Arnold Rothstein: 'The Brain' Behind the 1919 World Series Scandal - New Version | Mobster Biography

Please subscribe to our new channel: @RichieRichStories Arnold Rothstein was a Jewish-American mob boss and was a mentor to Lucky Luciano, Mayer Lansky and Frank Costello. The financier who turned gambling, liquor, and political influence into a business model: Arnold Rothstein — better known as “The Brain.” Born in 1882 to a religious Jewish father, “Abe the Just,” Rothstein left the straight world for New York’s underbelly, becoming the quiet banker behind casinos, speakeasies, and big-money bets. Forever linked to the 1919 Black Sox scandal (never convicted), he professionalized the Prohibition economy, loan money to the underworld entrepreneurs and brokered deals from City Hall to Broadway. In November 1928, after the high-stakes “Manhattan Game” poker dispute in which he refused to pay his debt claiming the game was fixed, Rothstein was shot near the Park Central Hotel, New York — a case that never truly closed. His playbook—capital + connections + a fixer’s touch—shaped the next generation of organized crime. Key people in his life: • Charles “Lucky” Luciano — absorbed Rothstein’s discipline and “business, not brawls” mindset. • Meyer Lansky — numbers, risk, and front businesses; the corporate style of crime. • Frank Costello — politics and influence; the Tammany Hall interface. • Abe Attell — ex-champion boxer; conduit in the Black Sox allegations. • Jack “Legs” Diamond & Dutch Schultz (Arthur Flegenheimer) — Prohibition liquor and gambling overlaps. • Waxey Gordon (Irving Wexler) — bootlegging and sugar rackets intersecting with Rothstein’s finance. • Enoch “Nucky” Johnson — Atlantic City’s political machine and speakeasy economy. • George “Hump” McManus — tried and acquitted in the Park Central case. Cultural echo: Meyer Wolfsheim in The Great Gatsby is widely viewed as a Rothstein-inspired figure.
