People don't realize how impressive Lansky's network was, and this is just the United States
100%!
I always had a decent amount of background on Lansky. But it wasn't until I started researching his crew for our website's "Meyer Lansky Syndicate Chart" that I realized the actual size of his crew, and his/their related interlocking network.

Giacalone, awhile back. we started a "Jewish Mob" page on our site which has since grown substantially in size with bios about many top guys. We also expand it regularly with new content about Jewish hoodlums. Many of them directly linked to Lansky and his crew. Check it out sometime. I think you may like it.
ButtonGuys had another biography about a top Jewish racketeer (many called a mob boss no less), that will be coming out shortly, if I can ever get it completed. Lol. I started working on it awhile back, but put it on the back burner because some other stories took precedence.
This particular fellow was based in the State of Pennsylvania, and I chose him because his background and underworld career caught my interest. Its seems that for many years he was a major force to be reckoned with in his neck of the woods...and I think everyone will enjoy his story.
I'm not gonna tell you his name yet, because I don't wanna ruin the surprise. But I will say this, he didn't operate in a major city like Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, per se. But he was the absolute "top dog" in the quiet section of Pennsylvania he ran.
Anyone care to take a guess about who we'll be focusing on?
