Abraham B. Sarkis (December 9, 1914 – June 5, 1991) was an American bookmaker who oversaw Boston's numbers racket for the Patriarca crime family.
[4] In 1940, Sarkis suffered severe cuts when a plate glass window shattered during a two-alarm fire in his apartment building.
As a condition of his parole, Sarkis was required to work 60 hours a week at the Walter E. Fernald Developmental Center.
[4] Following his guilty plea, deputy assistant attorney general Jack Keeney described Sarkis as "one of Boston's largest and most senior gambling ring operators" during a United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary hearing.
[13] Later that year, Sarkis, Ilario "Larry Baione" Zannino, Richard Assad, and Edward Lewis were arrested for allegedly running a three-county gambling ring.
