD THE VAST SCOPE OF AMERICAN MONEY. THE UNITED FRUIT COMPANY HAD CREATED A FINANCIAL EMPIRE FROM BANANAS.  THE NEW WEALTH FROM BANANAS BECAME A POWERCENTER IN CUBA.

 LANSKY WANTED TO AVOID CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS FROM THE AMERICAN NARCOTIC DIVISION AND  PROPOSED A NO DRUG POLICY IN CUBA. HIS OTHER DRUG PROGRAMS WERE USED IN THE FINANCING OF OTHER PROJECTS.

LUCIANO AND LANSKY INVITED MOE DALITZ AND OTHER MOBSTERS TO WALDORF TOWERS IN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK. HE WAS TOLD TO BRING $500,000 FOR INVESTING IN A CASINO. MOE DALITZ HAD RECENTLY TAKEN OVER THE DESERT INN IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

 HE AND OTHER SELECTED MOBSTER WERE THE ORIGINAL INVESTORS OF CUBA. LATER, DALITZ PULLED HIS INVESTMENT OUT OF CUBA BEFORE FIDEL CASTRO'S VICTORY OVER LANSKY.

THE FIRST STEP TO THE TAKEOVER OF CUBA WAS TO GUARANTEE BATISTA $ 5 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. HE WOULD GRANT THEM AN EXCLUSIVE GAMBLING MONOPOLY.

 HE WOULD ALSO BE GIVEN A PERCENTAGE OF THE GAMBLING PROFITS.LANSKY AND BATISTA SET UP A LEGAL STRUCTURE FOR ORGANIZED CRIME IN CUBA. BATISTA LATER LEFT CUBA WITH $100 MILLION CUBAN DOLLARS.

HIS SECOND STEP WAS TO CREATE A LEGAL CORPORATION CALLED THE CUBA NATIONAL. HE COULD SELL POINTS AND SKIM TO MOE DALITZ AND OTHER INVESTORS. HE THEN FORMED A SECOND CORPORATION CALLED THE CUBA HOTEL CORPORATION.

 LANSKY REALIZED THAT HE COULD LATER SELL THE CORPORATION FOR A LARGE PROFIT. HIS THIRD CORPORATION WAS THE RIVIERA HOTEL COMPANY OF CUBA. HE WANTED BATISTA TO PROVIDE FUNDING WITH THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED CUBAN AGENCY CALLED BANDES FOR $6 MILLION.

HIS THIRD STEP WAS TO CREATE AN EMPLOYEE BASE OF GAMBLING TECHNICIANS. HE NEEDED AMERICAN DEALERS, CROUPIERS, PIT BOSSES, SHIFT SUPERVISORS, FLOOR MANAGERS, COUNT ROOM SUPERVISORS, AND SECURITY.

 HE USED HIS OLD GAMBLING CREW MEMBERS FROM LAS VEGAS, CLEVLAND, NEW YORK, AND FLORIDA. THE GAMBLING CREW WOULD ROTATE FROM LAS VEGAS AND HAVANA.

 THE CONSTANT INTERACTION OF THESE TWO POWERFUL MAGNETS CREATED A CONSTANT FLOW OF MONEY. EVENTUALLY, THE NEVADA GAMING COMMISSION DECIDED THAT OWNERS COULD NOT OPERATE IN BOTH GAMBLING CAPITALS.

HIS FOURTH STEP WAS TO BECOME A MEMBER OF BATISTA CABINET. IRONICALLY, LANSKY BECAME A CUBAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL. HE HAD SPECIAL POWERS TO CLOSE BAD CASINOS IN CUBA. LANSKY EXPERIMENTED WITH HIS  FIRST PURCHASE OF THE MONTMARE CLUB.

 LANSKY OWNED THE NATIONAL AND RIVIERA CASINOS. HIS CLOSEST COMPETITOR WAS MAFIA BOSS SANTO TRAFFICANTE WHO OWNED THE COMODORO, DEAUVILLE, AND CAPRI CASINOS.

 LANSKY AS A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL ALLOWED HIM TO EVALUATE HIS COMPETITION. HE WAS ABLE TO STAY ONE STEP AHEAD  OF SANTO TRAFICANTE'S HOTEL COMODORO.

 BATISTA SEIZED POWER FROM PRESIDENT PRIO AND NEEDED TO CLEAN UP THE RAZZLE DAZZLE CUBAN CASINOS. IN 1952, LANSKY WAS IN CHARGE OF CUBAN GAMBLING INDUSTRY.  HE ENFORCED A NO DRUG DEALING POLICY IN THE CASINOS.

HIS FIFTH STEP WAS TO USE BATISTA AS MOBSTER MUSCLE, HE USED BATTISTA'S ARMY,  SECRET POLICE CALLED THE SIM AND NATIONAL POLICE TO CONTROL HAVANA FOR THE MOBSTERS. HE WORKED  WITH POLICE TERRORIST UNIT CALLED THE  LOS TIGRES DE MASFERRER.

LANSKY KNEW HE THAT HE HAD TO SIDESTEP ALBERT ANASTASIA'S MURDER, INC. ALBERT ANASTASIA WAS CHARGING $25,000 PER MURDER AND KILLING OVER 5,000 VICTIMS. HE INFAMOUS DEATH SQUAD USED A SOPHISTICATED TARGETING AND GRUESOME KILLING TECHNIQUES FROM TORTURE, POISONING, KNIFING, GARROTING, AND SHOOTING.

 LANSKY COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR THE RIGHT PRICE AND LOST HIS CUBAN CONNECTION. ALBERT ANTASTIA WANTED A PART OF LANSKY'S SKIM AND POINTS. LANSKY HAD TO FIND A WAY TO GET RID OF ALBERT.

BURTON B. TURKUS RELEASED HIS BLOCKBUSTER BOOK IN 1952 AND REVEALED  MURDER, INC CONSPIRACY.  HE WAS THE BROOKLYN DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO UNCOVERED LANSKY'S ROLE IN MURDER, INC. TURKUS DIED IN 1982 AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHEDDING LIGHT ON LANSKY AND MURDER, INC.

 LANSKY COULD USE THE ARMY TO DEMAND CUBAN UNION COMPLIANCE. HIS ARCH-ENEMY WAS THE ARISTOCRATIC FIDEL CASTRO WHO TURNED INTO A MARXIAN MEXICAN REVOLUTIONARY.

