Lefty would never get a gaming license as he was not squeaky clean. I wish the movie had dived more into the senator and the gaming commission.
The Gaming Board in 1988 phut Rosenthal in the "Black Book," a list of people who could be barred from even entering a casino, much less owning, operaating or having a license for a "key" job in a casino.
The Board cited: "His 1963 felony conviction for conspiring to bribe a New York University basketball plalyer; his notorious and unsavory reputation in regard to gaming; his criminal associations, especially with Spilotro;his exclusion from Florida racetracks; and references to his activities in th Chicago Crime Commission and federal congsressional reports."
