Wasn't there a Jewish guy that was a big wheel with the mob in California. Mickey Cohen, maybe?

EDIT: I looked up Mickey Cohen on the 'Net. That's my guess.

OK: "Eddie Levine of Newport" was really Eddie Levinson of Lexington, KY, a city that served as Cincinnati's vice hub. Levinson was one of Lansky's partners in Cuba.
Q. Who succeeded Dion O'Banion as head of Chicago's Northside gang?

Lexington never seemed to me to be a vice hub...even though it has the horse racing....on the contrary, Newport/Covington Ky has always been the fleshpot because the bluebloods kept the vice out of the Queen City. Hmmmmm

A: Bugs Moran

Q: What mobster left the east to start a gambling haven in Hot Springs, Arkansas and what is he more well known for?

You're right, Don Tissinno--I meant Covington, not Lexington. My error.
Owney Madden, NYC beer baron and proprietor of the Cotton Club, left NYC after Prohibition to pursue gambling in Hot Springs.

My earlier question still stands: Who succeeded Dion O'Banion as leader of Chicago's Northside gang (wasn't Bugs Moran, it was the guy before him)?

A: Hymie Weiss

Q: Who managed to get Paul Ricca out of jail after 3 years when he was supposed to have served 10? He was not a member of the Outfit.

A complicated story, but: Ricca got 10 years for extortion. He also had tax evasion and mail fraud cases pending against him, which prevented him from being paroled. Eugene Bernstein, a tax lawyer, arranged to pay off the tax debt, so that case was dropped. Then Paul Dillon, a Missouri lawyer who was tight with the Kansas City Pendergast machine that sponsored Harry Truman's career, arranged for the mail fraud case to be dismissed (supposedly by promising Truman's Attorney General, Tom Clark, that he'd be named to a Supreme Court seat). Then Dillon supposedly arranged for the parole board to spring Ricca.

New question: Ricca's extortion conviction stemmed from Mob domination of the Movie Projectionists' Union. Which gangster was the original corrupter of that union (hint: New Yorker)?

Good, but Tom Clarke would have done!

I believe Ricca took control from some unions previously controlled by New York families so I wud say Luciano? Do I deserve to ask another question?!

Actually, Louis (Lepke) Bucholter first penetrated the Projectionists Union.
Go ahead, Accardo: You always ask good questions.

Thanks Turnbull! Here's an easy one though (coz I don't think I deserve one after not being specific enough on the last Q!)

Q: What famous mobsters death was strikingly reminiscent of the murder of one Moe Green in Godfather I?

Bugsy Siegel.
Q. Which Hollywood actor was a pal of Siegel's, and had been a driver and go-fer for gangsters before becoming an actor?

Geogre Raft
Q. Frank Sinatra's close friend in the Mob, also known as "Momo"

GoodFella

Sam Giancana.
Q. Which NJ mobster allegedly helped Sinatra get out of his contract with Tommy Dorsey, and thus served as the model for Luca Brasi?

Willie Moretti??

If right then, Who was the gangster who beat his former partner almost to death with a baseball bat, and then after said partner recovered let him back into his crew.

Turnbull: sorry, wrong!

Although Moe greens character was undoubtably based on 'Benny', the question was about his death. Benny died in his home whereas Albert Anastasia was murdered in a barbershop. I suppose it was a kinda trick Q when u think about it!

MB: The only two gangsters I know who ever used baseball bats were Al Capone and 'Joe Batters' himself. Was it any of these?

Accardo, the key to Moe Green getting killed was him being shot in the eye. When Seigel was shot he was also shot in the eye.

Nope on the guess about the bat

HINT: this made man of one of the five families did hid deed in Florida...

Fair enough but it wasn't just one shot to the eye like in GF I, it was about 5 shots with one just happening to blow that portion of his face off! I guess I should have mentioned the setting of the murder but that would have given it away I think!
Haven't got a clue about the baseball gangster but that story does seem vaguely familiar! Turnbull........?!

Tommy Agro of the Gambino family beat up Joe (Dogs) Iannuzzi with a baseball bat, then let him back. Dogs turned rat and helped the FBI.
Q. Who were the three (repeat, three) men that Capone beat with a baseball bat?

A: Well there are the obvious two feared Sicillian assasins - Anselmi and Scalise and there was the less known Joseph Guinta. Al killed them after realising they were conspiring against him.

Q: For what two Outfit bosses did "Mooney" Giancana start his career off by being their driver?

he was the Driver/Bodyguard of Al Capone.
Q. he is the first and only Mobster who was electrocuted in an electric chair.

GoodFella

A. Louis (Lepke) Bucholter.
Q. Who was Lepke's partner and second-in-command?
[Note to Accardo: Anastasia died in a barber chair; Moe Green died on a massage table.)

Goodfella there were two bosses I wanted (and stated in the question!).

Good luck, I'm off for the weekend now, have a good one guys!

Jacob Shapiro?
If so- What was Lucky Luciano's real name?(and I'm not looking for Charlie)

BTW-Moe Green isnt real :p

Salvatore Lucania.
Q. What was Frank Costello's real name?

(Gosh, Moe Green isn't a real person???? )

Francesco Castiglia
What was found 10 feet fron Bugsy Seigal when he was killed?

his eye

Your turn to ask a question, Don Pope.

Q: this mob boss was shot by an afican-american in the middle of a public place.

Joe Colombo

Q - Who was the exiled head of the Sicilian Commission later to become a Turncoat?

Tommaso Buscetta.
Q. Which Sicilian Mafia boss in the early years of the last century established ties with the New York Mafia?

Vito Cascio Ferro

Q - Who was the street boss of the Sicilian faction of the Bonanno Family in the late 70's/80's?

PS. Turnbull I realised I mixed up Badamenti and Buscetta in my last question. But you did get the answer I was looking for. Badalamenti was the exiled head, Buscetta was the high ranking turncoat.
