# Ted Binion

> Lonnie Theodore "Ted" Binion was an American gambling executive and the son of Las Vegas casino operator Benny Binion, owner of Binion's Horseshoe. Ted Binion was involved in multiple criminal activities, including associating with organized crime figures. He also possessed a multi-million dollar bullion coin and silver bar collection, known as the Binion Hoard, which he hid inside the Horseshoe and at two properties that he owned. When Binion died under suspicious circumstances in 1998, his girlfriend Sandra Murphy and her lover Rick Tabish were charged and convicted of burglary, grand larceny and murder. The pair were later granted a new trial and acquitted on the murder charges.
