Mafia's Greatest Hits: Allen Dorfman, the Mafia's Banker
Allen Dorfman, a man with no formal financial training, became the central figure in a massive, illicit operation that funneled millions of dollars from the Teamsters' pension fund into the hands of organized crime. Operating as the mob's banker, Dorfman leveraged his influence to finance major Las Vegas casinos, while the FBI launched a complex, years-long electronic surveillance campaign to dismantle his network. This high-stakes game of cat and mouse, involving wiretaps, secret microphones, and a web of corruption, ultimately exposed the deep ties between the mob and the labor movement, leading to a dramatic legal showdown that shook the foundations of both worlds.
