- Dewey.
- He was given a 30 to 50-year prison sentence, but during World War II an agreement was struck with the Department of the Navy through his associate Meyer Lansky to provide naval intelligence; for his alleged wartime cooperation, he was deported back to Italy, in 1946, to live his life freely outside the United States.
