I always wondered what happens to these guys' money when they die. Examples: Lucky Luciano, Don Carlo, Albert Anastasia, John Gotti, etc... Luciano wasn't married, who did he leave his fortune to? Guys like Anastasia and Gambino, are their families set for life for generations to come? These guys are multi-millionaires illegally and a little legally. Wouldn't the IRS be watching their family's bank accounts and financial activity following the man's death? Does some offshore bank swallow all of this money? Everyone knows that when Lansky died he had no money, but what about the other guys? I apologize in advance if this has been covered in the past, but I couldn't find anything using the search.
I think back in the old days the top money men (Luciano, Lansky, Costello, et al) were sending laundered money to Switzerland. So if they didn't have a method of having a family member getting access to it, that's where it stayed.
