There is an expatriate who hails from Chicago that has spread and built his empire of greed and vice on the island of Aruba. His name is Michael Posner, but is also known as Michael Rubins and Irving Goldstein. He currently lives in Aruba and owns the Excelsior, Holiday Inn, Brickel Bay Hotel, Grand Holiday Casino, along with other miscellaneous “businesses” in Aruba. It would be an understatement to say Posner is a major player in the stench of Aruba’s underbelly of crime.

Posner has gathered quite an extensive list of arrests dating back to the 1960’s, including a ten-year prison sentence in the 1980’s. All his crimes stem from his mafia ties in the suburbs of Chicago, as a lieutenant under the 1980’s Chicago mob boss, Joseph Ferriola.


Thanks for the remind and yeah I completely forgot about Posner's operations in Aruba. Posner wasnt on the high level of Humphreys and Alex but he was obviously one of those Chicago non-Italian "members" who probably was on the same level of Red Larner, Les Kruse or Ralph Pierce.

Btw we can also mention Vincent Cozzo who during the 1980s was top lieutenant for Outfit capo Tony Centracchio and allegedly controlled a casino-hotel on the Caribbean island of Curaçao, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reportedly suspected that the casino was possibly used for laundering illegal money.
