Legendary organized crime leader (1902–1983) who headed the notorious “enforcement” syndicate Murder, Inc., which emerged in the early 1930s as successor to the warring Prohibition gangs and the old-line Mafia, and continued to operate into the 1950s. Bank check, 6.25 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Lansky, payable to the Treasury Department for $883.77, September 13, 1938. Two vertical folds, one through a single letter of signature, expected cancellation holes and stamps, one over last couple of letters of signature, otherwise fine condition. Known to pay just enough income tax to keep from coming under suspicion, Lansky eventually was charged with tax evasion in 1970. A rare and desirable crime autograph.