HIS SIXTH STEP WAS TO CONTROL THE NATIVE RICH CUBANS. THE FAMOUS KING OF SUGAR WAS KNOWN AS JULIO LOBO. JULIO LOBO WAS WORTH $200 MILLION OR IN OUR CURRENT TERMS $ 5 BILLION DOLLARS. JULIO LOBO BOUGHT THE MAIN HERSHEY SUGAR MILL IN HERSHEY, CUBA.

 HE SYMBOLIZED THE CONTINUED FINANCIAL DOMINATION OF THE AREA. EARLIER, MILTON HERSHEY MAINTAINED RACIAL AND ECONOMIC SEGREGATION IN HIS UTOPIAN COMMUNITY. JULIO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLOSING THE OLD HERSHEY CAFETERIA. TODAY, HERSHEY CUBA WAS RENAMED CAMILO CIENFUEGOS.

 HIS MAJOR COMPETITORS WERE THE UNITED FRUIT COMPANY AND WEST INDIES SUGAR COMPANY. JULIO LOBO HAD A VERY LARGE ART COLLECTION AND SPECIAL COLLECTION OF NAPOLEON ARTIFACTS.

 CHE WANTED HIM TO BECOME THE MINISTER OF SUGAR. JULIO LOBO WOULD NEVER WORK FOR A COMMUNIST. JULIO FLED WITH FAMILY TO SPAIN.

 HIS INCREDIBLE WEALTH UNDERESTIMATED THE GROWING DISCONTENT WITH THE NEW GANGSTER STATE. THE CUBAN  POOR WERE ON THE VERGE OF REVOLUTION DUE TO INCOME INEQUALITY.

 THE TOP CUBANS HAD BEEN COMPROMISED BY AMERICAN GREED. MOREOVER,  THE AMERICAN CORPORATIONS, INDUSTRY KINGS, FINANCIAL INVESTORS AND HOTEL CHAINS HAD USED BRIBES ON BATISTA.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY HAD WON A NOBLE PRIZE IN LITERATURE FOR HIS OLD MAN AND THE SEA. IN 1957,  HEMINGWAY LIVED IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF HAVANA AND WORKED ON HIS CLASSIC A MOVEABLE FEAST. HEMINGWAYS BOUTS OF DEPRESSION WERE DESTROYING HIS WILL TO LIVE.

SENATOR KENNEDY AND SENATOR SMATTERS WERE OFTEN SEEN AT THE NIGHTCLUB SCENE IN HAVANA. SANTO TRAFFICANTE CLAIMS THAT HE ARRANGED FOR NIGHT PARTIES FOR SENATOR KENNEDY.

THE CUBAN 1% HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT CASTRO COULD OVERTHROW BATISTA. MYER LANSKY CUBAN CASINO INDUSTRY WAS BASED ON THE INEQUALITY OF INCOME FOR THE LOWER CLASSES.

 LANSKY HAD NO INTENTION OF BRINGING ANY SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC REFORM TO CUBA. HIS MODEL FOR REFORM WAS A CASINO SCHOOL FOR 10 CUBANS TO LEARN HOW TO RUN CRAP TABLES.

 THERE WERE NO REAL REFORM PROGRAMS FOR THE POOR. CASTRO USED THE MARXIST IDEOLOGY TO GALVANIZE POPULAR SUPPORT FOR HIS COMMUNIST REFORM PROGRAM.

  THE RICH CUBANS WERE INVOLVED WITH THE CREATION OF THE  LANSKY GAMBLING STATE. THEY DID NOT CARE FOR CASTRO AND MANY LATER LEFT CUBA. MANY OF THE CUBAN MIDDLE CLASS ENDED UP AS AMERICAN WORKING CLASS.

HIS SEVENTH STEP WAS TO USE THE SKIM TO PAYOFF MILITARY, POLICE, POLITICOS AND MOBSTER INVESTORS. HE USED HIS BROTHER JAKE LANSKY TO MANAGE THE CREDIT DEPARTMENT OF HIS CASINOS.

.HE HAD A HIGHLY EFFICIENT CASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO OTHER BANKS IN THE CARIBBEAN BASIN. THIS IS WHERE THE MONEY WENT TO AFTER CASTRO TOOK OVER OF THE ISLAND.

 LANSKY LEARNED THE CUBAN FINANCIAL TWO STEP:

(1) BANKS CREATED FRONT COMPANIES FROM NEWSPAPER COMPANIES, SUGER MILL COMPANIES, RETAIL STORES, GIFT SHOPS, COFFEE EXCHANGES, NIGHTCLUBS, RESTAURANTS, AND BARS;

 (2) THE BANKS WOULD RE-ORGANIZE THEIR ILLEGAL ASSETS BY LIQUIDATING THEIR BANKING COMPANIES AND TRANSFERING THEIR LICENSES TO A NEW TYPE OF TRUST BANK. THE OLD BANK WOULD BE RESURRECTED UNDER A NEW NAME AND STILL  HAVE THE OLD MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE.

HIS EIGHTH STEP WAS TO USE THE ILLEGAL BANKING CORPORATIONS TO FINANCE SHELL COMPANIES. HE LEARNED HOW TO MASTER LARGE AMOUNTS OF CASH WITH THE CUBAN BANKS.

 HE USED HIS SPECIAL LAUNDRYMEN TO CARRY THE CASH TO THE SWISS BANKS. LANSKY INVENTED THE THIRD OLDEST PROFESSION FOR THE CRIMINAL SYNDICATES OF THE WORLD.

 HE INTEGRATED HIS CUBAN BANKING WITH SWISS BANKING. HE OPENED SECRET ACCOUNTS IN SWITZERLAND AND USED SHELL COMPANIES TO HIDE HIS MILLIONS.

 HE USED BANCO NACIONAL DE CUBA TO LEARN HOW TO USE THESE FUNDING MOVES.THEY USED BATISTA NEW BANDES FINANCIAL AGENCY TO FINANCE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ISLAND.

BATISTA CREATED A NEW HOTEL LAW FOR MOB HOTEL EXEMPTIONS.

HIS NINTH STEP WAS TO PROMOTE CUBA TO AMERICAN TOURISTS. HE SPENT  MILLIONS ON AMERICAN PROMOTIONS.

