AHC network broadcasts several organized crime (OC) episodes one of which tells about Arnold Rothstein's OC adventure. Although the episode touts Rothstein's foundational role establishing OC (such as mentoring Charlie Luciano), it concludes with his downfall and murder.

Had Rothstein lived, I wonder what his OC role would have continued to be. Like Luciano, he sought peaceable solutions to OC problems. I wonder though if he would have eventually come into conflict with Luciano for control of OC.
