Article in NY Daily News about Meyer Lansky

FYI

Lanky had power right up until the day he died

I think it was more influence than power. Other than the Cuban casinos and some investments in similar ventures in Florida and Vegas, Lansky was more or less out of the life by the time of his twilight years.

Great pics in that article.

Read the article. So many of those stories sound bogus.

I didnt read the article...but ya gotta consider the source, most mob daughters will always defend their dads to the death and will also try to make them seem like saints.

Agree. I remember years ago I think it was Giancana's daughter was saying how she thinks her moms ex-bf was killed by Giancana so he could date her mom. She said it in a proud way like "that's true love". Absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, I would definitely take any of what she says with a grain of salt. She was pretty much ostracized from the rest of the family upon Meyer's death and was seen as wild and lived a reckless lifestyle.

Great find

Yes that was a very good find. It's always interesting reading stuff on the mafia legends, Even if some of the stuff is a little far fetched due to close relationships. Meyer Lansky in my opinion is one of the most interesting people in LCN history.
