Officials: Democrat's Biggest Money Man Has Mob Connections
By Brian Ross
B O S T O N, July 28, 2004 - As Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards
arrived in Boston today for the Democratic National Convention, so did
the California man who is their single biggest contributor.
He is Stephen Bing, a wealthy film producer who, with little fanfare,
has managed to steer a total of more than $16 million of his money to
Democratic candidates and the supposedly independent groups that
support them.
"To most of the people who track money and politics, they're like, who
the hell is Steve Bing?" said Chuck Lewis, founder of the Center for
Public Integrity, a nonprofit, nonpartisan watchdog organization.
Bing is perhaps best known for sparking a tabloid frenzy when he
publicly expressed doubt that he was the father of actress Elizabeth
Hurley's baby. (A paternity test proved he was indeed the father.) He
repeatedly has refused to say why he is funneling millions of dollars
to the Democrats.
Lewis thinks it is cause for concern.
"We can identify who the big donors are, but how much do we really
know about any of them?" he said.
In fact, Democratic Party officials said they knew nothing about the
man who law enforcement officials tell ABC News is Bing's friend and
business partner - Dominic Montemarano, a New York Mafia figure
currently in federal prison on racketeering charges.
Montemarano has a long criminal record and is known to organized crime
investigators by his street name, Donnie Shacks.
"Donnie Shacks' main activity was murder. No question about it. That
was his main function for the Colombo family and for organized crime
in general. He was one of the top hit men in the New York area," said
Joe Coffey, a former NYPD investigator.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Bing paid Montemarano's legal fees
after his most recent scrape with the law. Montemerano's lawyer said
his client was an employee of Bing's.
After a recent private lunch with Democratic vice-presidential
candidate Edwards, Bing also declined to answer questions about his
relationship with Montemarano.
