an fbi recording of black's hotel suite in april 1963 recorded him saying of levinson to columnist jack anderson, "jack, some day when eddie comes here for dinner or something, i want you to meet him. he's a little hard to describe. i know his whole background. he was probably the biggest bookmaker detroit ever had. i know he was the biggest gambler miami ever had. then he went to las vegas. he came under the granddaddy law; it excused him for anything he ever did as long as he stayed working in nevada. he told us all those things."