FRANK SINATRA HAD BEEN LINKED TO CUBA SINCE THE 1940'S. HE HOPED TO WORK WITH MEYER LANSKY IN THE CREATION OF ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMS IN HIS CASINO. HIS CASINO WAS GOING TO BE CALLED THE MONTE CARLO HOTEL COMPANY. THE CUBAN FANTASY  MONTE CARLO HOTEL GAVE WAY TO THE LAS VEGAS MONTE CARLO HOTEL AND CASINO.

HE WAS GOING TO BRING MAJOR AMERICAN SUPERSTARS TO CREATE AN ENTERTAINMENT PARADISE.  THE TV INDUSTRY WOULD BE USED TO BROADCAST FROM HIS CASINO.

 THE USE OF FRANK SINATRA WOULD ALLOW HIM TO BROADCAST TO THE UNITED STATES FROM CUBA. THERE IS A FRANK SINATRA ROOM AT THE HOTEL NACIONAL DE CUBA. SINATRA GAINS INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE AND CONTACTS THAT HE USED TO LATER ACQUIRE THE CAL-NEVADA LODGE IN LAKE TAHOE, NEVADA.

LANSKY CREATED A CUBA IS CALLING ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN. HE WORKED WITH THE  U.S INTERNATIONAL HOTELS TO SET UP GAMBLING CONCESSIONS IN THE CARIBBEAN BASIN.

 FIDEL CASTRO WAS LOCKED IN A PRISON AND 1950'S BOOM HIT CUBA.

MEYER LANSKY USED HIS ORIENTAL RACETRACK AND JOCKEY CLUB TO CREATE A MONOPOLY ON HORSE RACING. HE SAW THE FUTURE OF SPORTS BETTING. EARLIER, AL CAPONE HAD  USED A CIGAR SHOP FOR ILLEGAL GAMBLING.

 HE ACQUIRED CONTROL OF THIS 1915 INSTITITUTION IN 1955 AND USED THE JOCKEY CLUB FOR CASINO GAMBLING. HE ATTRACTED THE HORSE RACING CROWD AND GAMBLERS. HE WAS ABLE TO MANIPULATE THE ODDS AND TAKE MILLIONS OUT IN SKIM ON PROFITS.

HIS LAST STEP WAS THE CREATION OF HIS OWN PRIVATE CASINO CALLED THE CUBAN RIVIERIA.

ON DECEMBER 10, 1957 HE HAD HIS DREAM COME TRUE. THIS WAS THE CREATION OF HIS OWN PERSONAL CASINO. LANSKY HAD REACHED THE CUBAN MOUNTAIN TOP AND NOW WANTED ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD. THEY USED MARTIN FOX'S TROPICANA HOTEL FLOOR SHOWS AS THE MODEL FOR LANSKY'S HOTEL.

 HE USED THE CUBAN MUSIC AND DANCERS, THE MULTI-RACIAL ENTERTAINERS, THE SEX WORKERS, AND NEW AIR CONDITIONED HOTEL TO ATTRACT AMERICAN GAMBLERS.

 HE INVESTED ABOUT $ 6 MILLION OF HIS OWN PERSONAL FORTUNE. STEVE ALLEN GAVE A SPECIAL PROMOTION TO THE HOTEL IN HIS TV. SHOW IN THE 1950'S.

 FORTUNATELY, HE MADE $ 16 MILLION DOLLAR PROFITS WHEN CASTRO TOOK OVER THE ISLAND. WE NEED THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE BANK RECORDS FROM 1955-1960 TO THE USA GOVERNMENT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN END THE DEBATE ON THE FLOW OF LANSKY'S  CUBAN MILLIONS.

CASTRO APPOINTED CHE GUEVERA AS THE MINISTER OF FINANCE. LANSKY LEARNED QUICKLY THAT HIS CASINO WAS GOING TO BE DESTROYED.

 HE DIVERSIFIED HIS REMAINING CASH IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND OTHER ISLANDS. HIS BANKING CONTACTS IN BAHAMANIAN BANKS AND URUGUAYAN BANKS HELPED HIM PRACTICE SUCCESSFUL CASH MANAGEMENT.

FINALLY, ON JULY 20, 2015. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA RE-ESTABLISHED ITS EMBASSY IN CUBA. THE USA EMBARGO HAD BEEN BROKEN BY FIDEL CASTRO AND CASTRO NOW WANTS HIS FINAL REVENGE AGAINST MEYER LANSKY.

 HE REMEMBERED THAT IN HIS SIERRA MANIFESTO WHY HE HATED LANSKY. MOREOVER, FRANK STURGIS HAD WORKED TO UNDERMIND THE CASTRO ADMINISTRATION AND LANSKY HAD A MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT ON FIDEL CASTRO. FIDEL CASTRO WAS A MASTER OF THE WAYS OF POLITICAL GANGSTERISM AND HE OUTSMARTED THE TOP AMERICAN GANGSTER MEYER LANSKY.

FIDEL CASTROL BROKE THE BACK OF ORGANIZED CRIME. HE ACCOMPLISHED THE IMPOSSIBLE BY TAKING OVER THE CASINO EMPIRE. ON OCTOBER 1960, FIDEL CASTRO ISSUED HIS PROCLAMINATION CALLED THE GACETA OFICIAL DE LA REPUBLICA DE CUBA AND TOOK OVER 165 U.S. BUSINESSES.

 CASTRO NOW HAD CHANGED CUBAN HISTORY AND CORRECTED THE INJUSTICES OF THE PAST. THE DAYS OF THE AMERICAN MANIFEST DESTINY OF THE 1850'S AND SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR WERE NOW  BEHIND CASTRO'S  CUBA.  CUBANS HAD BEEN THE POLITICAL STEP CHILDREN OF THE AMERICAN POLITICIANS. CASTRO'S REVOLUTION TARGETED THE AMERICAN GANGSTERS AND KICKED THEM OUT OF CUBA.

 MANY OF THE GANGSTERS WENT BROKE FROM SANTO TRAFFICANTE TO JOE STASSI. FIDEL CASTRO HAD SEVERAL OF THE GANGSTERS  FROM TRAFFICANTE, JAKE LANSKY, DINO CELLINI AND JOHN MARTINO HELD AT TRISCORNIA DETENTION CENTER.

 MEYER LANSKY KNEW THAT FIDEL CASTRO HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP IN A TRADITION OF POLITICAL GANGSTERISM IN CUBA.

