I question whether this was really a "gang." Lansky and Siegel did run a small gang in the teens and early Twenties, specializing in small arms and gambling, and, after hooking up with Rothstein, transporting booze. But after Prohibition, they split: Siegel to the West Coast and Nevada, Lansky to Saratoga Springs, NY, Hallandale FL and Havana. Bug and Meyer remained allies, but the people listed in the chart were more like allies and occasional associates of Lansky rather than members of a formal gang, as were the Purples or Murder Inc.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
