On November 2nd, 1987, I was surrendered by my lawyers to the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service/Criminal Investigation Division in Newburgh, N.Y.,  by a top Secret Service agent from Las Vegas, who went to high school with me. I was informed by this agent that if I did not surrender I would be indicted under the RICO statutes for being the new “boss” of the Lansky group in Canada, Interstate transportation of stolen goods, international money laundering on the Canadian border and criminal income tax evasion.      
For the sake of my son and parents, I surrendered and cut a deal to stay out of prison. My deal was arranged by agents Bob Collasaco, Mike Greco, Phil Kercher and Richard Lanier. It was controlled by Senior Agent Peter Benevento of the IRS/CID.            
I refused to turn in my organization and my partner Paul DiCocco, but agreed to originate money laundering cases against people I did not do business with. One instance included a local golf course. They refused my testimony even with me present on the grounds, with people indicted on state charges, and I was counting the money!
My statute of limitations is up. I’m a free man, since they cannot legally hold me for more than 10 years under RICO.  I still have 300 cases signed by treasury/IRS/CID agents and acknowledged by 2 federal judges and the justice department in the northern judicial district.
