Albie was by all accounts an old school Jewish gangster who, amongst other things, owned nightclubs in Manhattan in the 1970s and '80s, served time (only 8 months) for tax fraud (at the time it was believed to be the largest evasion of payment scheme of its kind ever brought in the United States), and was awarded two Purple Hearts as a US Marine in WW2.
