Meyer Lansky was one of the most influential figures of the twentieth-century American criminal underworld. He was particularly well-connected through friendships and close partnerships with contemporaries Lucky Luciano and Bugsy Siegel. Lansky revolutionized the illegal gambling industry by working smarter; the so-called "Mob's Accountant" applied a scientific method of risk-reward, and mitigated loss through payoffs and international money laundering.
