“Lansky, who seemingly died broke….” I guess it comes down to who you believe. Lacey said he died basically broke. Messick said he hid his cash with others….including Malnik. Lansky’s daughter claims his brother Jake ended up with all the money.

I fall on the side that money was never an issue. While I believe the $300 million was a gross exaggeration, I doubt that a man of his intelligence, savvy and long-time power in the Underworld died broke….probably living his final years similar to peers like Costello
