57 Who’s Who? [ix]
The Lansky Crime Syndicate
Meyer Lansky - Chief executive officer and de facto "treasurer" of the
international crime syndicate; active in gun-running on behalf of the Israeli
underground; collaborated closely with American intelligence on a number
of fronts; later settled in Israel. Researchers who have claimed that "The
Mafia Killed JFK" have pointedly refused to acknowledge Lansky's
preeminent positioning in the underworld. (See Chapter 7)
Carlos Marcello - The head of the Mafia in New Orleans, Marcello owed
his status to Meyer Lansky who was his chief sponsor in the crime
syndicate. Marcello could not have orchestrated the JFK assassination—as
some suggest—without Lansky's explicit approval. (See Chapter 10)
Seymour Weiss - Meyer Lansky's New Orleans bagman and liaison with
the Louisiana political establishment served as a director of the CIA-linked
Standard Fruit company. He appears to have been a high-ranking CIA asset
in New Orleans at the time of the JFK assassination. (See Chapter 15)
Santo Trafficante, Jr. - Although best known as the head of the Mafia in
Tampa, Trafficante actually functioned as Meyer Lansky's chief lieutenant
in the crime syndicate and as Lansky's liaison with the CIA in the Castro
assassination plots. (See Chapter 12)
Sam Giancana - Longtime Chicago Mafia leader, Giancana was a player in
the CIA-Mafia plots against Castro, working under the direction of the real
"boss" of the crime syndicate in Chicago, Mossad-connected Hyman
Lamer, a partner of national crime chief Meyer Lansky. (See Chapter 11)
Johnny Rosselli - A roving "ambassador" for the Mossad-connected
Chicago Mafia, Rosselli was the primary conduit between the CIA and the
mob in the plots against Fidel Castro; may have arranged the murder of Sam
Giancana and was later murdered himself. (See Chapter 11)
Mickey Cohen - Meyer Lansky's West Coast henchman; Jack Ruby's role
model and a gun-runner for the Israeli underground, Cohen collaborated
closely with Israeli diplomat Menachem Begin prior to the JFK
assassination; Cohen arranged for John F. Kennedy to meet actress Marilyn
Monroe who was assigned the task of finding out JFK's private views and
intentions toward Israel. (See Chapter 13)
Jack Ruby - A long-time functionary for the Lansky syndicate, Ruby was
the Lansky connection man in Dallas and also engaged in CIA-linked gunrunning
to the anti-Castro Cuban exiles. Evidence suggests there is more to
Ruby's sudden "death" than meets the eye. (See Chapter 14)
