Arnold Rothstein was the kingpin of organized crime in New York City during the early portion of the 20th century. A shrewd businessman and a prodigious gambler, Rothstein amassed a monumental fortune from his interests, which included a casino, a horse racing outfit, and bootlegging liquor during Prohibition. Rothstein’s criminal empire included many underlings who would later make their own mark on organized crime in the United States, including Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Legs Diamond. Allegedly, Rothstein was also involved in fixing the infamous 1919 World Series, although he was never indicted or charged with any crimes. In 1928, Rothstein was murdered in retaliation for racking up a large gambling debt in a three-day poker game, which he refused to pay as he believed the game was fixed. Offered here is an employment agreement between Rothstein and his business partner, A.L. Libman, with whom he founded the insurance company A.L. Libman, Inc. This seven-page document was signed on October 18th, 1921, by both Rothstein and Libman in black ballpoint pen. Overall in good condition with minor handling wear & discoloration.
