Robert Lacey says he found Buddy Lansky to be a good source for his biography of Meyer.
How Buddy died, tells you all you need to know about the myth of Meyer's millions.
The story of Meyer's money, and the sad death of Buddy, are both set out in the Lacey book.

Where did it go ? Extorted?
Looks like he lost a lot of money on what happened in Cuba. As I recall, Robert Lacey comments that at the end of his life, he wasn't poor, but he didn't have a lot of money.

I’ve wondered exactly how Richard Schwartz’s murder went down, who ordered, if there was a sit down, etc. I’ve also wondered if Lansky lost his “rabbi” (no pun intended) in the Genovese Family when Jimmy Alo got locked up in 1970, though the other Genovese guys in Miami presumably also had close relationships to Lansky going back decades.

On this note, has Vincent Teriaca’s membership ever been confirmed? I’ve seen him described as a “Genovese soldier” in places, but then also seen him described as an associate who worked for Patsy Erra. If he was in fact a member, this could have made big difference in how the issue got settled.

I have no horse in the race when it comes to Lansky’s standing in the ‘70s one way or the other, but even ranking members aren’t always able or willing to protect their sons, Parrello and Cirillo being more recent examples that come to mind. Do we know if Lansky even backed Schwartz when he killed Craig Teriaca, or did he realize Schwartz was wrong and had to pay? I don’t know anything about Schwartz apart from the Teriaca thing, so I have no idea if he was known for having previously caused problems, though if he actually killed the Teriaca kid in an argument over a $10 drink, it doesn’t sound like he had his shit together.

I understand that but he probably had millions more in other businesses and real estate.So an average dock worker during that time left his house to his children but ML who was made over a billion adjusting for inflation left nothing to his family.They also killed his stepson which shows in his later years he didnt have the respect he once had.People say how bad john gotti was as a boss but he left his children fortunes and ML probably made 100x more money than Gotti

Correction: It appears that his estate was worth $57,000 (equivalent to $174,610.57 today).

Not well off. I can't remember what she said exactly related to that (have it somewhere in my notes) but there was definitely not a lot of money left after Meyer died.
Scott, do you believe the rumor that Meyer was broke when he died?

I've read that they only inherited about $10,000.
