Milwaukee Phil Alderisio. I'm reading American Mafioso, the Johnny Roselli book, right now. When the middle men in the Vegas skim became a pain in the ass, Milwaukee Phil was the one they sent out to remind them that they don't give out pink slips.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
