Mansion where mobster Bugsy Siegel was shot hits the market for $17M




After founding Murder Inc. and pioneering the early development of Las Vegas, Bugsy Siegel was shot multiple times while reading the Los Angeles Times inside his home in 1947. Though it's often reported he was shot through the eye, it was actually the pressure of a bullet going through Siegel's skull that caused his left eye to blow out of its socket.⠀

In the 1930s and 1940s, Bugsy Siegel thrived as one of America’s most notorious gangsters. He ran gambling and bootleg rackets in New York, rubbed shoulders with movie stars in Los Angeles, and poured money into building hotels in Las Vegas. But his violent delights had violent ends.

More than anything, Siegel is famous not for how he lived — but for how he died. After establishing himself as a formidable criminal presence on both coasts, Siegel had turned his gaze to the Las Vegas desert, where a smattering of casinos and hotels seemed to herald future riches for him.

After convincing his underworld associates to help him revive the construction of a hotel called the Flamingo, Siegel poured their millions into the project. But just six months after the Flamingo opened its doors, Siegel met a shocking, bloody end in his girlfriend’s Beverly Hills home.

Born on February 28, 1906, to Jewish immigrants, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel grew up in New York City. Raised in a poor family, Siegel quickly drifted toward a life of crime as a way to make money and support himself.

He dabbled in burglary, extorted Jewish pushcart peddlers on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, and met like-minded friends, including future crime boss Meyer Lansky. Siegel and Lansky formed the “Bugs and Meyers Mob,” bootlegged liquor alongside mobsters, and even ran a murder-for-hire operation that eventually became the infamous “Murder Inc.”

Meanwhile, Siegel gained a reputation for his temper and mood swings, which caused friends to describe him as “crazy as a bedbug.” According to the History Channel, however, Siegel hated his famous nickname.

“My friends call me Ben,” he once said. “Strangers call me Mr. Siegel, and guys I don’t like call me Bugsy, but not to my face.”

But whatever he was called, it soon became clear that Siegel was playing for the big leagues. Working with Mafia boss Charles “Lucky” Luciano, as well as Frank Costello, Albert Anastasia, and Vito Genovese, Siegel was likely one of four men who killed Giuseppe “Joe the Boss” Masseria in 1931.

Siegel made sure that he looked the part, too. Flush with cash, he wore expensive clothes, frequented exclusive clubs, and even bought an apartment in Manhattan’s luxurious Waldorf Astoria Towers.

By 1937, Bugsy Siegel had more or less conquered New York. Then, the mob sent him to Los Angeles to do the same on the West Coast.

From Los Angeles To Las Vegas
The Flamingo Construction

In Los Angeles, Bugsy Siegel thrived. According to Britannica, he set up gambling dens and offshore gambling ships, drug shipments — he may have established the narcotics trade between the U.S. and Mexico — and other criminal enterprises. When he wasn’t busy with building his “business,” Siegel also took out mobster informant Harry Greenberg and his own brother-in-law Whitey Krakow, who knew too much about the Greenberg hit.

Siegel also liked life in L.A., where he made friends with movie stars like Clark Gable, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, and Jean Harlow. Some say that Siegel may have entertained the idea of becoming an actor himself.

But Siegel ultimately had his eye on the bottom line. Around 1946, he heard about a business opportunity in Las Vegas, a hotel and casino under construction called the Flamingo that had run out of cash.

According to the Las Vegas Sun, Siegel admired how well a resort called El Rancho Vegas — located on today’s Vegas Strip — was doing. He decided that he could do the same with the Flamingo. He just needed the capital.

So, Bugsy Siegel reached out to his mob connections, including his old friend Meyer Lansky. Fatefully, he told the mobsters that the hotel could be completed for just $1 million over its original $1.2 million budget.

But construction costs soon soared for the Flamingo. Siegel’s mismanagement, and the steady theft of funds by his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, meant that the Flamingo took a whopping $6 million to build.

To make matters worse, a downpour on the Flamingo’s opening day meant that it was a subdued affair, with none of Siegel’s Hollywood friends in attendance. And the gamblers who did show seemed to have been especially lucky, winning some $300,000 in the hotel’s first two weeks.

Though Bugsy Siegel eventually managed to turn things around — by the spring of 1947, the Flamingo was making a profit — mobsters were allegedly furious about how much the hotel cost. In their eyes, Siegel had made a fatal error. And, some claim, they’d make him pay for it with his life.

The Brutal Death Of Bugsy Siegel

On June 20, 1947, Bugsy Siegel was at Virginia Hill’s Beverly Hills home, peacefully reading a newspaper, when a hail of bullets suddenly came through the window. An unidentified gunman fired nine shots with a .30 carbine, hitting Siegel four times and knocking an eye out of its socket.

Who killed Bugsy Siegel? To this day, no one knows for sure who took the gangster out. Some sources, like the Las Vegas Sun, suggest that irate mobsters met in Havana, Cuba, to decide Siegel’s fate. The men, including Siegel’s friend Lansky, voted to take him out early in 1947.

For them, his mismanagement of the Flamingo, and the millions of dollars he had cost them, was too big a sin to ignore. The Las Vegas Sun suggests that they sent hitmen Frankie Carbo and Frankie Carranzo to do the job.

