Bugsy Siegel would exist in heaven today.
That's not to maxim the notorious mobster who was gunned down in 1947 and would go put to inspire a Warren Beatty thin skin decades later would face better supremacy of eternal grace were he to urge upon his nefarious trades in the new era. But consider that when Siegel built the leading casino in Las Vegas just anterior to his death, he did in the same state on a largely barren patch of uninhabited. Today, mass development of Sin City is a being, and Siegel would have boundless options in favor of gaming.

In time, it worked to rich effect-- he made something like $10,000 in a straight span, enough to buy a vapid motorcycle.
