the Netherlands to join the elite 1001 Club, a club for the global overworld that also included Agha Abedi, founder of BCCI; Robert Vesco, Salem bin Laden, older brother of Osama; and Mobutu Sese Seko, the CIA-installed dictator and looter of Zaire (Joël van der Reijden, “The 1001 Club,” Socio Politica, September 18, 2008, http://www.biblioteca

Drinkhall, “IRS vs. CIA.” Dalitz, Kleinman, and Tucker, all veterans of the gambling scene in Cleveland, later had a controlling interest in the Desert Inn casino in Las Vegas (Investigation of Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce: Hearings before the [Kefauver] Special Committee to Investigate Organized Crime in Interstate Commerce, U.S. Senate, 81st Cong., 2nd sess., and 82nd Congress, 1st sess., Part 10 [Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1950], 907–26). Block’s and Weaver’s later and more detailed study claims that Dalitz did not have an account at Castle but adds former Lansky associate Lou Rothkopf to the list of mob figures who did (Block and Weaver, All Is Clouded by Desire, 45).

Lernoux, In Banks We Trust, citing Wall Street Journal, May 23, 1977, February 17, 1981; see also Parapolitics, Spring 1981, 88: “Like Castle, Mercantile was a conduit for CIA money, and Price Waterhouse accountants were ‘under orders’ to make sure ‘outsiders’ did not have access to the books. If they probed around, said a CIA source, they ‘could unravel a trail to the intelligence community.’”

Mario Brod, a former U.S. Army Intelligence captain in Rome with Angleton, is not easily portrayed in a footnote. According to Richard Mahoney, when Senator John F. Kennedy ran for the presidency in 1960, his father sought out John Rosselli “to help him arrange a summit meeting with Mafia leaders. But the best Rosselli could do was to get the Chicago Outfit to attend and, interestingly enough, the attorney Mario Brod” (Richard D. Mahoney, Sons and Brothers: The Days of Jack and Bobby Kennedy [New York: Arcade, 1999], 43–44).

50. Memo of November 4, 1970, from John K. Greaney, Assistant General Counsel, CIA, NARA #104-10106-10374. Robert Sam Anson once claimed that two of the defendants in these kickback trials, John Larocca and Gabriel Mannarino, were acquitted in 1971 when “one of the star witnesses turned out to be the local head of the CIA” (Robert Sam Anson, “They’ve Killed the President” [New York: Bantam, 1975], 296). Anson told me that this witness was Brod, but I have found no court record of Brod’s testimony.
