George Freeman, a prominent Sydney figure, was a highly successful illegal bookmaker with extensive connections in organised crime. His empire, built on violence and corruption, involved phone betting, illegal casinos, and race fixing, reaching an estimated annual turnover of $1.8 billion. Freeman cultivated relationships with police, judiciary members, and even figures in American organised crime, using bribery and intimidation to maintain his power. Despite facing accusations and investigations, Freeman enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and even published an autobiography before his death from heart failure. His story highlights the pervasive influence of organised crime in Sydney during the 20th century.
