I have a few mentions in files that he was friendly with Santo Trafficante Jr., when Santo was living primarily in Miami (1960s).



Thanks ScottD. It looks like he did some time for refusing to testify before the Senate Crime Investigating Committee, which was looking into illegal gambling. Found some other interesting stuff, such as flying a guy out from San Francisco to blow up his printing presses with dynamite. Still digging.....
