There is a very interesting gambling related auction going on E-Bay at the moment.
It is apparently the Pinky Ring and Money clip of reputed Texas Drug Lord Jamiel "Jimmy" Chagra, picked up at Police Auction after his assets were seized.
Although the items themselves are rather interesting, the back story is even more interesting.
Allegedly, Chagra hired hit man Charles Harrelson (Woody Harrelson of Cheers and Natural Born Killers Fame father) to assassinate Judge John Wood Jr., the judge presiding over his case who was known to hand out the maximum sentence allowed by law on drug related charges.
It is also rumored that Charles Harrelson was also one of the 'hobos' detained after President John F. Kennedy's assassination in Texas.
Charles Harrelson is still serving a life sentence, after his last appeal in 1977 was rejected.
Jamiel Chagra was released on parole in December of 2003.
The story the Seller gives regarding Charga's connections to some very influential Las Vegas personalities, including the current mayor of Las Vegas, and the owner of Binions makes for a very interesting read.