 LANSKY BELIEVED THAT CASTRO WAS INVOLVED IN THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT  J.F. KENNEDY. JAMES ANGELTON AND  DR. DIEGO TRINIDAD OPERATION DRAGON  HYPOTHESIS  DEVELOPED AN ALTERNATIVE THEORY OF 3 CUBAN DGI OPERATIVES WORKING WITH OSWALD.

 EVIDENTLY THE KGB HAD BEEN INVOLVED WITH CUBAN INTELLIGENCE.  THE NEW DOCTRINE OF SOVIET MANIFEST DESTINY HAD TAKEN OVER CUBAN POLITICS. CUBA HAD ONCE AGAIN BECOME A PUPPET STATE.



 THE MOB HAD LOST A FORTUNE TO CASTRO. LANSKY UNDERSTOOD THE POLITICAL GANGSTERISM OF CASTRO.

TODAY,  CASTRO WANTS THE CUBAN TOURIST INDUSTRY TO BE DRIVEN BY COMMUNIST CHINESE CASINOS. THE GALAXY CASINO OF MACAU WOULD BE A LOGICAL CHOICE FOR CASTRO.

THE 1960'S, BROUGHT  MEYER LANSKY INTO THE BAHAMAS ORBIT. HE MOVED HIS CUBAN OPERATION INTO THE BAHAMAS.  LANSKY NEEDED A  NEW CORPORATE SHELL TO PROVIDE LEGAL COVER FOR HIS CASINO OPERATIONS. LANSKY HAD TO FIND THE PERFECT LEGAL JURISDICTION AND  HE FOUND IT IN THE BAHAMAS. THE BAHAMAS HAD MANY LAS VEGAS FEATURES: (1) NO TAXES; (2) TOURIST ATTRACTION; (3) BANKING SECRECY; (4) ACCESS TO EAST COAST CRIME FAMILIES; (5) THE POTENTIAL  GROWTH MARKET. 

HE HAD USED HIS CUBAN MILLIONS TO FINANCE THE GAMBLING INDUSTRY IN THE BAHAMAS AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.

 HE WAS THE LEADING INVESTOR IN THE BAHAMAS AMUSEMENTS, LTD. THE PERIOD FROM 1960 TO 1968 WAS LANSKY'S LAST CHANCE TO FIND A NEW GAMBLING EMPIRE. 

HE USED THE NEW WALLACE PORT AUTHORITY PROJECT TO LEGALIZE GAMBLING IN THE BAHAMAS. SIR STAFFORD SANDS WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN TOURISM AND GAMBLING.

 LANSKY INVESTED IN THE RICH WHITE ONLY UNITED BAHAMIAN PARTY NICKNAMED THE BAY STREET BOYS. LANSKY WAS A POLITICAL GANGSTER AND PLAYED BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. HE WANTED TO ALWAYS HEDGE HIS BETS AND LATER WOULD CHANGE TO THE ALL BLACK POLITICAL PARTY.

 THE BAY STREET BOYS DID NOT HAVE  AN OFFICIAL POLITICAL PARTY AND MET AT A BAR TO DISCUSS THE FUTURE OF BLACK BAHAMIANS. THEY ONLY DEVELOPED A POLITICAL PARTY AFTER THE RISE OF THE BLACK PROGRESSIVE PARTY. THE LEARNED THE VALUE OF WHITE DOMINATION OF THE MAJORITY OF THE BLACK BAHAMIAN POPULATION. THEY TOOK FOR GRANTED THEIR NATURAL RIGHT TO RULE OVER THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

 SIR ROLAND THEODORE SYNMONETTE RAN BAHAMAS FROM 1925 TO 1967 AND CREATED A FORTUNE WORTH $2.5 BILLION DOLLARS. HE CONTROLLED BAHAMIAN POLITICS FOR 52 YEARS. THE WORLD WAS CHANGING AND LANSKY DECIDED TO GAMBLE ON THE NEW BLACK PROGRESSIVE PARTY. HE WANTED TO INSURE POLITICAL PROTECTION FOR HIS NEW GAMBLING EMPIRE.

 SIR LYNDEN OSCAR PINDLING CHANGED THE FUTURE FOR BLACK BAHAMIANS. PINDLING NEEDED FINANCIAL BACKING FOR HIS PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE.  LANSKY DIVERSIFIED HIS POLITICAL RISK BY INVESTING IN THE ALL BLACK POLITICAL PARTY.  LANSKY USED HIS MOBSTER DOLLARS ON THE NEW BAHAMIAN PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

  LANSKY WANTED TO ENSURE THAT HE WOULD SURVIVE REVOLUTIONARY CHANGING POLITICAL AGENDAS.

IN 1959,  THE  MULTI- MILLIONAIRE HUNTINGTON HARTFORD BOUGHT HOG ISLAND  FROM SWEDISH MILLIONAIRE AXEL WENNER-GREN FOR $13 MILLION DOLLARS. HARTFORD HAD EARLIER BUILT HIS OWN BAHAMIAN SHANGRI-LA ESTATE IN 1939. THIS BECAME THE ONE AND ONLY OCEAN CLUB OF THE BAHAMAS.

 HE  LATER RENAMED IT PARADISE ISLAND, BAHAMAS. HE USED HIS MILLIONS TO DEVELOP THE ISLAND AND LATER HIRED SIR STAFFORD SANDS. SIR STAFFORD SANDS GOAL WAS  TO DEVELOP LEGAL LEGISLATION FOR GAMBLING. SIR STAFFORD SANDS WAS AWARE OF THE ORGANIZED CRIME COMING TO THE BAHAMAS. HE DECIDED TO OPEN THE AREA OF ORGANIZED GAMBLING TO THE BAHAMAS.

THE 700 ACRE PARADISE ISLAND COMPLEX WAS TO COSTLY TO MAINTAIN AND LISTED FOR $32 MILLION WITH JOHNNY MASCHIO OF AL HERD, INC.  LATER SOLD TO MARY PAINTS COMPANY WHICH WAS A PAINT COMPANY.  JIM CROSBY AND JACK DAVIS WERE IN CHARGE OF THE NEW CORPORATION. JIM CROSBY HAD A VISION OF CREATING THE PARADISE ISLAND COMPLEX. HE INVESTED IN THE NEW INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE BRIDGE AND DEVELOPMENT OF PARADISE ISLAND.