But not everyone believes that the mob was behind Bugsy Siegel’s death. A 2014 article in LA Mag put forward a different theory — one that had more to do with a love triangle than Siegel’s infuriated associates.

This theory states that a truck driver named Mathew “Moose” Pandza killed Siegel. Why? He was in love with the wife of mobster Moe Sedway, who was tasked with keeping an eye on the Flamingo’s construction costs. Siegel was said to have hated the oversight and wanted to take Sedway out.

“I’ll have Moe shot, chop up his body and feed it to the Flamingo Hotel’s garbage disposal,” Siegel allegedly said.

When Sedway’s wife, Bee, heard about this, she went to Pandza for help. According to hours of interviews with the Sedway family, Pandza agreed. He bought a gun, practiced firing it in the desert, and crept up the driveway of Hill’s house, where he shot the mobster through the window.

But Beverly Hills Police Department spokesman Sgt. Max Lubin told People that the case was still ongoing. “We’re not releasing any information about it because it’s still an open case,” Lubin said. “It’s never been closed.”

In the end, perhaps Bugsy Siegel’s greatest legacy is Las Vegas itself. He wasn’t the first — or last — person to try to build a hotel in the desert. But Siegel’s shocking murder may have solidified the dark and thrilling reputation of Sin City as the Las Vegas Strip took shape.

“Ben Siegel did not invent the luxury resort-casino,” explained Meyer Lansky biographer Robert Lacey. “He did not found the Las Vegas Strip. He did not buy the land or first conceive the project that became the Flamingo. But by his death, he made them all famous.”

From Chantal Uren. This is my story

From Chantal Uren. This is my story... My name is Chantal, I'm a 37 year old Police Officer from Western Australia and I had a severe reaction after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. To the people who threatened me with defamation charges and disciplinary action for telling my story, I am disappointed. I'm disappointed that your priority is to silence me for your own ego and agenda rather than ask if I'm ok and offer me any help! At no time have you asked if I'm ok or cared for a second about my health or welfare. You decided that putting me under more stress, when that stress can cause further risk to my life is your priority. It makes me question humanity and how any person can have such a lack of empathy towards another.  If defamation and disciplinary action is what you deem suitable than I'm not afraid. I've done nothing wrong, I did what you wanted and look what happened. No one has the right to take away anyone else's experiences or tell them how they sho...

10 Countries That Preferred Male Child to female Child

List Of Countries That Preferred Male Child to female Child In many cultures, male offspring are desired in order to inherit property, carry on the family name and to provide support for parents in old age. There is a preference of parents to have a son over a daughter in many countries. This can be observed through sex ratios of children in various countries. Although biologically the sex ratio of children is around 95 girls to every 100 boys, this number generally evens out due to the higher infant mortality rate of boy infants.

11 SIGNS YOU’RE IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP (BUT DON’T WANT TO ADMIT IT)

A Poisonous relationship can alter our perception. You can spend many years thinking you’re worthless. But you’re not worthless. You’re underappreciated.” – Steve Maraboli Being in a bad or toxic relationship is often something that we don’t realize that we’re in until we’re out of it. Bad relationships can invade every other aspect of our lives, from our friendships to our family relationships. They can make you feel depressed or anxious for no reason. Marriage & family therapist and author Darlene Lancer, JD, MFT says, “Healthy relationships nourish and support us. A toxic relationship, on the other hand, is like poison to us — instead of lifting us up, it makes us feel worse. When it ends, we might experience post-traumatic stress or a lessening of self-esteem and trust in ourselves and others.” When you’re in a bad relationship, you’re probably ignoring all the signs – it’s what we do as humans to protect ourselves. If you’re in a toxic relationship, you may notice th...

How Serial Killer Albert Fish’s Letter To The Parents Of One Of His Victims Finally Landed Him In Prison In 1934, Albert Fish wrote a letter to Grace Budd’s mother and described how he'd murdered her before cutting her into pieces and eating her flesh. "Dear Mrs. Budd, On June 3, 1928, I called on you at 406 W. 15 St. and brought you pot cheese and strawberries. We had lunch. Grace sat on my lap and kissed me. I made up my mind to eat her." Grace Budd had been missing for six years when her mother received this disturbing note in the mail. It detailed exactly how her 10-year-old daughter had been abducted, murdered, and then roasted like a turkey. Though the letter was unsigned, investigators were eventually able to trace it back to a gray-haired old man named Albert Fish.  While plenty of Americans spent the Roaring Twenties at wild parties, Albert Fish developed a taste for human flesh.

A Very Victorian Two-Penny Hangover

During the Great Depreciation in London, people who couldn’t afford to sleep in a bad could pay twopence for a spot on a bench with a clothesline tied in front of them, so they could sleep while hanging over a rope . The term ‘hangover’ is universally understood to mean the disproportionate suffering that comes after a night of over-indulgence. But where does the term actually come from? One possible explanation is, somewhat strangely, Victorian England. During the Victorian era the practice of paying for a ‘two-penny hangover’ was incredibly popular among the country’s homeless population and the term ‘two penny hangover’ was so commonly used that it made its way into contemporary literature. A two-penny hangover is not the description of a very cheap night out, nor is it the amount it would cost you to get drunk in Victorian England. It is actually somewhere you could go to sleep if you were one of the thousands of homeless and destitute living in the country’s main cities at the tim...
