What Happened to Casino Magnate Ted Binion? His 1998 Death Is Still a Mystery

Two days after his death, Tabish and two other men were arrested for trying to empty Binion’s underground vault. Tabish claimed that Binion had told him that if anything ever happened, he should dig up the silver, turn it into cash, and give it to his family.

In March 1999, Binion’s death was ruled a homicide, and two months later, Murphy and Tabish were arrested for his murder, per the L.A. Times. They were convicted of all charges and sentenced to life in prison in 2000.
