history channel documentary mystery Be that as it may, Luciano found out about the plot through a witness near Maranzano, accepted to be Tommy Lucchese. Rather than appearing at Maranzano's office, Luciano sent four Jewish executioners to the proposed meeting, drove by Red Levine, one the men who had offed Masseria. The four men, acting like criminologists, bulldozed their way past Maranzano's bodyguards in the external office. At that point they impacted into Maranzano's office, where they cut and shot him to death. In transit out of the building, the four executioners kept running into "Distraught Dog" Cole. They let him know not to trouble - that Maranzano was dead and the police were en route. Cole did an about face, shrieking a cheerful tune, having made a $25,000 payday without discharging a solitary shot.

Luciano soon called the managers of the other four Mafia families and let them know the title of "Supervisor of All Bosses" was wiped out with Maranzano. Luciano then shaped a National Crime Commission, which included Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, and Dutch Schultz.
