Known for his brutality, courtroom outbursts, and erratic behavior, Sam “Mad Sam” DeStefano was a longtime loan shark and enforcer for the Chicago Outfit. His violent methods and unpredictability eventually became a concern for Outfit leadership, with reports suggesting boss Tony Accardo approved his removal.
In April 1973, DeStefano was killed by a shotgun blast outside his Chicago home. The murder remains officially unsolved, though FBI agent William Roemer believed the hit was carried out by Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, once mentored by DeStefano, with help from DeStefano’s brother.
When professional poker player Doyle “Texas Dolly” Brunson was threatened by Chicago Outfit enforcer Tony “The Ant” Spilotro, luck wasn’t going to save him.
Spilotro would tell Brunson that if he didn't work with him on a cheating scheme, Brunson would end up with 12 ice picks in his “big fat belly.”
Facing a threat from Spilotro, Brunson turned to fellow Texan Benny Binion, who ran the Horseshoe casino on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. If anybody could make Spilotro back off, it was Binion, whose fondness for Western wear and frontier justice fit his “Cowboy” nickname.
A convicted killer during his bootlegging and illegal gambling days in Dallas, Binion left for Las Vegas in late 1946. He arrived in Las Vegas in a Cadillac with $1 million in the trunk and two Thompson submachine guns, according to Marine Corps combat veteran R.D. Matthews, one of Binion’s associates who was along for the ride.
“Without that protection (of Binion),” Brunson said, "I have no doubt that Spilotro would have killed me.”
In this photo, Binion leaves federal court in Las Vegas in November 1952 after petitioning a judge to avoid extradition to Texas on tax evasion charges. One month later, he was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.
