Big Brother
To even begin to understand why Vegas Metro went so hard after Larry, we first have to answer the most important question: was his brother Tommy the mafia soldier law enforcement claimed he was? The events depicted in this episode occurred two years after Larry's vindication... and would result in Tommy being charged with murder.Despite the trap they set for Larry blowing up in their face, a Federal Judge ruling they had committed "Outrageous Misconduct" and being sued for millions, Vegas Metro wasn’t done going after Tommy. In fact, they doubled down – and this time they came armed with the full weight of the FBI and every investigative weapon in the government’s arsenal at their disposal. They called it “Operation Thin Crust”.

The Nightmare Begins
January, 1990. Larry's older brother, Tommy, a man law enforcement had been fixated on for years, returns to Las Vegas. Within weeks, the state of Nevada abruptly suspends Larry's gaming license, costing him his job as a high-limit Baccarat dealer at The Riviera. Desperation and a chance reunion with a former business partner place Larry dead center in the crosshairs of an overzealous Vegas Metro detective. New suspicions reignite Brad's enthusiasm to get to the bottom of Larry's story, leading him to once again jump headfirst into what might be the most egregious example of police misconduct in the history of Las Vegas. Episode 2, Big Brother, coming soon to all podcast platforms. Special thanks to the Las Vegas Historical Society, Detective Phil Ramos (Ret.) of the LVMPD and my Mom. Go Bills.
