  • Gatsby knows the guy who was behind the World Series disaster (taking gamblers money) 
  • Gatsby has been next to dead people, he's a very mysterious man
  • Gatsby and Daisy were once in love before she met Tom
  • Tom's been cheating on Daisy since they got back from the honeymoon
  • "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay."
