I don't know for sure and this is far from my area of interest but I did recently see a documentary, whose name escapes me, but it was part of a series on the mafia. One of the programmes was about Lansky. He was undoubtedly involved in the money side of things but all of his money he put into a Cuban casino. He lost that with the arrival of Fidel. It is unlikely he had any more money as he lived in very humble circumstances since that time even unable to afforded treatment for his son's health condition. He also had nothing to leave his family when he died. If you were going to use your power and shake down anyone for $ it would be to do something for your kid. He didn't and couldn't.
