The Bugs and Meyer Mob

The Bugs and Meyer Mob

The Bugs (Bugsy) and Meyer Mob was a Jewish-American street gang in New York's Lower East Side headed by mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky during their teenage years shortly after the start of Prohibition as a predecessor to Murder Inc.

They supplied bootleggers with stolen trucks and drivers and handling protection, hijacking, murder, illegal gambling, also enforcers of Frank Costello in both New York and Louisiana.

Longtime associates of mobster Charles "Lucky" Luciano, the gang would frequently work with Joe Adonis's Broadway Mob throughout the 1920s and would eventually be incorporated into the National Crime Syndicate after Prohibition's end in 1933.
