does anyone have any info on any family operations outside of chicago? ive heard that they have taken over some of the remaining rackets in milwaukee, and that they might still have some low level bookmaking/loansharking operations left in vegas but anywhere else? anything in south florida?
I don't believe the Outfit has any crews elsewhere, if that's what you mean. You read about it having operations in south Florida but, except for maybe some guys going down there to retire, I've never seen any examples. But there are cases that pop up here and there...
Back in 2000 there as an Outfit-connected jewelry theft ring that pulled of scores in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, Arizona, and California.
In 2003 there was the Crazy Horse Too strip club raid in Las Vegas.
In 2005 an Outfit-connected lawyer was reported to be an investor in a tribal casino boat off the coast of Mexico.
In 2006 there was that bookmaking bust in Rockford.
And, of course, we've always heard about Outfit associate, Michael Posner, and his hotel-casinos down in Aruba. But my understanding it they're relatively small. Not like Caesars Palace or the Mirage.
