CYOE FAN's todays focus will be investigating Michael Lansky,Dakota Carrier Services, a subsidiary of Dakota L.L.C. They are in Arizona. I need incorporation info and background checks. This is the deal right befor Curcio. Some preliminary searches show a Meyer Lansky in AZ involved in organized crime. I need a conection and since Curcio deal was after this one we never fully checked it out. I smell a rat so lets get our trap ready and finish them off this weekend. If Curcio deal was a scam this one probably was too.
sefl.satelnet.org VALENTINE:Well if I can recall, in the '60s, and even in the '70s, the greatest money launderer of all was Meyer Lansky.WEBB: Meyer Lansky has direct ties with these people and ties in with 'em. They're... I mean, go down to... If you want to get the Meyer Lansky connection into these people and into Arizona, ask yourself the question: Why is it in the same residential area that Lansky was, and the Wrigley family? You've got Melman, you've got the Inslaw software Dr. Earl Brian, you've got Ronald Reagan, you've got Dino DiConcini (Dennis', the head of armed services [committee], brother), you've got General John Singlaub, who was running the drug operation in Arkansas for Bill Clinton. And there's several other players down there. I've forgot all the names of the people. But I mean, they're all interconnected...VALENTINE: When you say, "down there", what are you talkin' about?WEBB:Pardon me?VALENTINE: Whereabouts are you talking about, "down there"?WEBB: It's in Arizona. It's on Camelback Mountain.VALENTINE: Oh! Like Scottsdale, and down in that way.WEBB: It is down there. It's the most expensive real estate in Arizona. They've all got second homes down there. And Carl Lender(sp?), who started Charles Keating's, down there, and the whole bit. But here's, to give you a summary -- and I think it's important that we get this out, Tom. A summary of what they've done on the airport is basically this: They owned the land, then they perpetuated the fraud that shoved the appraisals of the land up five times, in a year, of what the actual value was. Then they turn around and create three political action committees to pump it down the American people's throat that they need a new airport: "It's gonna create 100,000 new jobs to Denver," and it didn't. Then they buy off government officials. And of course, they put the U.S. attorney in place and they had two federal judges bribed, paid off, and the whole bit. And I've got the guy that was launderin' their bribes! They laundered it through M&L Business Machines Company, that they tried to make it look like (the U.S. attorney did) as though it was a "check kiting scandal" when in fact it was money laundering!VALENTINE: All right. We gotta take another break, so hang in there! Hold in there. The U.S. attorney ruled that it was "check kiting" when it was actually money laundering. We'll get back to that. My guest is Stew Webb. The subject matter: the Denver airport scam. I'm Tom Valentine, this is *Radio Free America*.[...commercial break...] All right, we are back. And we are talking about scandal and, I'm serious, about big, high scandal. I want you to go ahead and finish where you were, and then I have another question for ya...WEBB: Well basically, Mike Norton, the U.S. attorney who's no longer in office; Janet Reno fired all 92 of 'em across the nation. But he was, the cover-up part is in this whole thing. And that's the reason these men have never been prosecuted, because, you know, they had him directly in their pocket. He owns apartments with 'em. He took a bribe, and he laundered a $2.5 million bribe himself through M&L Business Machines Company. And the federal judge laundered money through there, [the judge] that was protecting Blinder Robinson, the company that was movin' the money overseas to John Dix's house. The whole bit. I mean, M&L is one of the key, instrumental companies, that was like Blinder Robinson, that was movin' money. But the problem is, the guy got greedy and decided to rip the bad guys off for $150 million. And when he did, he threw it into bankruptcy court, thinkin' that, "Well. I throw it in there and all the records will be available and then they'll see it was money laundering and I'll be out of the country and everybody'll be in trouble and they'll be worryin' about protectin' their own little rear ends. And I won't have to worry about this thing. I'll be overseas, enjoyin' it."
