The FBI investigated Moe Dalitz for racketeering, bank fraud, and numerous other criminal activities. During the Prohibition era, he was active in the Detroit, Akron, and Cleveland areas. He eventually settled in Cleveland where he became the leader of the powerful criminal mob called the Mayfield Road Gang. From the early 1930s to 1968, Dalitz maintained associations and/or contacts with notorious hoodlums throughout the country. Throughout the 1940s he expanded his interests in gambling operations in Ohio, Kentucky and Florida. Dalitz later moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, acquiring interests in hotel properties. He was indicted on federal tax evasion charges in 1968; however, the charges against him ultimately were dismissed.
