Michael McLaney
Michael Julius "Mickey" McLaney (1 February 1915〔AncientFaces, (M J Mclaney (1915 - 1994) )〕 - 9 September 1994〔Russo (2010:526)〕) was a mafia-linked US golf and tennis player who made a fortune in the casino business.
==Career==
McLaney was Louisiana state champion as a young tennis player for eight years running,〔Gus Russo (2010), ''(Live by the Sword: The Secret War Against Castro and the Death of JFK )'', Bancroft Press, p161-2〕 and in 1962 he won the Grass Court Men's Doubles title at the United States Amateur Championships, with Gardnar Mulloy.〔United States Tennis Association, (U.S. ADULT & SENIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS )〕 McLaney also played excellent golf, declining to turn professional on the grounds that he could make more money as an amateur (he claimed to have once won $250,000 from Carroll Rosenbloom betting on a round of golf).〔 McLaney formed a professional partnership with Rosenbloom, and was in Rosenbloom's owner's box with him at the Colts-Giants 1958 NFL Championship Game.〔
In September 1958 McLaney was able to purchase a large share of the ''Casino Internacional'' at Havana's Hotel Nacional de Cuba, partnering with Rosenbloom.〔 In 1959, following the Cuban Revolution, the hotel and casino were nationalised, and McLaney briefly imprisoned.〔 Despite this debacle, McLaney continued to be active in the casino business,〔FBI, 1. October 1965, ''Mary Ferrell Foundation'', (He has a silent interest in the Carousel Gambling Casino )〕〔''Time'', 1 October 1973, (Accusing a Roosevelt )〕 moving to the Bahamas and operating a casino in the Cat Cays. In the 1967 Bahamas election McLaney aided Lynden Pindling, and was mentioned in a ''Life'' magazine article alleging corrupt connections between Pindling and organised crime.〔William Lambert and Richard Oulahan, ''Life'', 3 February 1967, "The Scandal in the Bahamas"〕 McLaney unsuccessfully sued the magazine's publisher, Time Inc..〔(Time, Inc., D/B/A Life v. Michael J. McLaney A/K/A Mike McLaney, 406 F.2d 565 (5th Cir. 1969) ), 11 February 1969〕 He eventually moved with his family to Haiti, where he enjoyed a near-monopoly on the casino business under the Duvaliers.〔Marcus Stern, ''San Diego Union-Tribune'', 2 October 1994, (Hill of plenty: Some Americans living in Haiti look down on slum-dwellers )〕〔''The New York Times'', October 12, 1994, (MISSION TO HAITI: THE RICH; Business Owners Fear Chaos at the Hands of Mobs When Aristide Returns )〕
