Spoiler: The FBI approached Bob Guccione, publisher of Penthouse, with a proposal. Guccione was in the process of building the Penthouse Boardwalk Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey and needed financing. Weinberg approached Guccione and told him that an Arab sheikh wanted to invest $150 million in the casino project, but only if the casino had obtained a gaming license. Weinberg wanted Guccione to pay a $300,000 bribe to New Jersey gaming officials to get the license. Guccione responded by saying "Are you out of your mind?"[17] After the Abscam scandal came to light, Guccione sued the federal government, but lost.[18]
