Allen Dorfman: The Mafia's Banker (Mafia´s Greatest Hits)

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

[@RobertojavierSilvaharth-ub3pz]

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.

[@user-dv3do1od2r]

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.
