Mob Talk Social Club presents the Mob History story of the Castellammarese War Mob Talk Social Club presents the Mob History story of the Castellammarese War. #mobhistory #mobtalk #mobstories #mobsters #CastellammareseWar The Castellammarese War (Italian pronunciation: [kaˌstɛllammaˈreːze, -eːse]) was a bloody power struggle for control of the American Mafia between partisans of Joe "The Boss" Masseria and Salvatore Maranzano in New York City from February 26, 1930, until April 15, 1931. The feud was named after the Sicilian town of Castellammare del Golfo, Maranzano's birthplace. Maranzano's faction prevailed in the conflict and divided New York's crime families into the Five Families. Maranzano declared himself capo di tutti i capi ("boss of all bosses"). Maranzano was murdered in September 1931 on orders of Lucky Luciano, who established a power-sharing arrangement through a governing body called the Commission, giving equal stature to all Mafia families to avoid such feuds in the future.

Martin “Buggsy” Goldstein finished what others ordered. Murder, Inc. enforcer out of Brooklyn under Lepke and Anastasia. 1939: strangled and burned Irving “Puggy” Feinstein with Pittsburgh Phil. Walked into Sing Sing’s electric chair June 12, 1941, still cursing the rats. Current doesn’t negotiate. Martin “Buggsy” Goldstein (1905–1941) was a Brooklyn gangster and killer associated with Murder, Inc., the network of hitmen that carried out murders for organized crime leaders during the 1930s. Born Meyer Goldstein, he grew up in East New York, Brooklyn, and became a close criminal associate of Abe “Kid Twist” Reles. Goldstein belonged to the Brooklyn underworld that supplied killers to Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and Albert Anastasia. Murder, Inc. included both Jewish and Italian gangsters; Goldstein’s importance came from his place in that enforcement network and his association with Reles. His downfall came when Reles became a prosecution witness in 1940. Reles implicated Goldstein and fellow killer Harry “Pittsburgh Phil” Strauss in the murder of Irving “Puggy” Feinstein. Both were convicted of first-degree murder in September 1940 and sentenced to death. Goldstein and Strauss were executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing on June 12, 1941. They were among the first Murder, Inc. defendants executed as the prosecutions dismantled the killing network.

Jim passed away peacefully just now and in no pain. Before he passed, he was told how important he was to each of us and how much we ALL loved him 🙏 There is not a soul on this platform that can say a bad word about our dear brother. He was loved and respected by each of us. I know we will each take a piece of Jim along with us in our lives. I , for one , will NEVER forget the laughs we had behind the scenes. Jim would always show up in a robe and his hair a mess so Kaleb and I nicknamed him “ The Chin” 🙏😔 He was a dear friend and confidant. We shared deep stories that you don’t just tell to anyone. I just don’t know what to say , I’m heartbroken 💔 There is a better place . Jim is with his wife now , where he has wanted to be since she left only a few short months ago. 🙏 We will miss you , brother. We will cherish the times.
