Sachs was licensed by the state despite alleged affiliations with the Chicago mob. It was later discovered that Richard Bunker, the former chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, had withheld an investigative report from the board during Sachs' licensing. The report documented the 1970s skimming operation and concluded that Sachs had hired Rosenthal and Vandermark. However. Bunker said he withheld the report because the evidence of Sachs' involvement was actually inconclusive. Tobman would later become a co-owner of the Stardust, although he said that he was never required to be licensed.
