Summary
[edit]DescriptionPurple Hotel Brick, Allen Dorfman Assassination (50160590198).jpg |
The purple brick in the center of this photo is an obscure but possibly only surviving relic of the demolished Purple Hotel where mob racketeer Allen Dorfman was murdered. Since the 1940, Allen Dorfman and Jimmy Hoffa developed the Teamsters union into a major organization with Dorfman managing pension funds. Later he became associated with Outfit heavyweights such as Sam Giancana and labor racketeer Sam Glimco. In the late 40s he became owner of an insurance agency and moved teamster funds into it, siphoning significant "fees" off for himself. He also arranged loans for several mob controlled Las Vegas casinos, including the Stardust Casino which was run by "Lefty" Rosenthal. After several run-in with the feds, Hoffa was sent to prison in 1967 while Dorfman was acquitted. Dorfman took control of the Central States Pension Fund. But in the 70s Dorfman was indicted several times for various fraud offenses and lost control of the fund. Finally he convicted in 1982 over a wiretap operation involving the bribing of a Nevada Democratic Senator. Right before his sentencing in early 1983, he was gunned down in a parking lot outside the Lincolnwood Hyatt. It's thought this was done to keep him from turning state's evidence against the Outfit to save himself from a possible 55-year sentence. This murder was portrayed in the Scorcese movie "Casino" with Alan King portraying Dorfman. Brick located at 6417 N. Ravenswood (Evanstonia Antiques & Restoration) Lincolnwood Hyatt was located at 4500 W. Touhy Ave., Lincolnwood, IL |
