This was a newspaper article where a newspaper man makes a comment on how Lansky is
supposedly worth $300 million, but the IRS cant seem to figure out where he would hide that
money.

An IRS article was found to contain the tax document when Lansky wouldnt pay fair taxes on

arrest in 1960.

Sandra Lansky mentions names of bankers and other mobsters that led way to further
information about the gambling ring that Lansky ran. It was a gateway to other information from
other sources.

First source to begin the everlong debate on whether Lansky was truly a great leader, or a
glorified gangster. This article contained dozens of quotes that would help prove that Lansky left
behind a legacy difficult to compete with, even today.
