Nucky is back!
Soon after his return, without practically any delay, he immediately found Donnie and recounted his agenda in Trenton over the last couple of days.
Naturally, what he talked about the most was the funding needed to legalize the gambling industry in Atlantic City.
This funding wasn't for hotel construction, purchasing equipment, or anything of that sort; it was for greasing palms.
In the United States, such affairs are all too common, especially after Harding took office; a multitude of corruption scandals involving the Harding Administration erupted!
"All in all, I estimate we'll need at least half a million US Dollars!"
After pouring himself a glass of whiskey, Nucky finally said to Donnie.
Donnie had no objections, even though he knew that the sum was certainly inflated, but there was no choice; to legalize the gambling industry in Atlantic City, they needed Nucky to step forward.
