  • 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.

    "Meyer Lansky" - Robert Lacey

    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.

    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.

    Lots of clips from the movie "Lansky" starring Harvey Keitel. Good movie but slow pacing, lots of extraneous subplots but Keitel was excellent.

      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.
