Sonny is right. Here's what happened: Citizens of the former USSR had to carry internal passports that identified their republic of national origin, i.e., Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Beloruss, etc. But Jews had to carry passports stamped "Jew," no matter where they were born. That was a reflection of Stalin's bigotry--he called Jews "rootless cosmopolitans" (It also had an unintended consequence: it was dangerous to be a Jew in the USSR, but Stalin's bigotry forced Jews to remember who they were--he inadvertently kept Judaism alive in the USSR.) The Soviet economy began to crumble in the Brezhnev era. and a large-scale conterfeiting industry sprang up to produce "official" permits for businesses, etc. In 1974, the US passed the Jackson-Vanik Act, which gave the USSR favored nation trading status in return for letting Jewish citizens leave for Israel or America. Overnight, counterfeit internal passports stamped "Jew" became worth their weight in gold because they let the holder--often non-Jewish gangsters who ran the counterfeiting rackets--leave the USSR for richer territories. Today, Jews are probably a minority among the so-called "Russian Jewish Mafia" in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach. Funny example: some years ago the cops arrested the biggest "Russian Jewish" gangster in Brooklyn. His name was Marat Balagula. The laugh: "Marat" is not a Jewish surname, and "Balagula" is Yiddish slang for "bad guy" or "gangster." Evidently Marat forged his own phony internal passport and put "Balagula" on it to identify his profession.

BUG & MEYER GANG City: New York, Las Vegas, Miami Beach, Los Angeles, Phoenix and New Orleans Time Period: 1931-50's
1. Meyer Lansky (the boss) 2. Benjamin "Bugzy" Siegal (the underboss) 3. Morris "Moey" Sedway 4. Solly Solloway (brother-in-law of Bugzy) 5. Jacob "Jake" Lansky (brother of Meyer) 6. Hyman "Hymie" Segal 7. Gus Greenbaum (ran the gang from Phoenix, AZ) 8. Morrie Rosen (cousin of Bugzy) 9. Philip "Dandy Phil" Kastel (ran the gang from New Orleans) 10. Meyer "Mickey" Cohen (ran the gang in L.A. after Bugzy was killed in 1947) 11. Irving Glasser 12. Abe Gordon 13. Benjamin "Bernie" Stein 14. Harry Cohen 15. Morris Levy (Miami Beach member) 16. Charles Karpf (Miami Beach member) 17. Frank Satenstein (Miami Beach member) I question whether this was really a "gang." Lansky and Siegel did run a small gang in the teens and early Twenties, specializing in small arms and gambling, and, after hooking up with Rothstein, transporting booze. But after Prohibition, they split: Siegel to the West Coast and Nevada, Lansky to Saratoga Springs, NY, Hallandale FL and Havana. Bug and Meyer remained allies, but the people listed in the chart were more like allies and occasional associates of Lansky rather than members of a formal gang, as were the Purples or Murder Inc.

Guys, the American Mafia took its structure and hierarchy from its Sicilian antecedents. Jewish mobs were neighborhood-based: There was a boss, a few trusted associates (often blood relatives or close friends from childhood), and the rest were associates. Frequently, the associates plied their own rackets, but could be called on by the boss at a moment's notice. Lepke's Murder Inc. was a loosely organized bunch of thugs in Brooklyn who'd been into shakedowns, bootlegging, gambling, etc. Lepke brilliantly put them on salary, rather than paying them per hit. That way, they were free to continue their rackets but were on call to Lepke, exclusively. Had he paid them per hit, he'd have put himself in a bidding war with other gangsters that he could lose at any time,
After Prohibition, most Jewish mobs dispersed into "legitimate" rackets. Lansky, Siegel,Dalitz and others concentrated on legalized and semi-legalized gambling in the US and Cuba. There was no longer a need to keep together a large army of workers and muscle. Murder Inc. was busted up in 1940-41 and Lepke eventually went to the chair.
Barrett, see my post above about the so-called "Jewish" Russian Mafia.

Thank you for your post, Turnball. I know there were many Russian gangsters who claimed to be of the Jewish faith while coming to America, but I'd say out of all of them that said they were, maybe 40% of them were really Russian Jews. I don't know the two Brighten Beach mobsters off hand, but former Colombo Family capo, Michael Franzese mentioned them in his most recent book. The book is called "Blood Covenant." If you haven't heard of this book, It's a must read. Michael said these two Russian hoods, who belonged to the Russian Mob were being shaken down by some Cosa Nostra soldiers, so Michael backed them up, and took them under his wing, of course they had to pay Michael off for helping them, and give him a piece of what ever criminal activites they were involved with. Michael also said these two men were definitely Jewish. Also, some how you have 17 members as being in the Bug & Meyer Gang, when there's actually 19 on my list.

Let's talk the Admins into letting me change the person's name on number six on the Murder Inc. chart. By mistake I put Vincent Mangano, the leader of the Mangano family, but I meant to put Vito Gurino instead. You don't need to talk anyone into letting you change that name. As long as this isn't going to be an ongoing correction just PM me and I'll change the settings so you can make corrections. I'd just ask that you proofread your messages like this before they "time out" for you to make corrections. The system needs to be adjusted and it's not just pushing a button. Fair enough? BTW- Did you make this chart or did you copy it from the Real Deal Forum? (just curious)

I made it, but somebody from real deal copied from me, and my friend Ld sent me it in an email. I wasn't upset over it being copied. When I make something It doesn't bother me if It's copied, that's what the net is for. I somewhat disagree. When copying and posting a work somebody else has done, the original source should be mentioned. Maybe the source invested time, hard work and dedication into it. It´s about ethics and giving credit where credit´s due. ("where credit´s due", is that the way you say it?)

Anybody else want me to add somebody you think is missing from the charts, let me know. I'll add him if he was a member, once I'm able.

I think he was an associate of the LCN in Cleveland only, but you could be right. I'll check.

So is it your chart originally or isn't it?

There were a few guys he added to it, so I included him as a co-maker.
Hope it helpsya.
Except in your original post here, you left yourself off and only credited MobFan. All good NJBoy. Just pointing out the obvious. Well, what should be obvious. Oh...good chart, too. Did I mention that?
