I remember reading something plausible about Lansky , I don't know maybe it isn't , but the writer obviously said his wealth was way overstated but that he still died a well off man , can't remember the exact number but something like $10M or so , maybe less . Anyway because of the biz he was in , most of his assisted assets had to be in someone else's name and I think Meyers brother ended up with a lions share and he ran off with it , stiffing Meyers daughter and others .

Outside of dying broke which I have some doubt with as Meyer was smart and likey would have been investing his illegit $ into some legit stuff over a # of years , the above story sounds like something that was probably a somewhat frequent Occurance in his line of work
