Featured in this lot is an Al Sachs personal 14k yellow gold and diamond Stardust Casino key FOB, circa 1970-1980s. Al Sachs co-owned the Stardust Casino with Herb Tobman in 1979. In 1982, federal authorities accused Sachs and Tobman of providing skimmed money to the Chicago mob. An 18-count complaint was filed against Sachs and Tobman, stating they failed to take appropriate action to stop this latest skimming operation which totaled more than $1.5 million. The men themselves were not accused of skimming. Gaming officials sought a record $3.5 million fine for 222 alleged gaming violations. This latest investigation was part of an effort to remove Mafia figures from Nevada gaming operations. The Stardust had become infamous for its mob affiliations. A federal agent described it as "the flagship of organized crime on the Strip". The key chain FOB is wonderfully and professionally crafted 14k yellow gold and diamond construction that shows a total of eight round brilliant cut diamonds with good eye clarity with the name of the casino in the center and a scorpion on the dangle part of the FOB. On the other side of the FOB is Al Sachs name along with an upside down pentagram and is marked '14k' next to it. The overall condition of this personal key chain FOB is good with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this key chain FOB are 5 3/4" x 1 1/8". The collective weight of this gold key chain FOB is 39.5g.*
