shipment of cheese as being worth $50,000 per year.

a restaurant in Florida next to Momma Leoni's. SCHWARTZ

believed that gambling 1s going to be legalized in Florida.

"It looks like they're

going to legalize gambling in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

He described a club in Hot Springs, The Vapors, as worth

a million and a half with big-time shows costing $10,000

to $15,000 weekly.

Springs. MARIO said,
