The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement

Former undercover FBI agent Joaquin "Jack" Garcia has been named the 2024 Distinguished Service Honoree by the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA). Garcia, whose 26-year career was one of the most successful in FBI history, participated in more than 100 undercover operations, including his legendary role as "Jack Falcone." Posing as a trusted associate, Garcia infiltrated the Gambino crime family, leading to the arrest and conviction of 35 Mob members, including top figures in the post-Gotti era. Now a proud member of The Mob Museum’s Advisory Council, Garcia’s remarkable career exemplifies courage, ingenuity and an unwavering commitment to justice. Thank you for your service, Jack!

We had the honor of welcoming IRS Criminal Investigation Chief Guy Ficco to The Mob Museum earlier this week. Chief Ficco toured the Museum and visited the T-Men-inspired “Follow the Money” exhibit with our President & CEO, Jonathan Ullman. As the nation's premier organization for organized crime and law enforcement history, it is a privilege to connect with leaders at the forefront of justice and financial crime investigations. This visit underscores the vital connection between historical context and the ongoing fight against financial crime. Thank you, Chief Ficco, for your dedication to public service and for making The Mob Museum part of your Las Vegas experience.

Congratulations to our new mayor and the city council! As a city shaped by resilience and reinvention, we’re excited to see this leadership team continue to guide Las Vegas into a promising future.

Here’s to the next chapter of progress and innovation for our vibrant city!

Join us for our October 15 program, Blood and Betrayal: "Crazy Sal" Polisi's Life in the New York Mafia. Polisi, a former associate in New York’s Colombo crime family, participated in hijackings, bank robberies and other daring crimes. He founded his own Mafia gambling den, the Sinatra Club, and rubbed shoulders with notorious criminals such as John Gotti, Jimmy Burke and Henry Hill. But as the feds closed in, Polisi faced a gut-wrenching decision: remain loyal to the family or flip on the men he called friends. In this penetrating conversation, Polisi will reflect on his criminal life, his escape from its clutches, and the price he and his family paid to escape. There will be a book signing with Sal Polisi following the program. RSVP at https://lnkd.in/gS8Cy9br