THE PAINT DIVISION WAS SOLD TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND THE CORPORATE SHELL WAS RE-NAMED RESORTS INTERNATIONAL. THIS ALLOWED FOR THE ISSUANCE OF STOCKS AND BONDS FOR THE NEW CORPORATION. THE BAHAMAS WAS A SPRINGBOARD TO THE LUCRATIVE NEW JERSEY CASINO MARKET. ATLANTIC CITY WAS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF BRINGING ORGANIZED GAMBLING TO THE EAST COAST.

ACCORDING TO ENNIS GOMES, RESORT INTERNATIONAL WAS SET UP IN 1965 AND RECEIVED LOANS FROM THE BANK OF NOVIA SCOTIA AND FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY. THE BANK OF NOVIA SCOTIA WAS BRITISH INTELLIGENCE FRONT. THE HOTEL SECURITY WAS HANDLED BY BY THE INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE  OR INTERTEL. LANSKY HAD INVESTED IN THE COMPANY AND WANTED TO EXPAND HIS OPERATIONS INTO DEVELOPING HIS OWN PRIVATE CASINO.

 RESORT INTERNATIONAL ESTABLISHED INTERTEL TO PROVIDE GAMING SECURITY FOR THE VARIOUS HOLDINGS IN THE BAHAMAS AND NEW JERSEY. THE PRIVATE INTELLIGENCE DIVISION WAS FOUNDED BY ROBERT PELOQUIN AND WILLIAM HUNDLEY. THEY HAD BEEN EMPLOYEES OF THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND RAN 1965 OPERATION TRADEWINDS.

 THEY QUIT THEIR FEDERAL JOBS FOR HIGHER PAYING PRIVATE INDUSTRY JOBS. 

IN 1967, THEY HAD FORMED PELOQUIN AND HUNDLEY LAW FIRM AND NOW WERE IN CHARGE OF INTERTEL. THEY DECIDED TO HIRE ALL THE FORMER FEDERAL EMPLOYEES OF OPERATION TRADEWINDS AT HIGHER PRIVATE SALARIES. THEY TOOK THE MOST TALENTED INDIVIDUALS TO WORK FOR RESORTS INTERNATIONAL 

THE INTERTEL BECAME KNOWN FOR HIS ABILITY TO HIRE THE TOP FBI, CIA, KGB AND OTHER INTELLIGENT ANALYSTS. THEIR JOB WAS TO PROTECT AND DEFEND RESORTS INTERNATIONAL. THE FORMER ROBERT KENNEDY TOP LAW ENFORCEMENT TEAM WAS BOUGHT OUT BY HOWARD HUGHES AND NOW THEY WORKED IN THE SHADOWS OF AMERICAN JUSTICE. HUGHES WANTED A NEW BASE OF OPERATION IN THE BAHAMAS.

HOWARD HUGHES WANTED TO BUY OUT THE RESORT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND ESTABLISH HIS OWN KINGDOM IN THE BAHAMAS. HE WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH CRIMINALS LOOTING HIS LAS VEGAS CASINOS AND ASKED FOR INTERTEL TO PROVIDE FOR HIS EXIT FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA. THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRING HUGHES TO THE GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND. 

 IN 1972, HOWARD HUGHES HAD BOUGHT THE 18 ACRE XANADU BEACH RESORT AND MARINA IN FREEPORT, THE GRAND BAHAMAS. THIS WAS FORMERLY A PRIVATE CONDO CLUB THAT WAS TURNED INTO A RESORT AND MARINA. HE WAS BROUGHT TO PENTHOUSE C AND STAYED THEIR UNTIL HIS DEATH ON FEB. 10, 1976. 

 ULTIMATELY, HUGHES PLAN WAS TO CONTROL LAS VEGAS CASINOS FROM THE BAHAMAS.  HE WANTED TO ACQUIRE CONTROL OF RESORTS INTERNATIONAL.

RESORT INTERNATIONAL WANTED TO DO A POWER PLAY OVER HOWARD HUGHES'S LAS VEGAS CASINOS. LANSKY HOPED TO HAVE THE LAST LAUGH BY TAKING BACK HIS LAS VEGAS CASINOS. 

THE RESORT INTERNATIONAL CHAIRMAN JIM CROSBY CONTROLLED 78% OF THE STOCK OF RESORTS INTERNATIONAL.  AFTER CROSBY DEATH IN 1986, MARIANNE BRANDSTELLERS INHERITED HIS STOCK. JIM CROSBY SET UP A TRUST WITH STIPULATIONS THAT GAVE HER LIMITED CONTROL OF THE STOCK.

 RESORTS INTERNATIONAL  EXPANDED INTO THE NEW JERSEY DEAD ZONE. RESORT INTERNATIONAL INVESTED HEAVILY INTO THE HALF COMPLETED WHITE ELEPHANT TAJ MAHL. CROSBY STARTED CONSTRUCTION OF TAJ MAHL IN 1983 WITH A BUDGE OF $250 MILLION DOLLARS. HE WANTED TO CHANGE THE NAME TO UNITED STATES HOTEL.

 AFTER HIS DEATH, THE TAJ MAHL PROJECT WAS INCOMPLETE AND ENED UP IN DEBT FOR OVER $930 MILLION.

THE  TAJ MAHL  ESTABLISHED MASSIVE DEBT AND ENDED UP GOING BANKRUPT. LATER DONALD TRUMP BOUGHT INTO THE INCOMPLETE TAJ MAHL AND SOLD OFF STOCK TO MERV GRIFFIN 1N 1988. DONALD TRUMP OPENED UP THE TAJ MAHAL IN APRIL 2, 1990 AND IT WAS A SUCCESS.

 HE COULD ONLY OWN THREE HOTEL AND WANTED TO TURN THE ORGINAL RESORTS HOTEL IN NEW JERSEY  INTO AN ANNEX OF THE TAJ MAHL. THE TAJ MAHL WENT BANKRUPT IN 2016.

RESORTS INTERNATIONAL OFFICIALLY WENT BANKRUPT IN 1989. THE COMPANY HAD TO RE-STRUCTURE ITS ASSETS AND SOLD OFF NUMEROUS PROPERTIES.

