Meyer Lansky: Perbedaan antara revisi

Lansky juga memimpin [[Murder, Inc.]] untuk The Commission dan bertanggung jawab atas pembangunan [[Las Vegas Strip|Las Vegas]] oleh [[Mafia]] dan hubungan dengan rezim Kuba korup [[Fulgencio Batista|Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar]]. Meskipun Yahudi, Lansky memainkan peran penting dalam organisasi Mafia Italia dan konsolidasi dunia kriminal bawah tanah (meskipun perannya ini masih diperdebatkan).

 

Meyer Lansky lahir di [[Grodno]], Polandia (sekarang [[Hrodna]], [[Belarus]]) dari pasangan Max Suchowlijanski dan istrinya Yetta Lansky. Tahun 1911 keluarga ini pindah ke Amerika Serikat dan menetap di [[Lower East Side]] [[Manhattan]], [[New York]]. Sementara Lansky bersekolah, ia bertemu [[Lucky Luciano|Charles "Lucky" Luciano]] muda, yang mencoba merampoknya (menguras uang). Ketika Lansky menolak bayar, Luciano terpana dengan keberanian anak muda itu dan keduanya menjadi sahabat selamanya.

 

Lansky adalah saudara dari Jacob "Jake" Lansky, yang tahun 1959 adalah manajer Nacional Hotel di [[Havana]], [[Kuba]].

 

Tahun-tahun terakhir Lansky dihabiskan di rumahnya di [[Miami Beach]]. Tanggal 15 Januari 1983, ia mengalami [[kanker paru-paru]], pada usia 80 tahun, meninggalkan seorang istri dan tiga anak.<ref>{{cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Meyer Lansky is Dead at 81. |url=http://select.nytimes.com/search/restricted/article?res=FA0E17F63B5C0C758DDDA80894DB484D81 |quote= Meyer Lansky, the reputed financial genius of the underworld, died today of cancer at Mount Sinai Hospital here.
