Greenspun attended St. John's Law School and fought in World War II before he moved to Las Vegas in 1946. There he founded an entertainment magazine called Las Vegas Life and worked as a publicity agent for the Flamingo hotel, but soon shifted his attention to Israel's struggle for independence. Greenspun helped send money and arms to the Haganah (predecessor to the Israel Defense Forces) in violation of the U.S. Neutrality Acts. In 1950 this resulted in a felony conviction, a $10,000 fine, and the loss of his right to vote, but in 1961 he was pardoned by President John F. Kennedy. |
