One of his biggest scams was when he rennovated the Taj Mahal Casino Hotel in Atlantic City NJ. He stiffed hundreds of contractors and never paid anything by having a senior debt at against the hotel that got paid off and all the contractors got zero. I am from South Jersey and was an avid Philadelphia newspaper reader.
