Thanks for reading. The Pittsburgh Mafia's adventures in Havana directly impacted American foreign policy. Abe Zeid's associate Joseph Merola should be more well-known.

I'm guessing you know that Pittsburgh tried to assassinate Castro. I was told that Vegas was for the boys and Cuba was for the men

Re: Zeid betrayed Pittsburgh-area mobsters
Awesome work, as usual! I love reading your articles. I always find the stories of the lower-to-mid level guys so interesting too. Like Zeid, they really scrape out an existence.
