Meyer Lansky

Clint Eastwood is lying in his new 'J.Edgar Hoover" Movie

user
Clint Eastwood is full of "horse dung" in his new movie about FBI director, J.Edgar Hoover" staring Leonardo DiCapprio! In my early position with the NCS in America, "The National Crime Syndicate", I worked closly with Meyer Lansky, boss of the old combination, as had my father, " The Honorable William A. Craft ESQ,  and future partner Paul A. DiCocco Sr! Like all young men on their way up in crime, I had to do my 5 years of low end work, in order to learn my tra...

Happy Easter to all of the www.fest21.com patrons and members. May the glory of Easter be with you all.

Big Mike Craft at The Saratoga Race Track and Harness Track

user
The summer in upstate New York is as nice as any place in the World. We call them August Nights. The day's at the track are usually hot and humid. The nights go down in the low 70's and high 60's. It  is a nice time of the year. The Polo matches are exciting and well run by Jim Rossi and Mike Bucci. I'm still waiting for their mystery Hotel to be built, but I like them both. When I show up at polo, I am treated as a gentleman. The food is always good and the Staff is wonderful. I like Polo an...

Big Mike Craft and Dinner avec Steve Allen

user
It was the fall of 1975 and I was a little sick of running around for Mr. Lansky. He had forgiven me for having him set down by the Commission for trying to get me to kill Ex-President Nixon but if I was not protecteted by my friend in Chicago, I might have had to make other arrangements for Meyer. Meyer and my father had been friends, but I always remembered what happened to Meyer Lansky's best friend Benny Segal! So I always looked for a change, but there was never one change aga...

Big Mike Craft, and a few drinks with Frank Sinatra Sr. in the 70's

user
I was very young when I met Frank Sinatra. I was out in Vegas in 1969 for the first time and would go out every 6 months or so. I went a lot after 1973 when I got rid of my business partner Tony. He was a pain with his constant complaining so we severed the partnership. It was in the Fall of 69 that I first met Mr. Sinatra. I was in the Desert Inn having a drink when someone told him I worked for Meyer Lansky. Moe Daliz did not want me to ever start up with people because all my ol...

Big Mike Craft and the Meyer Lansky Plot To Kill Trudeau of Canada and Castro of Cuba

user
It was 1974 and Mr. Lansky was still pissed off at the World for not letting him buy it. I had been with Meyer since 1968, in my own world, in upstate N.Y. My mentor was my father, who worked for Meyer and Doc Farone, an old ally and bootlegger with Meyer. Doc was the first legitimate Molsen Beer Distributer in America. I learned in 68 that he had just used Molsen as a front to ship moonshine back into Canada. Doc would put me on errands with money to Ray Patriarca in Providence, R.I. and giv...