 IN 1994, RESORTS INTERNATIONAL ISLAND SOLD THE PARADISE ISLAND COMPLEX TO THE ATLANTIS INVESTOR SOL KERZNER. PARADISE ISLAND IS NOW WORTH $ 2 BILLION DOLLARS.

 LANSKY WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DINO CELLINI OF STEUBENVILLE CIGAR FAME TO CREATE A VIP JUNKET SERVICE FOR BAHAMIAN CASINOS. LANSKY WAS INVOLVED WITH WALLACE GROVES FREEPORT DEVELOPMENTS AND SIR STAFFORD SANDS THE FINANCE MINISTER OF THE BAHAMAS.

 WALLACE GROVE LATER RE-SURFACED AT DALITZ'S LAS COSTA HOTEL AND SPA IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.

.SIR STAFFORD SANDS WORKED WITH THE ALL WHITE UNITED BAHAMIAN PARTY. SANDS WAS THE SHADOW BANKER OF THESE NEW GAMBLING ENTERPRISES. LATER,  SIR STAFFORD SANDS OPERATED A BAHAMIAN BANK AND LATER  RETIRED TO SPAIN.

LANSKY USED THE LUCAYAN BEACH HOTEL SPECIAL MONTE CARLO ROOM FOR VIP JUNKET PROFITS. THIS LATER BECAME THE CHINESE JUNKET MODEL FOR MACAU IN CHINA. LANSKY'S HUNTING FOR WHALES BECAME THE MODEL FOR LAS VEGAS JUNKETS AND SPECIAL VIP ROOMS. 

MEYER LANSKY LEARNED HIS LESSONS FROM THE" BIG BANK ROLL" ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN OF SPREAD OUT THE GAMBLING RISK FROM ENGLAND TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. 

LANKY MOVED HIS  MONEY INTO SEVERAL BRITISH CASINOS.  HE OPENED UP THE COLONY SPORTS CLUB IN LONDON, ENGLAND. IN 1973,  VINCENT TERESA LINKED HIM TO RECEIVING PAYOFFS FROM THE ENGLISH CASINO. HE HAD WORKED WITH GEORGE RAFT AND OTHER FRONT MEN IN LONDON, ENGLAND.

LANSKY USED HIS CUBAN MILLIONS TO MOVE INTO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. HE HELPED SET UP ONE OF THE CURRENT 34 CASINOS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THE POLITICAL SITUATION COLLAPSED AFTER THE DEATH OF TRUJILLO.

HE USED VARIATIONS FROM HIS CUBAN AND BAHAMIAN OPERATIONS TO CONTROL GAMBLING IN THE ISLANDS.THE ISLANDS BECAME CENTER TO MASSIVE EXPLOSION OF THE NEW YORK CASH. LANSKY USED ROBERT VESCO'S IOS TO EXPLOIT MUTAL FUND LOOPHOLES TO BUY STOCKS.

 MEYER LANSKY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR HIS FAILURE IN CUBA IN THE 1970'S. IN 1970 G. ROBERT BLAKELY DESIGNED THE ' THE RICO ACT"  TITLE IX ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROL ACT. THIS ALLOWED THE FBI TO TEAR AWAY THE ORGANIZED CRIME ONION IN NEW YORK CITY.  THE FIVE NEW YORK CRIME FAMILIES WERE HIT BY THIS NEW LAW.

LANSKY HAD HIS $300 MILLION ON DEPOSIT WITH DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM'S FAMOUS BANQUE DE CREDIT INTERNATIONALE IN GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. LANSKY CAME TO THE LAUNDRY GAME LATE. HE STARTED OUT WITH BANK OF PERRINE IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. 

HE USED THIS BANK BECAUSE IT HAD A CORRESPONDENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CASTLE BANK OF THE BAHAMAS. YOU WOULD DEPOSIT YOUR MONEY IN THE PERRINE BANK AND IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BE CREATED IN THE BAHAMIAN CASTLE BANK. 

LANSKY AND HIS ASSOCIATES WERE AMAZED ON THE NEW BANKING REVOLUTION THAT HIT THE BAHAMAS. THE IDEA WAS TO AVOID PAYING TAXES BY USING BANKING MAGIC. THEY FALSELY BELIEVED THAT THERE MONEY WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM THE IRS. 

JOHN PULLMAN INTRODUCED LANSKY TO THE MYSTERIOUS DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM. ROSENBAUM WAS MOST LIKELY A MOSSAD LEGEND WHO USED HIS FAKE BACKGROUND. JOHN PULLMAN WAS RECEIVING A COMMISSION OF 1% FOR ALL FUNDS DEPOSITED INTO HIS BANK. 

THE INTERNATIONAL BANK OF SWITZERLAND HAD ON DEPOSIT ABOUT $60 MILLION AND ONLY $6.5 MILLION IN RESERVE. LANSKY WAS SURPRISED BY THE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVENESS OF SWISS BANKS. HE WOULD RECEIVE A NUMBERED ACCOUNT AND HAVE PRIVACY. 

 LANSKY HAD NO IDEA ON HOW THE RECKLESS DECISIONS LED TO A FAKE BANKRUPTCY. THE MOSSAD HAD PLAYED WITH A FAKE PORTFOLIO AND TOOK MOST OF THE MONEY. TIBOR CLAIMED HALF OF LOAN PORTFOLIO  WAS LOST IN A $30 MILLION ITALIAN LAND DEVELOPMENT SCHEME.

  DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM MYSTERIOUS RISE TO POWER LED TO HIS MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN 1980. HE INVESTED HEAVILY IN GERMAN REAL ESTATE AND ESPECIALLY IN  THE FRANKFURT,  GERMANY CENTRAL STATION DISTRICT. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET COLLAPSED AND CAUSED MASSIVE FINANCIAL LOSSES.

 DR. ROSENBAUM  RAN FINANCING FROM DRUG DEALS, REAL ESTATE SPECULATIONS, LANSKY'S ILLEGAL FORTUNE, PORNOGRAPHY, PROSTITITUION,  ISRAELI DIAMONDS, AND ARMS BUSINESS. THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN PROTECTING ISRAEL SECRET OPERATION IN DIMONA.

  THE BANK WAS USED TO CONTINUE  TO FINANCE OPERATIONS IN THE SAMSON OPTION. THE US FOREIGN POLICY WAS TO ALLOW ISRAEL TO KEEP ITS 400 NUCLEAR WARHEADS IN EXCHANGE FOR SECRECY.

