“ Do as I say, not as I do!” Was Benny’s attitude.

In the summer of 1972, Attorney Bill Coulthard went to start his car in the multi-level garage of the building his office was located in, and the ensuing blast that was rigged to his ignition, killed him. As it turned out, Coulthard was the mouthpiece for the Silvagni family, whose long deceased patriarch, had built the Apache Hotel and Casino in 1932. The family owned the land that Binion's property sat on, and were in the process of negotiating a new lease, as the old one was about to expire. Unfortunately the mouthpiece (Coulthard) 'expired' before the lease. I guess Benny didn't like the impending increase.
