Four men seized in Gulf Oil top maps case underworld ring
FBI uncovered an underworld network seeking to cash in on Gulf Oil top secret oil exploration maps worth millions. Four men were arrested in the Pittsburgh area after maps were stolen from Gulf Oil's offices. Edie Richard Seagraves, 60, a Texas promoter linked to Rubinstein, and Emmanuel Lester, 32, jailed for extortion, figure in the case. Authorities say a Gulf employee in debt profited from the theft and that some maps were offered for sale for up to 500000. The maps spurred drilling attempts in the Southwest and unknown sites. Authorities note Seagraves had world wide oil interests and Rubinstein connections, though the exact ties remain unclear.
