Joe Adonis, aka Joe Doto, was involved with a number of hoodlums in the New York fur industry, men who were in trouble with the police and sought a means of alleviating this. On one occasion they shook down wealthy Meyer Shapiro a Manhattan Beach resident who was extorted in a confidence game at a hideout the Adonis' group maintained in Brooklyn. My e-book is a short profile of the Lucciano crime family as it operated in New York City in 1932.
