Frank Rosenthal & Allen Glick Interview

This is a very short interview clip of Frank Rosenthal & Allen Glick Short. This clip is taken from a documentary called Mob On The Run Argent Corp. purchased the Hacienda in 1974 and obtained a Nevada gaming license. Argent then purchased the Recrion Corporation, which owned the Stardust and Fremont. The purchase was financed by a $62 million dollar loan from the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund through Allen Dorfman to Glick. Glick held no real power as he subsequently discovered, he was a front man for the Kansas City mafia. After Argent purchased the Stardust, Frank Rosenthal was installed as a manager, although he did not have a Nevada gaming license. The Nevada Gaming Commission refused to license Rosenthal because of his criminal past, thus Rosenthal began changing job titles to positions that did not require licensing. His story was partly fictionalized in the movie "Casino," where he is played by Robert De Niro. During the time that Argent owned the four casinos, between $7 million and $15 million is estimated to have been skimmed from the casinos and sent to organized crime members in Kansas City. Argent was forced out the casino industry in the late 1970's by the Kansas City mafia. Glick denied any wrongdoing and was never charged with a crime. He became a cooperating witness, immunized from prosecution in a criminal case in 1983 against 15 individuals charged in the skimming operation. The 15 individuals indicted included many people in the top echelon of organized crime: Joseph Aiuppa, Jackie Cerone, Joseph Lombardo and Anthony Spilotro from the Chicago Outfit; Frank Balistrieri and his two sons John and Joseph Balistrieri of the Milwaukee crime family; and Carl Civella from the Kansas City crime family.
