Benjamin Tannenbaum

Benjamin Tannenbaum

Benjamin "Benny the Boss" Tannenbaum (c. 1906-February 6, 1941) was a New York mobster involved in narcotics and the fur rackets as well as a mob accountant for labor racketeer Louis "Lepke" Buchalter and Jacob "Gurrah" Shapiro. A friend of Bronx real estate agent Max Heitner, whom he had met at a New York summer resort, he was shot twice in the chest and killed while babysitting Heitner's four month old baby. Seymour "Blue Jaw" Magoon, a member of Murder Inc., was later brought into custody for Tannenbaum's murder. It has been speculated, as he had knowledge of Charles "The Bug" Workman's role in the 1935 gangland slaying of Dutch Schultz, Tannenbaum may have been targeted as a potential informant during District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey's prosecution against Louis Buchalter. [ [http://www.killthedutchman.net/chapter_XX.htm KILL THE DUTCHMAN! by Paul Sann ] at www.killthedutchman.net]
