No. Lansky never ran the mob. Not for a second, not EVER. cosign. The part of the Last Testament where Lucky goes off on a rant about Lanksy and Jews taking over the mafia was in the finale and should be read like a greatly exaggerated movie ending, cause that's all it was. Obviously the movie script never got presented to one of the big movie production firms of the time. If it were, that part would have gotten the script rejected (by the overwhelmingly Jewish Hollywood establishment) or it would have been edited out. I go with it being rejected. After WW2, anti semitism generated a paranoid fear anywhere it appeared, even today.

I was looking into Molaska, wondering what exactly happened there, and started to think.. Besides the Judge begging him to release the hex, (lol) and the GOvernor breaking down crying (I actually find this strangely believable lol) what else in this book exactly is fraudulent? I ask cause a lot of it seems on the money to me; Any thoughts? Well besides the diamonds of hearts incident there was that one about the cardinal from Pennsylvania calling Luciano to talk about Al Smith. that doesn't seem all that plausible.
