Atlantic City And Havana Conferences

This week, we cover two major conferences that were attended by the nation's top crime boss. First was the Atlantic City Conference on May 13-16, 1929 and is likely the first organized crime summit ever held. In Atlantic City, the boss's goal was to curb the violent bootleg wars in New York and Chicago and establish a plan to work together moving forward. The Havana Conference meanwhile, was set up to discuss how to move forward with the drug trade and it was here that the decision was made to kill Bugsy Siegel.
