Dutch Schultz German Jewish-American Mobster

by Robert Grey Reynolds Jr

Overview

Dutch Schultz made the big time of racketeers when he entered the business of speakeasies. From a respectable Bronx family Schultz served time on Roosevelt Island for a minor offense that he committed in 1919. When he was paroled he got into speakeasies, partnering with James Noe after a brief stint in larceny with Legs Diamond. Noe was shot and killed several months later and Dutch Schultz took over the business, and expanded his liquor racket within a short time. The Harlem lottery was a $100 million annual profit for a West Indian who ran it before he went to jail in 1931. By the time his prison term concluded Schultz had muscled in and taken over his lucrative lottery.
