Vito Genovese Offers $75,000 for Bumpy's Head — 39 Assassins Came, ALL VANISHED

They Put a $75,000 Price on His Head & Expected Him to Run—He Stayed & Made Them All Disappear FEBRUARY 17, 1952. 10:14 P.M. In the smoky back room of the Red Rooster, Bumpy Johnson received his death sentence. Rival boss Vito Genovese had placed a $75,000 bounty on his head—an "open season" order sent to every hitman from New York to Sicily. The instruction was simple: eradication. Genovese thought the King of Harlem would hide. He thought he would crumble. He was wrong. Instead of fleeing, Bumpy Johnson shut down his rackets and turned his entire organization into a hunting party. He didn't wait for the assassins to find him—he went to them. What followed became a legend of silence and erasure. Over the next month, thirty-nine men arrived in Harlem to collect the fortune. Not a single one left. A rooftop sniper vanished without a sound, leaving only a violin case behind. Two Chicago professionals were swallowed by the Hudson River after a meeting that never happened. A Cleveland enforcer was buried alive in the wet concrete foundation of a Queens library. But the true shock wasn't the war—it was the ending. Realizing his family would never be safe as long as he held the crown, Bumpy made the ultimate sacrifice. He walked away from his throne and surrendered to a 15-year sentence at Alcatraz, trading his freedom to remove the target from his daughter’s back. This is the true story of a war won in the shadows, a king who became a ghost to save his family, and the moment Harlem learned that its Godfather would burn the city to the ground to protect his own.
