Wednesday
This
afternoon, I pre-recorded two ½-hour podcasts for Gary Jenkins’ Gangland Wire, for
broadcast two or three weeks from now. Gary is a former long-time Kansas City
PD Intelligence Unit detective. In one case his Intel Unit joined forces with
the FBI, and it led to the conviction of Mafia leaders in Chicago, Cleveland,
Milwaukee and KC, who had hidden interests in Las Vegas Strip gambling resorts
(see GanglandWire.com).
Gary
and I discussed "30 Illegal Years To The Strip". His Chicago subscribers
requested we discuss the career of Al Capone, which we did for part two. For
part one, we talked about the careers of the two bosses who preceded Capone and
laid the groundwork for him, “Big Jim” Colosimo and John Torrio, who was even
more murderous than Capone.
