    Meyer's step-son (Gussaroff) told me stories of growing up in NY and how Uncle Meyer had his knuckles hammered as a lesson for taking too much off the top of his daily runs. An effective lesson from the appearance of his hands.

    This was fantastic. Really summed up the guy’s life.
    As a kid in Brooklyn (I’m 67 now), my Italian buddies…and I had a lot of them…would give a wink-wink and kind of brag about how tough the Italian mafia was.
    As a Jew, I would always bring up Lansky being the SMART one. (As it turns out, many early Jewish gangsters WERE brutal, including Murder Incorporated, who La Cosa Nostra often hired to do hits.)
    Little did I know about the final chapter in Lansky’s life, the myth being much bigger than the reality, until I watched this just now!

      There is a couple of films about them or including them..sadly the biography ones of Lansky aren't that good. A real good one is Bugsy, which focuses more on Ben Siegel, but Lansky and Luciano play a big role in his life story. Also, Mobsters (1991) shows their rise to power. And then there are two Lansky movies, one w Richard Dreyfus and one with Harvey Keitel. Sadly, they both aren't great. Luciano has an Italian film made about him from 73.

    Times came and went my dad stayed in touch with all those guys. So one day about 6 months before Siegel died my dad was sent out with a warning to pay attention and stop trying to be a star. The construction costs of the Flamingo were going up, lots of stuff was stolen. He said that some people think you are stealing from them too. Plus he was in the papers too much.
    He said, yeah that's what Meyer was hinting at last month. He said he had to get on the ball, but he didn't.
    They went out to dinner that night. My dad stayed a week for free and that was that.

    Read a biography on ML. Written by that British dude, I think. His finances were very murky. His whole life was cash money, no records. In my judgement he was a man who could GET money, but he didn't HAVE a lot of money. And of course he sunk every dollar into the Riviera in Havana- and lost it. FRom 1960 to 1983 his every movement and every communication was monitored by the FBI. What could he do?
    I think this doc is meant to dispel some of the myths surrounding all of organized crime. They don't have power because they are rich. They have power because people fear them.

    Once everything crashed in Havana. The government was upset and the elites wanted the money they lost! Lansky was unfortunately used by the Government until he had nothing left to give. He did good if you ask me. Lived like a king for some time, avoided doing any hard time in prison and was able to keep his mouth shut 🤫. As a mobster Lansky was a solid representation of that.

      Agreed. Castro seized Meyer's fortune and he never recovered from that.. He was very wise and very disciplined too. He never did hard time, like you mentioned, and he was never whacked. Usually, those are the only 2 options for a mobster. According to certain sources, he only had $35,000 dollars to his name when he died. I guess he also owned a small percentage of some casinos in Las Vegas but who knows.

    "The oldest of whom, Buddy, suffered from cerebral palsy, otherwhise life was good"... Honestly??? The same applies to me, so thank you for nothing... I bet the guy had all the funds necessary to provide good care for Buddy in all forms needed.

    This was hard for me to listen to. My grandpa was killed by Meyer Lansky because he would not pay protection medicine. They knocked out my grandpa and drove a truck over his head. My dad was jewish.

      @phann860, gotcha. I just picked up a WW2 surplus M1, a Winchester no less, in fantastic condition for a military surplus. I think it’s been sitting in an armory in Africa for decades. Anyway, stoked to own it.
