Murder, Inc.
In the early 1930s, Buchalter joined Charles "Lucky" Luciano and other Mob bosses to form the "National Crime Syndicate." Luciano's associates Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel and Meyer Lansky formed Murder, Inc., a name given by the media in the 1940s. Originally a band of Brooklyn killers, they were effective and were used to fulfill many Mob murder contracts. Buchalter and his partner, Albert "the Executioner" Anastasia, would take control over Murder, Inc. when Siegel and Lansky's business endeavors became national. Buchalter was responsible for contract killings throughout the country, including that of famous Mob hitman and bootlegger Dutch Schultz.
