It's still a mystery to me that a guy like Lansky in fact "seemed" to have hardly any money left when he died.

It was estimated that his net worth was about 100 million. Some people interpretated that this was his money. My interpretation is that it was probably the money his criminal associates owned for him to have access to. But since none of it was on his name, when he died, there was hardly any money left for his family.

But I'm stealing this topic here. This is a whole other subject. smile
