Lefty Rosenthal and Outfit murders from the 1970s.

[Ed]

Here’s a new article about Lefty Rosenthal. Rosenthal supplied details about a bunch of Outfit murders from the 1970s, including the Giancana and Roselli’s murders. He likely picked up the information through his association with Tony Spilotro and his crew.

I also have a new Blasi article coming out shortly that touches on Giancana’s murder.

My own view is that Blasi was the likely triggerman. He was likely killed on orders of Accardo with input from Aiuppa and others. I think Roemer let his personal affection for Blasi get in the way of the “facts” when he said he didn't think Blasi did it.

This is fascinating stuff Ed, thanks for posting.

The thing about Lefty guiding a bombing campaign (it's in the footnotes) is interesting.

The most surprising part was the thing about Allen Glick requesting Tamara Rand's murder. I'd never heard that before and it totally contradicts Glick's claim of being an innocent guy who was railroaded by the mob.

As Ivan already said, this is another "fascinating" piece buddy and many thanks.

I would also like to add that during the Maniaci hit, Nicoletti was in a car who allegedly looked over the whole operation.

Also something in addition to Rosenthal's career during the mid 1960's and so on, well he and Dave Yaras executed a huge invasion on Miami bookmakers. They constantly met each other to talk business at the Miami Beach Bayshore Country Club, which was Dave’s headquarters. Rosenthal was Dave’s front man and operator at the Multiple Sports News Service, which provided the “line” for bookmakers of sport events on national basis. During June and July 1967, on the orders of Yaras, Rosenthal purchased explosives, detonators, guns and ammunition to be used against rival bookmakers. For example, Alfie Mart was a Miami bookmaker and his headquarters got blown up for resisting the services of Rosenthal’s company. Also the automobile of Irving “Mickey” Zion, another Miami bookmaker, was blown to pieces. Next, the cleaning shop of another Miami bookmaker Jack “Chappie” Rand was bombed and totally destroyed.

Before she could start countin' her money the boys back home decided to settle the case out of court.

You really like that movie, don't you Pogo?

The actor who plays "Remo" looks a lot like Balistrieri IMHO. I dunno if this was intentional but they did a good job if it was.

Damn...I mean if you imagine Balistrieri a little bit chubbier than yeah... original Remo

Yeah when I saw the movie I actually thought "Is that guy supposed to be Balistrieri? Looks like him." I later found out that the character is a composite of Balistrieri and Aiuppa.

Ed, thanks for the article. Great info/reading as always.
I would not to want to kill for Accardo- I'd know that I
would be the last one to be killed. Accardo was ruthless.

Good article Ed. Love your Articles. Yes, people "pushing" for Giancana's murder and the person who "actually" pulled the trigger are two different things. As far as Ralph Pierce saying "you would never believe who did it", sounds to me like he was talking about Blasi who was Giancana's closest confidant for many years. Also, Blasi wasn't known to be an Outfit killer like Lombardo, Aleman, Spilotro, etc.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback.

I want to thank Antiliar for his help with the article.

As for the Giancana hit, Blasi later implied to Roemer that Tony Spilotro killed Giancana for sleeping with his wife. I'm find that unlikely. I go into it a little bit in the next article.

Well that might be true, meaning Sam sleeping with someones wife since it occurred quite often during his reign and maybe even previous of that, and many of his underlings had to keep quiet

[Ed]

Blasi said that Giancana juggled multiple women at the same time so I believe it's possible he slept with a member's wife-he did it before. I just don't believe Giancana slept with Spilotro's wife or Spilotro killed him over it. Frank Cullotta never mentioned anything about the affair nor did Rosenthal. I'm guessing they would have heard about the affair if it were true.

Blasi revealed this information two years after Giancana's murder which is also suspicious.

Glad to help as always, Ed. Your articles are informative and never boring, so I recommend that everyone read them.
