Dalitz very well could have had over $110 million according to the Feds, much of it legitimate money.
I know that the Midwest is in your wheelhouse, Oscar. But I know a thing or two about Dalitz through a (now deceased) old time Westsider who had interests in Vegas and knew Dalitz quite well. And you better believe he had
AT LEAST 110 million when he died, most of it washed clean through shrewd business moves. He was a
BRILLIANT man.
The funny thing PB is that everybody thought he was a gangster his entire life...and he certainly was for a period of time like many during the bootlegging days...but he was so fucking brilliant, he did what Michael Corleone couldn't do...he went legitimate. Don't forget about his right and left hands, Morris Kleinman and Sam Tucker. Tucker, Dalitz and Kleinman had all the illegal gambling at the Beverly Hills Club. His backing in Cleveland was brutal, all led by Tony & Frank Milano. In the midwest, the Calabrians did alot of business with the Jewish rackets figures and they all had a wonderful working relationship...it was about one thing...$$$
