Described by the Eighth Circuit as the Government's principal witness in the Tropicana skimming trial, and by a Senate subcommittee staff summary of FBI affidavits as the Kansas City "outfit" principal management agent in Las Vegas.

This page is limited to the Eighth Circuit's opinions and a Senate subcommittee's hearing record. The Eighth Circuit describes Agosto as "now deceased." The role line below is a staff member's summary of FBI affidavits. It is a statement of the Government's evidence and not a court finding. The Eighth Circuit's own words about him are set out in the events. The installment dates of his testimony are printed in the opinion without a year, and the opinion gives no date of death.
