    If he didn't steal money from investors in the Flamingo? he might have lived as long as Meyer Lansky did!! Also, not keeping a low profile worked against him as well!!

      So you're trying to imply/brag that your uncle was a gangster back in the 30's & 40's which would make you what? 80-90 yrs old?

      this is a part of history (i don't think they;re promoting or justifying the criminal aspect as a positive ), organized crime, mobsters do they business in secret they don't promote it to the public, rap music & videos is played on the radio etc., and sold everywhere in the open for anyone to buy or view, i don't think all rap music is a negative influence (depends on the artist), & on the lyrics, profanity, indecency, degradation, violence, however, i do see what you're saying, they;'re paying homage to a murderer because he had a brilliant idea to develop a piece of land where no one wanted to build, so I think they're promoting his ingenuity for business, not his criminal actions/conduct: like bugsy said: "everyone deserves a fresh start once in a while" (that is if it's not to late, sooner or later your past will catch up to you & you'll have to pay the consequences)

    Why are all these commentators referring to Siegel as bugsy, it wasn’t even his name?
