Marked for Death Mafia Swindle Exposed by Informant
Irwin Pinky Davis turns informer after seven years with the Mafia and provides evidence to federal prosecutors to convict a top gangster. In a five part Sun-Times series told to Ray Brennan, Davis recounts a half million dollar pen and paper scam tied to Corydon Travel Agency and Parkway Bank. He details a home improvement loan racket using substandard papers to fleece homeowners and notes potential criminal evidence yet to be revealed in court. He recalls March 1965 and the exploitation of a Chicago suburban banking scheme that targeted unsuspecting borrowers.
