Thanks guys, I really appreciate your support.

@BillyB as Hollander said, 400K in 1950 was about 4 million dollars.

@Cabrini this was before, during and after the Palermo meeting.

@Regoparker I dont know much regarding Philly but I think there was one Jewish mobster known as Harry "Nig Rosen" Stromberg who was heavily involved in the dope business together with the Mafia. For example in 1959 he was arrested together with Anthony Mirra and a bunch of other gangsters regarding the French Connection.
