- Meyer Lansky. He has been called the accountant of the Mafia and the financial genius of the criminal underworld. His fortune at the height of his power was estimated at $300 million, and he was the second man in the national crime syndicate, which united all the key gangsters of the country.
This is the legend of Meyer Lansky, created by journalists and law enforcement. If you are curious to know what is true and what was created to sell more newspapers, then please welcome, Meyer Lansky, on the other side of the law.
The original source:
"Meyer Lansky" - Robert Lacey
He overcame every obstacle. What a man
He was a criminal
My father met Meyer in Cuba and always spoke highly of him. He was a quiet, wise, well respected man, whose word was his bond. I personally met him in 1973 in Miami, Florida during one of his many trials. He remembered meeting my father in detail although that had been in 1955. RIP Meyer.
😂😂😂🤫 cap
Crazy
Every organized criminal syndicate needs a financial genius. Prevents ( IRS ) issues. Increasing legitimate business opportunities over shadowing the illegitimate ones. Keeping a respectable low profile kept Lansky under the radar. Las Vegas was his El Dorado. As was Havana for a short duration of time. All in all till his legal problems started to haunt him. He never went without.
God bless you, sir. R.I.P.😑🙏
I highly recommend the books gangsters vs. Natzis it a book about the Jewish gangsters cracking down on Natzi supporters in the USA in the 30s
Well thanks to the nazis we have the israeli martial art form of Krav Maga which was made just for use against them
Sounds good
Wow!
It's Cosa Nostra not Costa Nostra
Just saying
He messed up a lot of pronunciations, did you hear him with Luciano? 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lots of clips from the movie "Lansky" starring Harvey Keitel. Good movie but slow pacing, lots of extraneous subplots but Keitel was excellent.
Agreed. Movie was just whatever but Keitel was great in it.
A true guido
One nation under Blackmail.
Genius
What about all his interests in the Bahamas or the casinos the Cellini brothers ram for him including in London in the 50’s 60’ and early 70’s
Where can we find more detailed info on Myers affairs in the Bahamas. Although it was never proven, I'd like to know if there are more details on Myer's involvement in sir Harry Oakes murder who was at the time the richest man in the world living in the Bahamas and the biggest opponent to the Mafia starting casinos in the country.
@@meadprogoogle it mate you’ll find something of interest it might just take a little searching just don’t use wiki lol
🦁🦁🦁🦁
Uncle Mayer was at my house when I was born he masterminded the Lufthansa heist Anthony Luciano raimondi
Great and wise in criminal activity , now they all lay in the world of the dead condemned by their own evil doing
hyman roth
😂😂
Lots of guess work and "government " information. You didnt mention that almost anyone he met liked and trusted him, if not loved him. In an environment of monsters he was not a monster.
🏴
There is literally nothing new to say about this man we already don't know
Why you watch then
@@tyronmcdaniel5372 who said I WATCHED them...I don't need to because I knew about everything important mafia wise BEFORE the CZcams boom my guy
You should check out the 60 Minutes segment from the 80's when they did a story on Meyer and interviewed his wife, if you haven't seen it, as it's a great segment to scope even for people who seemingly read everything about the man.
@citypopradioFM I'm being sarcastic..lol..I'm pretty sure I or we don't know EVERYTHING but it's just so much material out there especially via you tube..we probably do but I will check it out
sonds meyer was a good guy and a victim of circumstances and ati-semitism
lmao some of the shit ppl say on youtube xD
Blaming antisemitism is crazy since Luciano himself treated Meyer like a brother and equal peer in a time when Jewish folks weren't given any influence in that world. If anything, he's a victim of Israel who denied his right of return when he was always a proud Jew.
@@citypopradioFM well, pride goeth before a fall. if he was so proud of being jewish he shouldn't have asked the israeli authortities to cover for him.
You gotta do George Jung
Roger Reeves look him up he had a hell of a life to check out one of his interviews
@@slabbusterrtr7690 I’ll check him out cheers mate
So I did a quick Google search to figure out what 300 million back then would be worth today. And yeah, he would have been like Donald Trump rich.
More like Elon musk rich.
YOU MUST HAVE A NEPHEW, SINCE YOU WERE VERY CLOSE*( TO LUCKY)*, SINCE THERE IS NO DESCENDENT OF HIS, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ITALIANS WOULD SAY, IT IS ABOUT "" LUCKY""" AFTER ALL, AND THE MONNEY, AND MY *( MYSTIQUAL )* FAMILY, THAT I THINK I HAVE, IN ( US), IT IS ABOUT THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, --- ALEXANDER--- BELGRADE
God bless Israel always 🙏
you don't know what you talking about Białoruś was Poland ask Mayer what's his nationality he said polish 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
seriously check what you gossip before knowing who you gossip about 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
These fake historians never say why they were hated..
Meyer eshewed violence and stayed under the radar to make money for everyone. Why would he be hated when he came from literally nothing to succeed at the highest levels of that world without being a killer? He made his wealth from gambling and casinos when those things are largely legal now lol. He's an admirable man.
There is no Palestine.
Free Palestine
No such place.
Nakba😂😂😂
Palestine, it was always Israel!
@@stefano1405 🤣🤡
Israeli have been kicked out everywhere they went. They decided to take Palestine illegally! Freedom for Palestine always! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Forget about it!👊🤣🤣🤣😎💵💵💵💵💵🚬🍻🎩😎
Not much of a money genius considering his kids and grandkids very little left over
Most of that money was gone due to paying legal fees.
@@p.j._statenOr he hid it since he was a genuine financial genius. Even the feds went into denial about his hidden wealth by saying he owned people instead of bank accounts, when the former is certainly true to some respect due to his respect among people, but he certainly put his riches away in Swiss bank accounts, trusts, and other proxies. His last days were spent being rich in Miami when the feds watched everything he did to find his money and he never lived life without being obviously rich.
