Btw, Antiliar do you know what year or time period was the picture taken with Capone, Luciano and Terranova I think, while swimming in a pool?
The time period MichaelGiovanni gave is correct, and it definitely was taken at Capone's Florida home. There was a gambling bust in 1930 where Joe Masseria and Luciano were arrested, so it could have been around then.

Yet even though Buchalter's organization didn't function the way the Murder Inc. legend says, still is it true that the Cosa Nostra commissioned the Dutch Schultz hit to his gang? The triggermen in that hit weren't Cosa Nostra made members after all, but were part of Buchalter's gang.
Buchalter was close to Luciano and Lucchese, and old reports from the FBN considered Lansky and Buchalter to be the same gang. They all worked together. Schultz was partnered up with Ciro Terranova, which eventually forced him to work with Luciano. Schultz, however, wasn't a team player.
Like antiliar mentioned, early govt files show how close Lepke and Lucky were during their time on the streets by referring to them as one group. Ive seen them labaled the Buchalter/Luciano mob/gang/group/combination. Lepke's name is always mispelled as BucKhalter.
Is that a massive scar on Ciro's face? You can't see whatever it is on the usual pictures of him unless it happened after those, or it's just a photo artefact or whatever.
