United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, No. 439, Docket 35579, argued January 11, 1971, decided February 19, 1971, before Judges Waterman, Friendly and Kaufman, with the opinion by Judge Kaufman.
“Vincent Alo, appealing from his conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 1505 for obstructing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s administration of the federal securities laws, asserts three primary grounds for reversal.” The court affirmed. His conviction “was based on his testimony at an investigative proceeding conducted by the SEC on May 25-26, 1966,” an inquiry into the beneficial ownership of large blocks of Tel-A-Sign, Inc. stock, in which, the court records, he repeatedly professed loss of memory. He had been questioned about meetings in New York in late 1964.
The opinion does not mention Las Vegas, the Desert Inn, a rank or a family. It is filed because it is the federal court’s record of Alo’s conviction, and no federal record opened for this archive ties him to a Las Vegas casino.
