Martin “Buggsy” Goldstein (1905–1941) was a Brooklyn gangster and killer associated with Murder, Inc., the network of hitmen that carried out murders for organized crime leaders during the 1930s. Born Meyer Goldstein, he grew up in East New York, Brooklyn, and became a close criminal associate of Abe “Kid Twist” Reles. Goldstein belonged to the Brooklyn underworld that supplied killers to Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and Albert Anastasia. Murder, Inc. included both Jewish and Italian gangsters; Goldstein’s importance came from his place in that enforcement network and his association with Reles. Abe “Kid Twist” Reles rose from Brownsville’s streets to become one of Murder, Inc.’s most efficient contract killers for the National Crime Syndicate. Facing the electric chair in 1940, he turned state’s witness and helped send Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and several others to Sing Sing. On the morning of November 12, 1941—the day he was set to testify against Albert Anastasia—the 35-year-old fell from a sixth-floor window at Coney Island’s Half Moon Hotel while under police guard. Officially an escape attempt. Unofficially, the canary who could sing but couldn’t fly. Mob Talk Social Club— all mob, all the time. Real stories, real people who lived it.
