The Mafia, err excuse me, Union officials should have their assets confiscated for this.

How much of the money they received went to the Clinton foundation?

A little more information on the Central States plan ...

Hoffa was instrumental in using the assets of the Teamsters’ pension plans, particularly the Central States plan, to support Mafia projects, such as the development of Las Vegas in the 1950s and 1960s. Pension funds were loaned to finance Las Vegas casinos such as the Stardust Resort & Casino, the Fremont Hotel & Casino, the Desert Inn, the Dunes (hotel and casino) (which was controlled by Hoffa’s attorney, Morris Shenker), the Four Queens, the Aladdin Hotel & Casino, Circus Circus, and Caesars Palace. The pension fund also made a number of loans to associates and relatives of high-ranking Teamster officials.

it didn’t go wrong when the mob had the Teamsters account. It went wrong when the government took charge and forced it to be given to legitimate bankers. Just sayin’.
