Meyer Lansky

Book Summary   by:shay3434     Original Author: shay3434

Meyer Lansky is one of the must famous gangsters that develop the mafia into the United States. He was born in Grodno for Polish Jewish parents and became well known criminal. Meyer Lansky was a genius with money and formed an organization that called “Murder Inc” and he was probably involved in hundreds of murders. He was also involved in crimes like sells of alcoholic beverage, prostitution and more… In 1970 he was almost caught by the government after investigation that was conducted against him on charges of tax evasion in the United States. But he succeed to run away to Israel and to hide in there. However, the Israelis refused to protect of this criminal (although he was Jewish) and sent him back to Miami, Florida. He died in Miami in 1983 of lung cancer. I founded Meyer Lansky story really interesting. It’s a story of very devious smooth and smart men that succeed, became famous and made fortune (reportedly, more then 400 million US dollars) with his crimes and pure evil that scared lots of people. I wrote this abstract on Meyer Lansky, not because I like him or support him. Only because his story is really fascinating and he raised me some thoughts about all the mafias issue, mobsters, gangsters and so forth…
