I mean, I dare say the answer has already been presented.

But what seems clear, though, is that, like, the reason you have been spending so much of your life looking into this is because what is not in dispute is that modern Las Vegas, as it stands today...

the new home of an NBA franchise, as well as an NFL franchise and an NHL franchise and a Major League Baseball franchise and the college basketball tournament, March of Madness in a couple of years.

All of that was built on the body in the trunk of that Rolls Royce.

And this is obviously horrific for Vic Weiss's own family to contemplate.

But that dude does deserve some amount of credit for this strange and very mobbed up chapter of sports history in America.

Yeah, he took two bullets, you know, for this to happen.

God.

Yeah.

I mean, this is the turning point.

You know, this is the legitimization of Vegas after this.

You know, Tark staying there and, you know, the running rebels, you know, rising in national prominence.

What's interesting, as I realize now at the very end here, is that I've been obsessed myself with investigating gambling scandals and organized crime and corruption.

And meanwhile, the place American sports is turning to next, Las Vegas, I cannot think about without thinking of Tony Spolatro now and Joe Pesci and the trunk of that Rolls Royce.

And I have you, Sean, to thank for it.

But just to say that that story not done, but this episode finally finished.

It is done.

It is done.

Thank you.
