Saying this today, so it's marked w/a date stamp.
Will back it up extensively in weeks 2 come.
Here it is (3-tweet THREAD):

MEYER LANSKY SET UP THE GLOBAL LAUNDROMAT.

It's his FRAMEWORK.
LCN used it to launder their money from the moment he created it. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/01/16/obituaries/meyer-lansky-is-dead-at-81-financial-wizard-of-organized-crime.html?pagewanted=all
2. Transnational crime syndicate (detailed in Treasury Dept. Reports) EXPANDED IT.
But it is Lansky's creation.
It starts with him. https://twitter.com/LincolnsBible/status/947188984030957569
3. Panama Papers EXPOSED it.

That's what we're looking at.
That's what it means to...

Let's begin.

1. OCTOBER 17, 1931, AL CAPONE is convicted of tax evasion. Unable to convict him 4 boot-legging & murder, LE went after the MONEY. It was creative at the time.

At this point, Lansky was focused on elevating Lucky Luciano 2 capo. There would be no fortune w/o that.
2. With Luciano in place, Lansky went for gold.
Gambling.
"Carpet Joints" ➡️ Casinos.
The enterprise that cemented his billions.
Legit profits aside, every leg of today's global laundromat can be traced back 2 Lansky's ops: the shell companies & banks that washed his skim.
It's coming.
Not for long.
Alright. I couldn't help myself.
Here you go.
Try not to engage in an epic eye roll over his "story" of how this house magically dropped in his lap.
