Detroit, I know Meyer Lansky's grandson. He was involved in that Mob Experience thing in Las Vegas. You have to understand two things when it comes to money in Organized Crime. 1) People have a tendancy to throw around numbers and before you know it the numbers become WAY exaggerated into non reality. 2) The newspapers said at the time of his death he owned property and cash that was worth POSSIBLY $300 Million, not $600. Then, you have to take into account WHO was throwing around the big numbers AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, Lansky had several New York Mafia partners and other partners across the Country.
What does this mean? It means that if He owned A PIECE of something that was part of the Syndicate, when he died, it reverted back TO HIS PARTNERS, not his family. So, who knows how much money or property HE PERSONALLY HAD at the time of his death THAT WENT TO HIS FAMILY. He was worth PERSONALLY TENS OF MILLIONS over a 60 year carreer. I'll give you that much.
