How many times did he sell a business and start another one across the street? would'nt you prohibit that from happening in a contract if YOU where a buying interest?

You remember them saying they had nothing to tie Ben to anything? Pure speculation and self incrimination at its best.
No one will ever know what happened. It made for an interesting story and book though.Maybe someone someday should write another story.
If I lend or give money to someone does that make me a target for criminal prosecution too?

I believe they also said that Bobby Young was going to testify against Kramer.
Like I said, I will have to watch it again, but I don't remember them saying they did not have enything to tie Kramer to the murder.
As a matter of fact the Detective was pretty confident that Kramer was behind it.

"Nineteen sixty-nine was Don Aronow's year. Magnum's new owners specified that Aronow could not compete against them by setting up yet another new boat company, but Aronow got around that. Under the aegis of his friend Elton Cary, he built a 32 foot boat he called The Cigarette, named after a prohibition-era pirate ship- legendary around Sheepshead Bay-that hi-jacked bootleg liquor from rumrunners, then scooted away faster than enyone could catch it. The washington Post had written that "the idea of bad guys outracing other bad guys and seizing their fortune appealed to Aronow".
"Magnum sued him . Aronow settled , then opened his most famous company: Cigarette Racing Team. The name Cigarette would become synonymous with go-fast boats".

I'm starting to understand this a little now, sounds like a real mess as is everything where drugs are involved. I'm going to buy the book and read it, very interesting.
