== Origins ==
[[The Bugs and Meyer Mob]] was the predecessor to Murder, Incorporated. The gang was founded by New York Jewish mobsters [[Meyer Lansky]] and [[Bugsy Siegel]] in the early 1920s. Sicilian mafioso [[Charlie Luciano|Charles "Lucky" Luciano]] created [[The Commission (mafia)|The Commission]] and began to closely cooperate with his friend Lansky and the [[Jewish Mob]] in general, establishing a multi-ethnic alliance that eventually was deemed the "[[National Crime Syndicate]]". Soon after, Siegel and Lansky disbanded the Bugs and Meyer gang and helped form Murder, Incorporated.