 IRONICALLY, IN 1967 LIFE MAGAZINE RAN A SPECIAL EXPOSE ON THE BANK SHOWING SUITCASES OF CASH BEING DEPOSITED IN THE BANK. PULLMAN WORLD COMMERCE BANK OF THE BAHAMAS WAS THE WATERLOO FOR LANSKY.

 MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WERE SHOCKED BY THE BRAZEN TACTICS OF DR. ROSENBAUM. HE WAS INVOLVED WITH THE GERMAN SAVINGS BANK HELABA AND COLLAPSE OF REAL ESTATE IN GERMANY.

EVENTUALLY,  DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM INTERNATIONAL CREDIT  BANK WENT BANKRUPT IN 1974.  THERE WAS NO BANKING INSURANCE ON THE DEPOSITS IN THE BANK.  SOME INSIDERS SPECULATE THAT DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM NEVER REALLY EXISTED. DR. TIBOR MAY HAVE BEEN A MOSSAD LEGEND.

LATER, LANSKY WAS TOLD  BY INTELLIGENCE INSIDERS THAT THE INTERNATIONAL CREDIT BANK OF GENEVA AND CASTLE BANK AND TRUST OF THE BAHAMAS WERE FRONTS FOR THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.

 LANSKY HAS BEEN PLAYED BY THE CIA AND MOSSAD INTELLIGENCE SERVICE. HE WAS DUPED OUT OF HIS $300 MILLION BY THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST OF THE CIA AND MOSSAD. THE SPECULATION IS THAT EITHER LANSKY LOST HIS FORTUNE TO BANK FAILURE OR IT WAS GIVEN A NEW HOME.

ISREAL WAS THE FINANCIAL FINISHING LINE AND EXIT STRATEGY FOR LANSKY. HE KNEW THAT ISREAL HAD BECOME A LAS VEGAS AND WILD WEST OF BANKING. ISRAEL HAD VERY LIBERAL RULES FOR INTERNATIONAL BANKING.

 LANSKY FIGURED THAT HIS MONEY WAS IN ISREAL AND WANTED TO BECOME A CITIZEN OF ISRAEL. HE WANTED TO CUT A DEAL WITH THE MOSSAD. LANSKY WAS BEING PLAYED BY THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY. THEY COULD NEVER REVEAL THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD HONORED A SPECIAL NUCLEAR DEAL WITH ISRAEL. THE F.B.I.  WANTED TO PUNISH LANSKY. 

LANSKY WAS A SMALL FISH IN THE WORLD OF NUCLEAR SECRETS. LANSKY'S LIFE WAS IRRELEVANT TO THE FUTURE OF ISREAL

 THE ISREALI GOVERNMENT REFUSED THE AMNESTY DEAL. LANSKY RETURNED TO FLORIDA TO FACE THE MUSIC.   THE LANSKY FORTUNE  MAY STILL BE  IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING. 

 THE FBI HAD FINALLY PUT MOST OF THE FINANCIAL PUZZLE PIECES TOGETHER AND HUNTED HIM DOWN UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1983. LANSKY HID THE FACT THAT HE HAD HIS MONEY STOLEN BY MOSSAD SWISS BANK. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE HIS MAJOR BIOGRAPHERS THAT OVER 50 YEARS HE SAVED $1,140.00 A YEAR FOR A TOTAL OF $57,000.00.

BY 1976, MEYER LANSKY HAD BECOME THE MOST WANTED MAN IN AMERICA. HE SYMBOLIZED THE EVIL AND CORRUPTION OF THE MAFIA. HE WAS VILIFIED IN THE FILM GODFATHER TWO AS HYMAN ROTH AND HUNTED BY THE F.B.I. HE WAS HATED BY THE CIA FOR THE MOB'S FAILURE TO KILL FIDEL CASTRO. LANSKY ENTIRE LIFE WAS REPRESENTED BY HIS FAILURE IN CUBA.

 MEYER LANSKY LAST DAYS REPRESENTED THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE EAST COAST MOB. THE F.B.I. FINALLY HAD THE LEGAL TOOL TO TAKE DOWN THE MOB WITH THE RICO FEDERAL LAW.

THE EAST COAST MOB TRIED TO FLOAT ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY AS THE FUTURE LAS VEGAS. ATLANTIC CITY FAILURE BECAME SYMBOLIC OF THE COLLAPSE OF THE EAST COAST MOB. THE HBO SERIES SOPRANOS BECAME AN EXISTENTIAL FARCE OF WAITING FOR GODOT IN NEW JERSEY.

 WHEREAS, CITIZEN DALITZ WAS VOTED MAN OF THE YEAR IN 1976. CITIZEN DALITZ REPRESENTED THE OPTIMISM OF THE WEST. CITIZEN DALITZ WAS UNKNOWN TO MOST AMERICANS AND CONSIDERED A LAS VEGAS COMMUNITY LEADER. CITIZEN DALITZ CONTINUED MAKING MILLIONS WHILE LANSKY WAS COLLECTING GREEN STAMPS.

 LANSKY HAD BECOME " THE  PATSY " OR THE "FOX"  AND CITIZEN DALITZ WAS THE ULTIMATE WINNER OF LAS VEGAS. LANSKY'S  FINAL WILL LEFT $57,000.00 AND DALITZ' WILL LEFT $100,000,000.00!  CITIZEN DALITZ LEFT OVER $1 MILLION TO MAJOR LAS VEGAS CHARITIES.

LAS VEGAS CREATED SUPERSTARS AND CITIZEN DALITZ WAS THE NEW SUPERNOVA.

 CITIZEN DALITZ TAUGHT THE MASTER NEW TRICKS OF SURVIVAL.

 THE NEW FBI  LAW ENFORCEMENT ENTERPRISE MODEL WAS THE ONLY REALISTIC MODEL TO UNDERSTAND THE MULTI-ETHNIC ORIGINS OF LAS VEGAS UNDERWORLD.

 IN 1954, LAS VEGAS HAD OVER 8 MILLION VISITORS WITH REVENUES AT ABOUT $200 MILLION DOLLARS.  THIS WAS THE LAS VEGAS LUCKY STRIKE.

