Michael Zegen is a horrible actor...he sucks in Marvelous Ms Maisel too. A real infamous mobster but also a bit "overrated" regarding credit for Vegas...when he was really just carrying out Lansky's vision....then again, he was an attractive male with Hollywood connections hence is accredited with everything Vegas. His "fast-paced checkers" style is eventually what got him killed with the endorsement of his childhood friend Lansky...who was playing chess all along...

The narrator mentions Siegel was friends with Al Capone but never mentions his relationship with Landky or Luchiano…..Odd.

[@jonathanhansen3709]

The Moe Greenberg character in The Godfather is supposedly based on Siegel. Greenberg built and runs the Casino the Corleones financed, and has the personality and quick temper of Ben Siegel. Of course at the end of the movie he’s shot through the eye as was Bugsy.

[@jahrules8674]

Green...ur just a misinformed as she

[@joet7469]

Nobody would call him Bugsy to his face.

[@trinihammer]

not even tough Mafiosi at that time albert Anastasia,vito Genovese,joe Adonis or the legendary carlo Gambino would call him bugsey to his face as that was certainly to be met with some sort of aggressive retaliation by siegel. at best a smack in the mouth or at worst a bullet in the head.

he was the mentor of lucky and lansky. not siegel. siegel was in all reality lanskys bodyguard who also doubled up as a hit man and one of the top hit men in new York siegel was known in underworld circles that he was a hit man for hire.

[@deanarupe73]

I think it was his girlfriend's brother not the mob that killed Siegel. There is a witness who worked for the Flamingo as a dealer who said he was introduced to Virginia's ( Siegel's girlfriend) brother. Her brother was a Marine sharpshooter). It was said that Siegel beat her up and the brother was pissed. The witness heard the brother say I'm going to kill him. Virginia just happened to disappear when it happened. She went to Paris so she wouldn't be around when it happened. The shots were through the window and the mafia would usually just shoot up close in the back of the head to make sure your dead. The brother theory makes a little more sense. But then again the people that really know are dead now so we probably will never know the truth.

[@JoeSmith-dl9ok]

Bugsy got killed because of the flamingo hotel he was in 5mill debt from the American mob so lucky Luciano any lankeys put the hit out on bugsy even though they was childhood friends...

[@artfuldodger9312]

Alux.com - His name was Benjamin Siegel - not "Bugsy". You wouldn't call him that name to his face.

[@lloydreife2041]

It's called "Murder, Incorporated" , not "inc." Headquarters was at Midnight Rosies' candy store, on Saratoga and Livonia in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

"Inc." is short for "incorporated"

[@EstehWey]

He also participated in the maranzano hit

[@trinihammer]

wrong. he participated in the joe masseria hit. but may have instructed the hit men who whacked maranzano.

[@trinihammer]

@@EstehWeylet me give you the lowdown. joe maseria was hit by four gunmen. the four gunmen were ben siegel,vito geneovese, albert Anastasia and joe Adonis. sal maranzano was whacked by once again four gunmen. now the only certain things were that two of the four gunmen on the maranzano hit were sam red levine and bo Weinberg, who the other two gunmen were is not known but what is for sure is that it wasn't ben siegel. the reason bugsey siegel was not actively participating on that hit was because he was known. lansky says in his book and Luciano says in his book that they wanted four gunmen who were not known to the Italian mafia. siegel was well known in Italian mafia circles due to his close connection with lucky Luciano. the four gunmen were to dress up like police officers and enter maranzano offices in order to inspect or to collect his accounting books and then they were to stab him however maranzano was pretty tough and he wouldn't go without a fight so they had to end up shooting him. Now it is quite possible that bugsey siegel hand picked the four gunmen and may have coached them on what was to be done but he didn't actively take part in the hit. these version of events was corroborated by joe valachi in his book the valachi papers. now remember what we all know now about the mob back in the 1920s and 1930s was first enlightened to us by valachi. before 1962 no one knew anything about maranzano,masseria,luciano lansky or siegel for that matter until Valachi talked and dotted the i's and t's. don't get me wrong law enforcement knew these guys were HOODS in some way but how and in what way they didn't know until valachi talked. after valachi talked the floodgates opened and now it is all common knowledge.

Not true. There were several made about Jewish mobsters and they were also depicted in tv series such as THE UNTOUCHABLES. Warren Beatty depicted Siegel and some of his Jewish cronies in BUGSY. David Janssen portrayed Jewish mobster Arnold Rothstein and his associates in a 1960s film. .

[@alfred1800]

Many false facts. Bugsy was killed by the commission (Atlantic City)... Bad job portraying Siegel's story @alux

[@Topearner11]

the commission is actually the 5 families of NY once upon a time. Also it was said that virginia hill was skimming off the top up to 3 million and flying overseas to hide the cash with bugsy approval, other theories emerged that Lansky and Costello ordered the hit to take over Cuba and Vegas gambling operations all together, with Lucianos approval

[@mikeymike4329]

Bugsy's murder was okayed in the Cuba meeting 1946. Then he was murderd in his Hollywood home later that year. Atlantic City meeting was in 1929. And had nothing to do with Bugsy's murder.

[@alfred1800]

Mike Polcar correct, but Atlantic City is also another name for the commission

[@alfred1800]

Eric T “once upon a time” the five families are still active.

[@Topearner11]

@@alfred1800 Atlantic city was never owned by one person . Enoch gracefully divi up portions of the profits between the Commision the 5 families. And the head of the commsion would get a large portion. I say once upon a time because gullani kicked some ass on the 80s . It'll never be like before . Rip to the real players.
