Fought in World War Two and he won a Silver Star at the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Formed the Union Insurance Agency in 1949.
Like Hoffa, he was watched carefully by the United States government with his connections with Teamsters.
Hoffa was convicted by the Government, while Allen was acquitted of any wrong doing.
Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on July 30th, 1975.
Allen Dorfman was murdered in a Hyatt Hotel parking lot in Lincolnwood, Illinois on January 23rd, 1983. Dorfman had recently been convicted of conspiracy to bribe a U.S. Senator and was likely killed to prevent him from releasing information to authorities in exchange for a lighter sentence. The hotel was demolished in 2013.
The character of "Andy Stone" (played by Alan King) in the 1995 film Casino was based upon Dorfman. Dorfman is portrayed by Jake Hoffman in the 2019 Martin Scorsese film The Irishman. The film incorrectly states that Dorfman was killed in 1979.
