Why did, allegedly, Jerry Cutter set up Vic Weiss?

Well, you remember those alleged ties to the St.

Louis outfit?

Yes.

According to our mobologist, Dan Moldea, you know, Cutter has, you know, family relations that tie back to St.

Louis and bookmaking.

His cousin served time for illegal gambling, and his uncle was a one-time manager of the Stardust.

And, of course, if that is true, then Gerald Cutter, through his family, to the Stardust, ends up being connected,

to Tony Spolatro.

Exactly.

Yeah, and that FBI investigation, which we talked about before with the NFL and the gambling scheme and Carol Rosenblum, it is worth pointing out that this also connects to this part of the story and to Tony Spolatro because Gerald Cutter apparently also emerges in connection to that.

Yeah, this is from Dan Moldea's book.

Like Weiss, Cutter had also been mentioned in the 1979 FBI internal report.

One car dealer in Las Vegas, Nevada, last name possibly Cutter, is also allegedly involved in this scheme.

Cutter had a life insurance policy on Weiss's life and also held the mortgage on his house, the FBI report stated.

Which feels like a relevant detail.

That in fact, Jerry Cutter, car dealership magnate and guy who was backing Vic Weiss' performance of being a guy who matters, he also stood to profit, literally, from his death.

Yeah, I mean, and I think it also shows he answered to somebody else.

Right.

This gets us to, I think...
