"A score of a lifetime."
That’s what Youngstown burglar Amil Dinsio was thinking in 1972, when a Cleveland mobster told him about the job.
"President Nixon [allegedly] had $30 million in a bank in California," Dinsio said.
Nixon was still in the White House (Watergate hadn’t happened yet), and according to the tipster, a stash of $30 million – some of which was rumored to belong to the president - was sitting in a bank vault in California. Nixon had allegedly been shaking down the U.S. dairy farmers – promising to raise the price of raw milk if the farmers' lobby gave him a big contribution.
