I was one of the speakers and this thing was great. I was unsure and only went because Denny Griffin asked me to speak. I was impressed with the quality of ex-mob guys and agents. Plus, every speaker made themselves available to meet and talk with attendees. I am going back, but I cannot go back for a couple of years as a speaker. My deal is that I worked on the Kansas City mob in the 1970s during the Skimming investigation known as Strawman. I obtained all the audio put in as evidence and used it in a documentary film.
Wish I could have gone. Would have been great to have met you. I'm writing a little something on Operation Strawman, but mostly the Chicago side of things. I have a lot of info on the early Kansas City mob for another project so am pretty familiar with that aspect too. Any chance someone recorded the presentations for posting on YouTube or some other site?
