Lucky Luciano took advantage of prohibition, passed in 1919, and began selling bootleg liquor. During the 20's, he also met Arnold Rothstein, who among other things was famous for fixing the 1919 World Series. When he died in 1928, Luciano took over many of his rackets.

In October 1929, Luciano was forced into a limousine at gun point by three men, beaten and stabbed, and dumped on a beach on Staten Island. He somehow survived the ordeal but was forever marked with a scar and droopy eye