MYER LANSKY FAILURE IN THE WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING LED MANY TO QUESTION HIS ABILITY. LAS VEGAS WAS ACTUALLY DEVELOPED FROM $450 MILLION DOLLARS OF TEAMSTER MONEY. MEYER LANSKY MISSED THE MAIN ATTRACTION: HOFFA'S PENSION FUNDS.

 IN 1946, HE  DEVELOPED A PAPER ROUTE STARTING FROM URUGUAY BANKS, DOMINICAN BANKS, CUBAN BANKS,  SWISS BANKS AND BAHAMAS BANKS. ALL OF THE MONEY ENDED UP IN DR. TIBOR ROSENBAUM'S INTERNATIONAL CREDIT BANK OF GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. THE BANK COLLAPSED IN 1974.

 LANSKY ENDED  UP TAKING VARIOUS FINDER FEES, POINTS AND PAYOFFS TO LIVE AFTER HIS MAJOR LOSS FROM CUBA AND SWISS BANKS.

IRONICALLY,  ATLANTIC CITY NEVER HAD A CHANCE AGAINST LAS VEGAS- LAS VEGAS HAD TEAMSTER CASH!  LAS VEGAS WAS THE ONE AND ONLY GAMBLING CAPITAL IN THE UNITED STATES.

  THERE WAS VERY FEW RULES AND REGULATIONS IN THE CASINO BUSINESS. LAS VEGAS BECAME AN OPEN CITY FOR THE MOB.  THEY USED THE
CASINOS TO SKIM AND SELL OWNERSHIP POINTS IN THE CASINOS.  LAS VEGAS CASINOS BECAME THE SHADOW BANKS OF THE 1950'S.

THE SAHARA WAS STARTED WITH OREGON  RACEWIRE MONEY, DESERT INN, STARDUST AND SHOWBOAT OWNED BY DALITZ, THE RIVIERA WAS OWNED BY THE CHICAGO OUTFIT, PATRICIA CRIME FAMILY OWNED DUNES AND ROYAL NEVADA,

LOAN SHARKING MONEY DEVELOPED THE FREMONT, TROPICANA OWNED BY FRANK COSTELLO AND CARLOS MARCELLO,  THE SAME PATTERN OF OWNERSHIP EMERGED IN THE STREET AND DOWNTOWN VEGAS.

 THE MOB DISCOVERED THAT THE CASINOS WERE A PROXY STOCK MARKET WHERE YOU COULD SELL SHARES INTO THEIR OPERATIONS.  YOU WOULD RECEIVE A RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT BY INVESTING WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY BROKER FEES.

 THE DAY TO DAY CUSTOMERS HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE FABULOUS PROFITS OF 1% OF LAS VEGAS UNDERWORLD ELITE  AND WERE HAPPY WITH SILVER DOLLAR SMALL JACKPOTS.

 THE LAS VEGAS VACATION WAS SEEN AS A SAFE AND SECURE
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AMERICAN SUBURBAN FAMILY. THE AVERAGE AMERICAN FAMILY  WAS LOOKING FOR THEIR CHEESE IN THE CASINO MOUSETRAP.

 MANY BELIEVED THE  CASINO BLACKJACK CARD COUNTING PROPAGANDA AND TRIED TO COUNT THE CARDS FOR A FORTUNE. THIS BLACKJACK FANTASY OF INSTANT WEALTH WAS SOLD TO THE CONSUMERS.

 THE LEVEL OF CONSUMER IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY AMAZED THE LOW I.Q. MOBSTERS.  THEY WERE BRILLIANT  IN LAS VEGAS AND EXPLOITED THE CASINO ORGANIZATIONAL ADVANTAGE OVER THEIR CUSTOMERS.

 THE MOBSTERS WERE BAD BOYS WITH GUTS BUT THEY WANTED TO BE RESPECTABLE NEVADA CITIZENS.

 YOU WOULD RECEIVE SPECIAL TREATMENT FROM FREE ROOMS, FREE FOOD, FREE ENTERTAINMENT AND MONTHLY CASH DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME. THIS NEW INVESTMENT PLAN ALLOWED FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ILLEGAL CASH TO BE INVESTED IN LAS VEGAS.

  THE VARIOUS ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILIES NEED TO EXPAND INTO THE LEGAL GAMBLING INDUSTRY. MOST AMERICANS WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ROLE OF ORGANIZED CRIME IN EACH ONE OF THE CASINOS.

CITIZEN DALITZ WAS SHOCKED BY THE IGNORANCE OF SENATOR KEFAUVER HEARINGS. CITIZEN DALITZ WAS KEENLY AWARE THAT THE CASINO KNOWLEDGE GAP THAT WAS LIKE THE GRAND CANYON OF GAMBLING. CITIZEN DALITZ FACED SENATOR KEFAUVER AS AN HONEST CITIZEN OF NEVADA.

 SENATOR KEFAUVER WAS STILL INTERESTED IN THE OLD PROHIBITION CAPITALISM. SENATOR KEFAUVER HAD NO IDEA ON HOW THE NEW GAMBLING CAPITALISM WORKED AND KEFAUVER WAS TOTALLY ILLITERATE ON HOW A CASINO OPERATED IN LAS VEGAS.

KEFAUVER DID GET ONE THING RIGHT: LAS VEGAS WAS NOW THE UNOFFICIAL CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES. THE LAS VEGAS CONVERGENCE OF GOVERNMENT, GANGSTER AND GAMBLERS TRIAD WAS COMPLETED IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

 HE MISSED THE MAIN ATTRACTION OF LAS VEGAS: POINTS AND SKIM.  EACH CASINO IN THE 1950'S HAD AN ORGANIZED CRIME FAMILY SPONSOR ITS OPERATIONS.  THE USE OF POINTS AND PERCENTAGE WERE COPIED FROM THE FLAMINGO AND OTHER MYER LANSKY HOTELS. LANSKY HAD DEVELOPED A HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED LAUNDRY SYSTEM FOR HIS CASINOS.

 THE CASINOS FOUND FUNDING FROM FIVE SOURCES: (1) ORGANIZED CRIME CAPITAL OF $22 BILLION  FROM PROHIBITION; (2) THE BANK OF LAS VEGAS; (3) ILLEGAL MEXICAN  DRUG PROFITS; (4) TEAMSTER PENSION FUNDS; (5) MYER LANSKY'S MIAMI AND  CUBAN LAUNDRY WASHING MACHINE AND FRENCH CONNECTION.
