I'm sure anyone interested in the history has seen the photo, but the below article has a news clipping that maybe some haven't seen

The news clipping reports what was found on the subjects:
Luciano: $46,655 accounts receivable statement & $900 cash
Lansky: $250 cash
Others: $100+ cash each

$46,655 = $900k in 2021
$900 = $17.5k in 2021
$250 = $4.9k in 2021

Also stated in the news clipping:
Luciano & Lansky said they were gamblers
Ricca former Genna gangster (Genna was murdered 7 years ago)
Harry Brown a race track (can't make out other word?)
Sylvester Agoglia former Genna gangster
John Senna alleged follower of Bug Moran North Side Gang (by this time Moran's influence should've been over)
Lieut. Kelly & Sergt. Wachholz overheard Luciano receive 30 phone calls in 2 hours pertaining to Detroit shipments, airplanes, steamships, and the mention of Joe Fusco, Capone's right hand man (Joe Fusco died comfortably in a Hilton Suite in 1976)
"The visit might mean anything from a kidnapping scheme to attempts to incroach upon the booze realm of Capone" (lol)

This has always been one of my favorite photos, as I've always been interested in the Luciano/Lansky/Ricca relationship
I think their relationship was an important stone in a National Mob that was separate from any ethnically exclusive organization, and I think their influence was dominate in that Mob up until the 1950s when Lansky lost his gamble on Cuba, Genovese broke the order in NY, and Ricca began is legal woes

I also want to bump this old thread that I found on this subject that I really enjoyed reading:
NY/Chicago Mob Meeting 1932

If anyone else has any more info on this picture, or this period, please share!

Interesting articles

Decided to do some digging on one the lesser known in the photo: "Harry Brown"
Anyone know much about him?
I can't find much on him for being in such a famous photo

What some files I could find state:

Harry Brown is an alias for Raymond Bralynski
Brother of Edward Bralynski who had a heart attack in 1960


Has a piece of the Plaza Hotel in Havana with Bruno and Ippolito
Controls the nickelodeons(name of resorts?) in Cuba with Ippolito
Owns the land on which the Luau Restaurant and North Bay Village were built


Bruno observed at Luau Restaurant
Real estate dealings with Bruno


Bruno's wife states Bruno was in business with "Brownie" and Ippolito
NJ Governor knew "Brownie" and Ippolito
Description of tall, blond, good-looking, so "Brownie" definitely Edward, not Raymond


Asked about Bruno


Snippet from online article I found stating Bralynski brothers were in real estate deals with Ridolfi (NJ senate)
Association with Bruno and Johnny Keys Simone

Wanted to also mention that the "John Senna" in the photo is believed to actually be Rocco Fischetti

"Harry Brown" also arrested in Miami with Joe Masseria, Luciano, and 14 others
Newspaper says he's from Miami instead of NJ
This was 2 years before the photo
Awesome article on the arrests

Newspaper:

Article Link

This article states Harry Ducket as another name for the "Harry Brown" in the photo, and hints he was Sicilian
No clue where this article got its sources

It is not "believed", thats really Rocco Fischetti. Great stuff btw and thanks again.

Back in the days there used to be some info regarding "Harry Brown", meaning it was possible that he also used an alias and thanks to you, he really did. Cheers again.

The Fischetti proof...





Same guy, different hat. lol

It's an interesting year 1932, Lansky joined Johnny Torrio, Lucky Luciano, and Albert Anastasia in creating the National Crime Syndicate.
The picture shows the importance of Chicago.

Definitely same guy in those pics Toodoped!

@Hollander
I agree completely on how the photo shows how important Chicago was
Also feeds a little into the theory that Luciano Group and Outfit were intertwined at the top
Story of Fischetti's giving Luciano a briefcase of $2m kind of feed into same theory too

I really wonder if the "Harry Brown" in the photo, the Raymond Bralynski in FBI files, and the "Sicilian" Harry Duckett are the same people or not!
Interesting that he was so connected to the Philly greaser gang

Also the "rumor" regarding Sinatra being used by the Fischettis as bagman, also might be true. After all one informant stated "Sinatra is Fischetti".

I think it's so funny the newspaper pegged Rocco as an alleged follower of Bug Moran North Side Gang hahaha

An informant thought Genovese and Fischetti were most powerful Italians in 1956 (and Fischetti was stronger):


Key words though: "informant thought", but makes you wonder haha

Yeah Ive seen that file and theres another one, possibly from the same NY informant, in which he mentiones Rocco Fischetti as one of Chicago's semi-retired bosses while explaining that Chicago was somehow different than the NY families by having a special position for the semi-retired high level guys who still received income from the organization.

I think the NY informant mightve been from the old days and probably confused or mixed up the years and individuals, since the Fischettis were in charge of the Outfit during the mid 1940s, especially Charlie Fish. By 1956 Ricca and Accardo ruled the Outfit, while Charlie died back in 1950 or 51. Rocco remained as official capo until he became in debt of his underling and prime lieutenant Les Kruse who in turn later became the unofficial leader of Roccos crew, obviously because he was non-Italian.
