:09:01
And that's where you had to go if you
wanted to borrow money to buy a casino.
:09:04
- Would you put in shrimp?
- I would.
:09:06
Here you are, gentlemen.
:09:07
Nobody got a Teamsters' loan
unless the guys in this room...
:09:10
knew they were gonna get
their little suitcases.
:09:14
Guys like this antique over here,
out of Detroit.
:09:19
Or especially guys like Remo Gaggi,
the outfit's top boss.
:09:22
You got a round figure on it?
:09:24
- Definitely the most
important guy in this room. - About 20 pounds.
:09:27
- That's around 700,000.
- Uh-huh, good.
:09:30
I know it's
a little early for Las Vegas...
:09:34
but I do want to welcome the ladies
and gentlemen of the gaming industry.
:09:38
As far as the world
was concerned...
:09:40
Andy Stone, the head of
the Teamsters' Pension Fund...
:09:42
- was a legitimate guy.
- This is a very auspicious occasion.
:09:45
- A powerful man.
- Philip, if you would rise.
:09:47
He even played golf
with the president.
:09:49
On behalf of the Teamsters'
Pension Fund...
:09:52
- it is my pleasure to present to you...
- But Andy also took orders.
:09:54
And when he was told to give
a pension fund loan to Philip Green...
:09:58
this check for $62,700,000...
:10:01
for the new Tangiers.
:10:03
he did what he was told.
:10:05
Now, here was
the perfect front man.
:10:07
What the fuck else could he be?
He didn't know too much.
:10:09
He didn't want to know
too much...
:10:11
especially that the bosses made
the Teamsters lend him the money.
:10:14
He wanted to believe
the Teamsters...
:10:16
gave him all that fuckin' money
'cause he was smart.
:10:18
I know full well how much competition
we have in this great city.
:10:25
And where they got Green from?
:10:27
Who the fuck knows?
:10:28
All I know is that Green was
an Arizona real estate hustler...
:10:31
who barely had
enough gas money...
:10:33
to come and pick up
his own fuckin' check.
:10:35
And of course it was
the bosses' man...
:10:37
Andy Stone,
who gave all the orders.
:10:39
Not the chairman
of the fuckin' board, Philip Green.
:10:42
I understand.
I understand.
:10:47
Now all they needed was...
:10:49
somebody they could trust
to run the casino.
:10:51
And who better than Ace? I mean, he was
already in Vegas a couple years...
:10:55
and he had
the fuckin' place clocked.
:10:57
But typical Ace, give him a shot
at runnin' a casino...
