Wim Dankbaar Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) My answer: Chauncey Holt on orders of Meyer Lansky. With an M1 Carbine on a tripod. Just another solution of an unsolved murder, you don't have have to believe it, I don't give a damned, as long as I know myself what the truth is. And by the way, I think Chauncey was a likable great guy, much less a criminal than David Atlee Phillips and George Bush (senior or junior). I am getting private messages through this board that I don't know how to answer. Whoever wants to get to me in private, do it at info@jfkmurdersolved.com.

Wim Bugsy was one of the few mob hits that actually used a sniper and shot him through a window while he was sitting on a couch with his girlfriend. Of course, when the HSCA under GRB tried to pull a switchero and shift the responsiblitly for the consiracy to kill JFK from the CIA to the mob, this was a prime example of how the mob could have done it. As for Chauncy being the triggerman, I don't know. He was certainly a cool and cold character when he had to be, but Chauncy was known to be a Lansky man, and Lansky would have never sanctioned the murder of his childhood friend, no matter how much money was involved. He understood though, as explained in Godfather II. BK

Wim Dankbaar Posted December 11, 2007 Author Posted December 11, 2007 (edited) You're right, Lansky did it with pain in his heart. But he was forced to give the order on orders of the commission, if Siegel could not be reasoned with. Something that Lansky pleaded for. And when Bugsy told Lansky to shove it , because the Flamingo was his and nobody would touch it, Siegel was dead the next day. Lansky's men took over the Flamingo the day after that.

Wim When Siegal was killed; polite mobsters entered the neighboring houses, and told the residents "stay inside" and "don't use your phones".
Wim Dankbaar Posted December 11, 2007 Author Posted December 11, 2007 Siegel is dead, Lansky is dead, Holt is dead, nobody can be hurt with this any anymore. It's part of the record that it was done on orders of the mob and the task was given to Lansky. Holt denied it with the same smile as James Files denies David Ferrie, despite giving all the details. He said to Thom Hartmann that Siegel was killed with an M1 carbine on a pedestal and stupid Thom failed to ask him: How do you know that? I guess he was not interested. Apart from Chauncey's own hints, it has been confirmed to me by two independent credible sources. It will officially remain an unsolved murder, it's too long ago to care anyway. Wim
James Richards Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 It will officially remain an unsolved murder, it's too long ago to care anyway. (Wim Dankbaar) I care. In 1952, two telephone company agents arrested a man as he emerged from a phone booth in Hollywood. He had just phoned Las Vegas using a handful of two-bit slugs. The man said his name was John Baker and then tried to bribe his way out of it. The agents turned him over to the police where J.E. Hamilton of the Los Angeles Intelligence Unit took over. Hamilton did a fingerprint check and discovered that the man was in fact Leo Moceri. Under questioning, Moceri finally admitted who he was and also said that he was a cousin of Peter Licavoli. Moceri was wanted for crimes in Toledo and prosecutor Joel Rhineman began the legal process to return Moceri to Ohio. After the interrogation, Hamilton was of the belief that Moceri (as a member of the Yonnie Licavoli gang) was responsible for killing four people during 1931/32, and that he was also the man who killed Bugsy Siegel in 1947. FWIW. James

Tim Gratz Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 I know many are tired of my posts, but if you are interested in history, these points may be of interest: (1) One of the men who took over the Flamingo immediately after Siegel's death was named Gus Greenbaum. There is an amusing reference to this incident in Godfather II. (2) Greenbaum was a friend of Barry Goldwater and Goldwater attended his funeral (there I said it!). (3) At the time of the murder, Greenbaum was no longer running the Flamingo but another mob-controlled resort. The mob wanted him out because he was drinking and apparently pilfering some money. (4) There are reports (I forget where I read it) that the mob had offered Greenbaum a deal: sell your interest in the resort back to the mob and get out of Vegas and all will be well. There are reports that Rosselli was ordered to make this offer to Greenbauum. It was an offer he should not have rejected but he did. (5) Both Greenbaum and his wife were brutally murdered (their throats were cut). Murder of a wife was of course unusual. In Harlot's Ghost, Rosselli states he objected to the wife's murder. Harlot's Ghost does not mention Greenbaum by name and you really need to know your mob history to understand the reference. This shows how carefully Harlot's Ghost was reesearched. Of couse, if one understands that Mailer's reference was to an actual event, one can conclude that every incident in the book is based on fact. Many indeed are, but not all. (6) I am sure James will correct me if I am wrong but I am quite certain no one was ever even arrested for the Greenbaum murder.
James Richards Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Tim, It was not the first time tradegy struck the Greenbaum family. In 1955, Charles Greenbaum's wife was suffocated to death. No one was ever brought to justice in that case. Barry Goldwater did cop some heat over his relationship with Gus Greenbaum but Robert Goldwater was savaged by the press for all sorts of shady business associations. Among them links to the Greenbaum's and Moe Dalitz. One specific charge was leveled by the Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc., and that was Robert Goldwater and Arizona businessman Joseph Martori were financially involved with the 'Hobo Joe' chain of restaurants which was run by a longtime associate of Peter Licavoli. This was one of the stories journalist Don Bolles was investigating when he was murdered. James
Tim Gratz Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Well I guess BG could paraphrase a famous JFK remark (after the father had stated that before JFK intervened on behalf of his son that he could not vote for JFK because JFK was Catholic): "Well, we all have our brothers!" (My reference of course is to the brother of RMN.)

Wim There is a new book out about the Black Dahlia killing, which claims that Benny was involved and then dumped the body about two blocks from Jack Dragna's house. It also claims that Dragna's driver did the hit and confessed to it on his death bed. Interesting book cuz it claims the Black Dahlia was pregnant with Norman Chandlers child and refused and abortion, hence the killing. The mutilation was done by the abortionist to conceal the pregnancy, or so the book claims. Sorry, I can't remember the title.
