This FBI file concerns Jacob Molinas, a former New York attorney and basketball point-shaving figure who was on parole after his bribery conviction. The Los Angeles office compiled intelligence from FBI sources, the Los Angeles Police Department, and other field offices concerning his alleged role in hard-core pornography production, processing, financing, and interstate distribution. The released June 1972 report covers investigation from January through May 1972 and describes business dealings involving Teddy Gaswirth, Norman Arno, Mickey Zaffarano, Robert Di Bernardo, and alleged organized-crime contacts. It also summarizes Molinas's earlier sports-bribery conviction, parole status, film-sales activity, reported financing arrangements, and disputes within the pornography business.
