As to the victims association with the Mafia, he probably had none. He was meeting new business associates just before he was killed. My guess is that it was simple extortion. They told him to pay them $100,000 or whatever, or they would kill him. He tried to but couldn't come up with the money fast enough so they killed him.

Objection, your honor; calls for speculation.

'her father was meeting new business associates who wanted to build 20 homes in Malibu. The next day he repeatedly tried to clean out his bank account.

"He called the bank four times saying that he needs the money out and that he was in danger, but there was a slip-up at the bank," his daughter said.'

Just so you know, the words "probably", and "guess", used in the way I used them would indicate to the educated reader that I was speculating. There was no need for you to point it out.

So your theory is that the Mafia wouldn't allow him to take his money out of the bank? That would be very kind of them considering the fact that if he had taken the money out of the bank it would probably be in their hands now rather than his heirs.

I didn't realize the Mafia was such a caring organization? </sarcasm

Some have a talent for speculation. See article here.

I rest my case.
