Joe ”The Boss” Masseria - Betrayed by his own men, one half of the Castellammarese war, and he lost!

Joe Masseria, byname Joe The Boss, original name Giuseppe Masseria, (born c. 1887, Italy—died April 15, 1931, New York, N.Y., U.S.), leading crime boss of New York City from the early 1920s until his murder in 1931. Emigrating from Sicily at age 16, Masseria associated with a band of Italian killers and Black Hand extortionists and committed burglaries and other petty crimes, but in 1920 he began to create the power that gave him control or a percentage of the profits of most of the Italian-run rackets in New York. In 1930 he declared war on Salvatore Maranzano (q.v.) and allied rivals, and some 60 gunmen and leaders on both sides were slaughtered in the resultant gang war. It ended on a Wednesday afternoon in April 1931, when Masseria was himself shot down by his own men while sitting in a Coney Island restaurant called Scarpato’s Nuova Villa Tammaro. The assassins were Vito Genovese, Albert Anastasia, Joe Adonis, and Bugsy Siegel, led by Lucky Luciano. ⏳ ⏳ 00:00 - Intro 01:21 - Masseria's early days 10:23 - The fall of the Morello family 36:34 - The end of D'Aquila 45:12 - Masseria's reign as Capo di tutti Capi 1:02:05 - The beginning of the end of Masseria Your source for the life and history of infamous gangsters ... and some other stuff, too.
