I met Meyer Lansky -- I was about 12 years old, and my Dad and I were in the lobby of the Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, and Meyer was sitting on a couch holding his little dog in his lap - so my Dad said hello to him and he was cordial and pleasant - a nice little old Jewish man - we then walked away and when we were out of earshot my Dad told me who Meyer was - one of the most powerful men in the Mafia -- RIP Meyer and Dad

2:40. The expert stated that “the Mafia” was the Italian branch of organized crime but that it’s a misconception to state that Lansky and Jewish mobsters were in the Italian Mafia. So you and your dad were two of the examples when Mrs. Lansky stated how strangers often would greet Meyer.

My grandfather was in the diamond business in NY in the 30’s. He also owned and operated the jewelry store inside the Thunderbird Hotel from the day it opened in the real early days of Vegas that Litttle Meyer built (and ran). My mom remembers going to fancy formal galas in Vegas back then. She has fond memories of running around having fun with Meyer’s brother Jake’s kids, who were around her age, while daddy and the grownups were dressed up in black tie doing their thing. At 88, my mom still remembers those kids’ names. Turns out my Jewish immigrant grandfather, Jimmy - whose parents emigrated in the late 1800’s from Ukraine and settled in Brownsville, Brooklyn where Jimmy was born around 1904 - would eventually meet the Lanskys and somehow become “involved” with the general activity of the Kosher Nostra, as the Jewish mafia was sometimes called. Jimmy owned auction houses and jewelry stores in Vegas and southern Florida back then. He died of a heart attack on a golf course at the age of 55, so I never knew him. My family, including my mom, were always somehow naive to this entire situation while they lived it. I started asking questions years ago and one day I said, “Mom, your dad was in the mob, or at least closely associated. Didn’t you ever have an idea about this?” Nope, her answer was they were all lovely people and very kind to her and her daddy. She didn’t have a clue. I’m grateful to know more about these people. History like this gives me a glimpse at their humanity and helps me image what it must have been like to be my grandfather and namesake, James Mann.

No mention yet of the deal at the docks being crucial in establishing the 'French Connection'. Of course Italian-American mobsters try the BS line that they didn't touch narcotics, but Luciano had heroin processing plants in Sicily and with the Corsican and Marseilles mobsters - who aided their own state security services by strike-breaking and terrorising labour organisers/communists - moved the gear into the ports in the USA. The drugs were distributed in the ghettos and so there could be some level of plausible deniability on the part of the Italian-Americans, but many of them got rich off of it and any of these former mobsters who try and say that they weren't into it are lying to you, even if they weren't personally. How could they allow the most profitable racket in the country to profit without them at the very least taxing it? Anyway, interesting vid - Lansky was fascinating and due to his nature of keeping things on the DL, he flew under the radar and not as many people know who he is, but he was a crucial player of course.

Crime is just like any other business it’s a people based business meaning the most successful criminals needed people skills. I’m sure the majority of them were charming and charismatic. If you weren’t an enemy of theirs I doubt you’d ever see their dark side. They’d come across as great guys. Being a killer or a criminal doesn’t mean you don’t have manners, you don’t have respect, you don’t have charm. Those things probably make you an even better criminal.

Lansky was an example of an old school gangster who did it right. He wasn't in the business of violence but rather in the life for making money. These guys of his era grew up in abject poverty with nil opportunities in life, but they used the streets to be big somebodies with their brains and guts with little else to lose. They saw their parents and relatives immigrate here to work 10-15 hours a day, every day, only to stay poor, and they sought to do something better than that. One has to admire that being discriminated minorities with little chances to succeed by making their own luck, so to speak.
