# VICE-INTELLIGENCE DIVISIONMONTGOMERY COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENTCONTINUING INVESTIGATIONS REPORTSOCR 76-32SUBJECT/CASE REFERENCE: CARRAFA, Eugene MichaelDATEOBSERVATIONS/INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED/EXPENSESDuring the 1964 Senate Rules Committee investigation of the Bobby Baker case, Levinson claimed the privilege of the 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments. During the investigation, it was revealed that Levinson was a stockholder with Baker in the Waikiki Savings and Loan Association in Honolulu, the other members being Cliff Jones and his law partner, Louis Weiner; Edward Barrick, a part-owner in the Flamingo, Fremont, and Horseshoe Club; Mike Singer, deceased labor racketeer and former business agent of Teamster Local 626 in Los Angeles; Morris "Moe" Genser, former assistant chief investigator for the California Department of Motor Vehicles, later indicted for bribery, grand theft, extortion, and assorted other crimes; and Fred Black, Jr. Levinson also joined with Baker and Black in a stock deal which involved the Farmers and Merchants State Bank in Tulsa, Oklahoma.In May 1967, a U. S. Grand Jury in Las Vegas returned an indictment of income tax evasion against Levinson; Edward Torres, former vice president of the Fremont Hotel; and Paul Weyerman and Cornelius Hurlay, former stockholders and employees of the Fremont Hotel.In March 1968, Levinson pled nolo contendere to the "skimming" charges, admitting that he had "willfully aided and assisted in the preparation of false corporate tax returns for the fiscal year ending in 1963", and was fined $5,000.In 1967, a group of organized crime figures attempted to defraud the Chase Manhattan Bank of almost $2 million, using the Exchange Bank of Geneva, Switzerland as a cover. The bank was owned by a group of Americans, including several prominent businessmen, as well as Levinson and Benjamin Siegelbaum. The investigation revealed that the Swiss bank had served as a "laundry shop" for Mafia money for years.On March 1, 1974, Levinson's wife, Betty, invested approximately $90,000 as a stockholder in Lake Elsinore Sands, Inc., a "restaurant, cocktail lounge, and gambling casino" at Lake Elsinore. The officers of Lake Elsinore Sands, Inc., are Jack Barenfeld, President, who was arrested in 1934 for suspicion of murder; and Carl Braverman, Vice President and Treasurer, who was arrested in West Virginia in 1927 for larceny and again in New York in 1943 for untrue advertising.

In 1951, he moved to Miami Beach, where he operated the bookmaking concession at the San Souci Hotel. Levinson was chased out of Miami in 1951 by the Kefauver Committee, so he ventured to Las Vegas and became part-owner in the Sands Hotel, which was being operated for Joseph "Doc" Stacher, a Meyer Lansky lieutenant.By 1955, Levinson, having acquired interests in the Flamingo and Dunes hotels, was ready to give them all up for his coming involvement in Doc Stacher's Fremont Hotel. At that same time, he also acquired a major interest in the Horseshoe Club. (By late 1963, he was the largest single stockholder in the Fremont Hotel and in the Horseshoe.)He became involved in the establishment of the Bank of World Commerce, Ltd., which incorporated in 1961 under British law in Nassau. Ed Levinson and Cliff "Big Juice" Jones, former Nevada Lieutenant Governor, were listed as stockholders, with the directors of the bank being Levinson; Benjamin Sigelbaum, a reported bagman for Meyer Lansky; Irving Devine; and John Pullman. Reportedly, the Bank of World Commerce served as a "laundromat" for syndicate cash by allowing money to flow into the bank only to return to the United States from Nassau in the form of loans for everything from homes for gangsters to savings and loan associations around the country.During the 1960's Levinson became associated with several political figures. No only did he aid financially troubled Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, but he became a partner in the Serv-U Vending Corporation with Bobby Baker, then secretary to the Democratic Majority Leader of the United States Senate; Fred Black, Jr., a Washington lobbyist for North American Aviation Company; and Benjamin Siegelbaum. This company provided vending machines for companies working on government contracts and was substituted for a firm that had handled North American Aviation's vending business for years, despite the fact that Serv-U had no employees, vending machines, or experience.In 1962, Levinson, along with Benjamin Sigelbaum, appeared to be involved in Airway Hotel, Inc., the hotel corporation which created the Intenational Airport Hotel on Century Boulevard in Los Angeles.
