卢西安诺(Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano)是美国黑帮教父, 被称为美国「现代有组织犯罪之父」。 他奠定了美国黑手党的繁荣, 即使后来被流放到意大利西西里岛, 他仍和他在美国的犹太智囊迈尔兰斯基(Meyer Lansky) 共同创造了沙漠奇迹拉斯维加斯赌城。《时代》杂志和美国有线广播网联合评出的「20世纪最有影响的行业奠基人」时, 卢西安诺(Luciano) 排名在微软比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)之上。
卢西安诺(Luciano)被放逐意大利之后, 有次接受访问讲到他参观纽约证券交易所的情形, 当他了解了交易所的运作之后, 卢西安诺(Luciano)不禁说到: “最糟糕的是…我发现自己入错了帮会!"。 黑帮教父发现自己入错了帮会因为股市是更容易抢劫的地方! 相信对于持有被沽空机构狙击股票的股东, 或者曾经误踩老千的股民, 别有一番体会。
"The story is told that after he had been deported to Italy, Infamous New York City gangster Lucky Luciano granted an interview in which he described a visit to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. When the operations of floor specialists had been explained to him, he said, 'A terrible thing happened. I realized I'd joined the wrong mob" from The Wall Street Jungle by Richard Ney (page 8)
