I believe the Siegel hit was the most precise one, although im not sure if the hitman used a scope on his rifle since he took the shots right from the backyard which i believe wouldve been too close for the usage of a scope.

The stealing over the Flamingo 🦩 was the consensus reason Siegel was murdered, has anyone heard the additional issue regarding Joey Adonis and Virginia Hill?

Basically, Hill was everybody’s girl, the ‘guys’ in CN, I’ll assume. Then, Siegel like the money was hoarding Hill, as if she was just his, this was also part of why he was murdered?

Virginia was in fact a "Chicago girl" who started in/worked for the Joe Epstein/Jake Guzik crowd (the Outfits Jewish or non-Ital faction) and theres a great possibility that she was with Siegel to keep an eye on him or in plain words to inform the mob regarding his actions. The Outfits Jewish crowd was also connected to Lansky. They allegedly all donated cash or weapons to Israel during and after WWII

Thanks, very interesting! But they never let Lansky into Israel 🇮🇱, just like Hyman Roth lol

And Joseph Joanovici. He was a businessman connected to the Gestapo gangsters of the 93 rue Lauriston aka "La Carlingue". A nice bunch of assholes. Anyway, the guy helped the Gestapo and the Resistance and tried to get back to Israel to take advantage of Israel's law of return. Needless to say they kindly said no thank you ...

In addition to Joanovici & Lansky, Robert Soblen, a working spy for the Russians, complete this pretty picture of Jews turned back from Israel.

But yes Lansky was in Israel but deported, like the 2 guys I mentionned

(nice joke about Hyman Roth by the way ^^)

As usual Furio has at least one of his, whatever he calls them, wrong. Joey Naples was not killed in a "mob hit". He was killed by an independant looking to gain favor when the other Youngstown Mob Boss who had no knowledge of the the "hit" per/say until it was over and done with. That's what happened !

When I found out about this it blew my mind. That has got to be one of the weirdest hits in mob history, but the crazy story did finally make some sense when you factor in how Strollo insisted he had nothing to do with the Naples hit even though he freely admitted to everything else.

Wonder what Lenny's up to these days. He's about 90, so probably not much! Is Amil still in jail?

I'm actually in the center of the universe AKA Ohio right now so it's interesting to hear Ohio mob stuff.
