Hoover was an embarrassment and a stain on the Department of Justice. He gets some credit for founding the FBI, but he stayed in his position way longer than he should have.

And what evidence do you have that that is true. Because it has been proved that he actually did nothing as he didn't have the connections and power that the gilovernment thought he had in sicillly. He was only released because Lansky pretended that only lucky could get those in control of the docks to protect the ships against the Germans/Nazus. When in reality, they already including kanjsky, who was a Jew, would have protected the docks against the Germans anyway. It was just a scam by lansky to get Lucky out of jail.

Good documentary but no mention of Bugsy Siegel the main hitman for Lucky and Lansky. He also eliminated fellow Jewish rivals under the loyalty towards his two friends. Bugsy was the main character behind the buildup of Las Vegas (Flamingo). He was the only person in this trio of friends who didn't die a natural death and was assassinated in Las Vegas through the window of his sitting room. He had looks of a Hollywood star and was known as a ladies man. Whether these guys were good or bad, it is matter of personal opinion. I just wanted to add something interesting here about Luciano. The reason he was called Lucky. He survived a near fatal beating by his rivals (that left him with a paralyzed eyelid) and that he once got lucky with a policeman's daughter.

For some reason, most of the Italian immigrants who came to where I grew up (before my time) anglicized their names upon moving to America. I can’t remember exactly which year, but my grandfather came here from Frosinone, Italy in the early 1900s and changed his last name from “DePastina” to “Pastine”. Most Italians who came here to work for the coal company did the same. I don’t know if this was to simplify spellings, or if it was to avoid being treated poorly, as most Italians were at the time. I have some relatives who are surnamed “Mastroguiseppe”, but we called them “the Mastrojoes” back when I was a kid to make it easier.

[@geoffreybennett8912]

He turned it into a business, and that is what makes him the true king of the gangsters and is now studied in law enforcement circles. He was right about the heroin, but he was not as keen on the cocain when it arrived because he felt that because the effects didn't last long, he could see that the people who were using it would be committing more and more crime to feed their habits and he knew it was addictive because he had seen people who were taking it go from normal people to chasing the drug like a greyhound chasing a rabbit. And he was right when he said that if it was imported in large quantities, it would become a problem for the soldiers because they thought it wasn't addictive and it proved true by the 80s and into the nineties and led to many convictions of high ranking. But it was R.I.C.O. that finally came after them and they are not as powerful as they used to be, but they have plenty of legitimate ways to make money now,and the loyalty of the past is a long way in the past.

The burning question is what was the driving force behind Lucky? He was single, so no family to look after financially and he would struggle to spend 00.1% of his share to life his life style. It’s possible he Had illegitimate children although no mention in any videos. It is most likely that he was driven by the challenge and the ultimate power he obtained. The mind boggling part is that, once they made their first $40 Billion they could have stoped the illegal business part and started a normal successful Multi National business (other than drugs) Even owned GM and perhaps a legal drug company or whatever and never paid a Penny in Tax due to expenses. All the Capo’s and soldiers well paid and they would pay Taxes and invest in a Superfund for retirement, Health Care even owned an Insurance company.

Charles LL; Sempre imitado, nunca superado.

[@stevenkempner3912]

I'm well versed on this subject and as the saying goes for example any company or organization which has been around for decades or a century surviving bad economies those who do is because of whom they surround themselves with. Being fron Lansky's tribe Charlie was the man. Meyer and his associates when teaming up obviosly knew never to be made. Did it really matter? Charlie was the mam but he knew people and like the frienship going back so long that was Lansky as well. Hands down the best, most respected and feared tandom ever never to be replicated. In many ways bigger than our own government which in fact if wanting to could have shut it down. I feel compelled to vent because understanding overtime things change and with change the one's who survive adapt adjusting on the fly. Sure survellance, laws have changed but with their intelligence and methodically without knee jerk reactions those two could have. Another reason for the book i'm writing is whenever John Gotti's name is mentioned who never could fill Charlie or Meyers Jock. Best I stop writing... this without a dubt one of the finest videos ever produced.

They couldn't have shut the government down 🤡

[@jayrodriguez9211]

[@anthonylafayette4385]

Meyer Lansky had more influence and power than most made men in the mob.

[@stevenevangelist5221]

They sent him back to Italy. Yet he returned secretly. Nobody ever knew that.

[@Paddymayne4738]

Admiring his brilliance is not excusing his wrong doings as a gangster, most of all the drug business. The excuse that someone else will do it, doesn’t wash as 5hat is 5heir problem. He could have ran the Prostitution ring clean and drug free, and looked after the girls, physically, mentally, Healthy and financially. The result may have been very different in the court room. Even the real smart ones get it wrong and drugs are very wrong, followed by Cigarettes and Vapes today.

All of this is in The Godfather II. Only those who haven't seen The Godfather II ask for a Scorsese's movie depicting this!

Lucky has got 1 eye like me, lol😇😇😇😇

[@VitoDonnatuccijr]

That eye gave him a very intimidating stare .,. His mugshots look like the face of a killer even though killers don't have a specific look, he just looks like someone you don't wanna f*ck with

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

If you guys are talking about his 1 eye that isn't straight, lazy eye w.e, you can fix it easily, I had it once too. Strabismus (eye muscle) surgery. And exotropia

Brilhante carreira

[@jameshurst6119]

I don't idealize thugs

[@tr7b410]

Thank you.I briefly watched X Mafia King pin Micheal Franceze talk about the millions he made thru his gas stations & owned his own Learjet. I don't think it's any coincidence when he got out of prison he became a born-again Christian minister replete with another tax free career=SAME OLD ANGLE. And people idolize these unprincipled thugs.
