And...Mob. 🧲
"A video gambling operator who's asking IL for permission to build a suburban horse track and casino has long-standing business ties to a banking family whose financial involvement w/ mob figures helped sink a Rosemont casino."

@zipillinois "In 2003, the FBI and the Illinois Gaming Board exposed Suspenzi and son Jeffrey for concealing their own ownership stake, as well as that of a reputed mob figure, in the infamous Emerald casino project."
"At the same time, Parkway Bank made a seven-figure loan to another reputed mobster to finance his secret stake in the casino. Rocco Suspenzi invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination at a state hearing."
Oh.
"What Gaming Board investigators knew about Heidner at the time remains secret because Illinois gambling statutes exempt gaming license applications from open records laws."
