In the early 1870s New York City was a very corrupt place. The main base of corruption was Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall control businessman , young hoodlum and organize crime.

During late the eighteen century one man rose to the top . Arnold Rothstein  also known as" The Brain " was a Newyork businessman and gamble who became a famous king pin of the jewish mafia . He was best know as man who fixed the world series.

According to Charles Lucky Luciana  Rothstein transformed organized crime from a street thug to activity by hoodlums into a big business run like a corporation with himself at the top.

Rothstein was like jesus of the Jewish gangster according to Myers Lansky and he show the young of the Bowery how to have style . The Chairman of the commission Luciana later said " taught me how to dress''.
