Arnold Rothstein (January 17, 1882 - November 4, 1928) was a New York businessman and gambler chiefly famous for his role as a kingpin of organized crime.
By 1910 Arnold had moved to the Tenderloin section of Manhattan where he established an important gambling casino, and during Prohibition purchased a portion of a number of speakeasies.
Arnold Rothstein's estate was finally declared bankrupt ten years after his death by his only surviving brother, but he left a legacy of shaping the form of American organized crime in the 20th century.
