Beach Office. | Miami letter dated | July. 31, 1964 set ‘forth the» following: oe . ‘The information set forth below is the. result of contact with confidential informant CG’6538-C-TE, on March 19, and March 25, 1964, at Miami, Florida. - In: view of the fact that this ‘informant: is intimately involved in the. information which he has furnished, it is requestéd that this information be placed on the ‘Administrative pages: of the” ‘report: and not in the. details. Informant is now involved _ > full time on the 7 "Calypso. Liner". Cruise Boat operating ‘between Miami, Florida, and- Bimini, Bahamas, B.W.I. His full time partner in this venture is FRANK MILLER, previously described by the informant as "bag man" for Broward County: SO... In addition, informant has agreed to pay DOMINIC DIBELLA one-half of. ‘his, informant ' s, share which will. go toward retirement: of his — debt to the ROSS. PRIO Organization. As was “stated. earlier, this venture is a modified version of the "Razzle Dazzle, " with the exception that prizes. are ‘given. in.the form of. perfume; cameras, watches, etc. These’ prizes, however, may be exchanged for’ cash, which is usually the case. HENRY DUBBINS, operator of the "Calypso," has issued specific instructions to informant that the game must be run in such a manner as'to not cause heat to be brought to -bear by, irate victims, and as a result, the game. is quasi- legitimate. oe ' | ‘Informant is now in a position whereby he has saved. $1,100 for DIBELLA, which will be given to him upon his next. trip to Miami, which Wwiil be. momentarily. , Informant states there was a considerable amount of difficulty in finally. proceeding with the game, in that one FRANK HERNANDEZ, 'DUBBINS' representative on’ ‘the. boat, was. “suspicious: ‘of +the~informant- -and-- FRANK - -MILLER-: and: passed-on- these suspicions to DUBBINS, stating that informant was — under " investigation by: the Government. ’ DUBBINS passed this -~E~ COVER PAGE Docld: 32295226 Page 4
TP 92-1 — on to informant, and finally admitted to informant that HERNANDEZ ° “just. did not care for the informant. informant \ . discussed the situation with MILLER and. ‘DOMINIC: DIBELLA, who. instructed informant to tell HERNANDEZ that .if he did ‘not “sit still" he; HERNANDEZ, would be "hit." _DIBELLA.. ‘told informant he received the go ‘ahead ‘to say ‘this from - ROSS PRIO. ; Informant relates, that after. this original difficulty, he and HERNANDEZ ‘have an "understanding" | so.that hé is now  *. ‘on friendly terms with him. “HERNANDEZ has ‘told informant. that he has worked in the: ‘past. ‘with and: for’ ‘SANTO. TRAFFICANTE,, both in Miami. ‘and in Cuba. He did not’ indicate’ the present relationship. between Binsolt and ‘TRAFFICANTE, but: tried to leave the’ impression that a degree of: relatbaship does" — exist. ° The informant advised on April 9, 1964, that FRANK. HERNANDEZ , previously mentioned as being closely associated with SANTO TRAFFICANTE, recently’ made a trip to New York™ with BERT DUBBIN for the purpose of making’ arrangements _ to work on ‘the new liner being purchased. ‘by DUBBIN, the "Italia," to be docked off of Freeport, Bahamas : FRANK MILLER’ told the informant that TRAFFICANTE | ‘advised MILLER during a previous meeting that if anything: ‘Should’ ‘happen’ _to FRANK. ‘HERNANDEZ, the’:same thing would ‘happen to the individual responsible, apparently referring ‘to the veiled threats by. the’ informant concerning the help of HERNANDEZ. . Pre ‘mformation in Miami files, it appears very reasonable that SANTO TRAFFICANTE and ‘BENJAMIN H.. GOLOB © are acquainted with each other but it’ ‘appears that GOLOB , is more an associate and business confidant of ANGELO BRUNO than subject. o ‘Departmental Attorney WILLIAM S. KENNEY, with whom liaison is maintained by the Miami Office, has furnished no additional information regarding ANTONIO. “IBARRO, ‘previously reported as allegedly being a. half- brother of the subject. ce With regard to the individual known as "Chopper" previously referred to as an errand boy for SANTO TRAFFICANTE, it is believed by the Miami Office that this most likely refers to ‘MACHO - GENER whose’ description’ approximates ‘that of a COVER PAGE Docld: 32295276 Page 5 , ‘e
