An interesting read. Teflon Tony was an amateur by comparison!

The timeframe was around 20 years ago so a search on google was able to fill in the gaps and the extent of financial corruption that was involved.

Just goes to show how far charisma will take you.

The edition I read was called Thirty Years of Controversy. More of less covers major issues that were in the press.
