The Pritzker Crime Family Documented Most black voters, JB Pritzker's largest base, are largely unaware that JB Pritzker has done nothing to invest in economically depressed black neighborhoods. They are also unaware that he, like Mayor Lori Lightfoot is a strong advocate of defunding the police, which would have the most negative impact on disenfranchised, high crime black neighborhoods actually creating a climate where violence can escalate instead of be reduced. They are also unaware that also unaware that the mega corporation, Boeing, has left Illinois siting "Pritzker's total economic incompetence is the reason for our departure from Illinois." African Americans, along with most voters, are unaware that though JB Pritzker positions himself as a business entrepreneur, he is actually a billionaire trust fund child born into wealth from his family's Hyatt Hotel owned chain, which, according to author Gus Russo was financed by Chicago mob money. "The origins of the Pritzker family fortune was her grandfather's mob connections when he was a tax attorney for a lot of people in "The Outfit," the Chicago mob, beginning under Al Capone, and continuing through the 1980s. This connection to organized crime was reportedly what financed the creation of Hyatt Hotels by Penny's father. There was no crime involved, but the financial backing came from organized crime, plain and simple. The details are in Gus Russo's 2006 tome Supermob: How Sidney Korshak and His Criminal Associates Became America's Hidden Power Brokers. Most African Americans who did and likely will vote again are largely unaware of how Penny Pritzker fleeced African Americans. "[Penny]Pritzker’s net worth is listed in Forbes as $1.8 billion, which is one hell of a heavy magic wand in the world of politics. Her wand would have been heavier, and her net worth higher, except that in 2001, the federal government fined her and her family $460 million for the predatory, deceitful, racist tactics and practices of Superior, the bank-and-loan-shark operation she ran on the South Side of Chicago. Superior was the first of the deregulated go-go banks to go bust – at the time, the costliest failure ever. US taxpayers lost nearly half a billion dollars. Superior’s depositors lost millions and poor folk in Sen. Obama’s South Side district lost their homes... Instead of public service, the tradition in the Pritzker family seems focused on economic exploitation of others, skirting the law as much as possible, and shady dealings. There is a strong tradition in the Pritzker family of outright money laundering and offshore tax evasion." " Rick Perlstein's two-part article in The Nation, raised an even more troubling chapter of Pritzker history: the family's connection to Castle Bank of the Bahamas. According to Russo (pages 439 ff.) Castle Bank was the granddaddy of offshore money laundering and tax evasion. Castle Bank was set up in 1964 by former senior Office of Strategic Services officer Paul Helliwell, who had become an important cutout for hiding CIA funds; Morris Kleinman of the Cleveland organized crime family headed by Moe Dalitz; Burton Kanter, a tax attorney for the Pritzkers, and a board member of Hyatt; and Stanford Clinton, a partner in grandpa Pritzker's law firm, and a trustee of the Teamsters Pension Fund, which was an important center of mob finances." ....it turned out that the Pritzkers were the largest depositors in one of the most notorious offshore tax havens ever devised..." This is just some of the documented evidence that demonstrates, far from being an entrepreneur and philanthropist, JB Pritzker is a financial predator with his sights set on the tax payers of Illinois, especially African Americans who are his largest voter base. His moral compass is so messed up that it's surprising he can find his way to the buffet table to gorge his insatiable appetite for gourmet food and fine wines. If you're looking to vote for a gubernatorial candidate who built his criminal empire on the misfortunes of tax-payers and criminal association with mobsters, a man who evades paying income taxes by shielding his vast fortune in off-shore money-laundering banks and multiple shell corporations, and a man who always puts his own interests above those of his constituents, as well as a man who possesses no sense of integrity, you need not look any further than JB Pritzker.
