Mafia

After gaining fortune and notoriety, Rothstein moved from bootlegging to drug smuggling to labor racketeering. With his connections and friendly demeanor, Rothstein was able to get out of any situation, and taught the likes of Charles Luciano, Meyer Lanksy, and Dutch Schultz to do the same. But a gambler is a gambler, and at some point there are some debts you can't get out of.  Our Sponsors for this episode are: Best Fiends The Bouqs Company Upstart Mafia's theme is "Spellbound Hell" by Damiano Baldoni.
