Description

Greek immigrant Gus Boulis was an American success story. He built a popular fast-food chain throughout South Florida before embarking on his ultimate achievement: a fleet of cruises to nowhere that took happy gamblers out to international waters to place their bets. When government pressure forced Boulis to sell his business what followed was a bewildering story that included wire-fraud, shady DC lobbyists, and the mafia. All culminating in the drive by murder of the business tycoon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
