The news that Leck Young was leaving Atlantic City was like a deep-water torpedo, quickly detonating throughout the city.
The news about Leck Young teaming up with Ritz Hotel owner Nicky Limo, and Nevin Byrd from the east planning to secure 9 Golden Halls in the newly-built Surf Hotel in Atlantic City, wasn't a secret there.
In fact, many people were watching the situation closely.
The related people wanted to see whether Donnie and Nucky would agree to their demands, because if Donnie and Nucky agreed, then the others would surely follow suit.
The unrelated people just wanted to see how Donnie and Nucky would handle the situation, adopting the attitude of disinterested observers, while also taking the opportunity to play the part of the Virgin Mary.
"Now that the gambling industry is legalized in Atlantic City, Donnie and Nucky must be making a killing, sharing a bit with the others is only right!"
This was the prevailing sentiment among these people!
