And you'll hear, in fact, a familiar name emerging again.

Who was Vic Weiss supposedly working with in Vegas when it came to this sort of a scheme?

Yeah, I mean, all the bookmaking was running out of the hotels, you know, like the Stardust.

And remember earlier when George Tarkanian mentioned being in school with the nephew of Anthony Spolatro?

Spolatro, you know, he was intertwined with the Stardust.

I spoke to a journalist named Dan Moldea who wrote about all this.

He's an old school crime reporter.

He's got a substack mobologist.

He's an expert on the mafia, Jimmy Hoffa, the Bobby Kennedy assassination.

He wrote a book called Interference about the NFL and his mob connections where he covered the Vic Weiss murder.

The allegation was that Weiss was skimming.

He was being sent with money from the layoff bookmakers in Los Angeles to Vegas.

And ostensibly, the manager of the Stardust was Lefty Rosenthal, the Robert De Niro character in Casino.

And Tony Spolaccio was his enforcer.

Of course, played by Joe Pesci.

So just to recap here, Moldea, the mobologist, believes that Tony Spolatro, Joe Pesci and Casino, put a hit on Vic Weiss because Vic Weiss was skimming money.

Yes.

He was skimming, he got caught, he got whacked.

To me, whenever there was a big murder, especially a brutal murder like this, where a guy is hogtied and is shot twice in the back of the head and found in a truck of his car at the Sheridan Universal, that sounds like a Tony Spolatro hit.

Which also brings up this other thing that happened that was insane to Carol Rosenblum, the owner of the Rams, which was that Carol Rosenblum, just two months before Vic Weiss died in that brutal fashion, died suspiciously in a drowning.
