Albert Anastasia
Richard “Ice Man” Kuklinski

Umberto Anastasio - Albert Anastasia was a thug and a killer very early, he got into Mob hierarchy at a young age, and had others do the killing for him - Namely - Harry Strauss. Harry killed at minimum 50 men for Albert, but more correctly about 65 for him.


I mentioned Roy DeMeo as my number 2 trigger man in my earlier post. Richard Kulkinski is not in the same league as these 2.


Harry Strauss invented the following:

Placing the victim on the floor and tying a noose around his neck, then taking the other end of the rope and tying it to his legs. Once the legs get tired, the victim chokes himself to death.

Harry invented the Ice-Pick to the Brain, Inserted through either Ear.

Harry invented the term - "Going for a Ride"

Harry invented the wire garrote, fixed to 2 hardwood handles. Victim sits in the front passenger seat, and is garroted to death by the killer in the back-seat twisting the wire around the victims neck, and in some cases semi-decapitating him.

Harry is the 1st known hood to put a bullet in the back of a victim's head, when taken for a ride.

Finished Confessions. I am now reading Seneca's On the Shortness of Life. So far, Seneca reminds me a lot of Solomon in the Bible with his focus on the short-sightedness and transience and foolishness of man, but he ultimately emphasizes personal satisfaction more than keeping commandments of a deity.
