  • Greenbaum first came to prominence as an associate of Meyer Lansky. Greenbaum joined his organization on New York's Lower East Side in the mid to late 1910s. During Prohibition, Greenbaum began working with the Chicago Outfit managing the southwest division of the Trans-America Race wire service in 1928. Greenbaum was sent to Las Vegas shortly after World War II began. He gained control over syndicate gambling operations with Morris Rosen and Moe Sedway. Sedway and Greenbaum ran the El Cortez Casino in 1945, until Greenbaum was asked by William R. Wilkerson to manage casino operations at the Flamingo Hotel. In 1946, Bugsy Siegel took over construction and creative control of the Flamingo, until it was shut down in January, 1947, due to mounting losses as a result of Siegel's alleged skimming. After Siegel's murder in June 1947, Greenbaum brought the struggling casino out of debt within several months, controlling several other syndicate casinos and bookmaking operations in Arizona within several years. Greenbaum planned to retire to Arizona and rejected offers to run the Riviera for Tony Accardo, though after Greenbaum's sister-in-law was murdered, he accepted the job. As a syndicate leader in Las Vegas, Greenbaum would order the deaths of Anthony Brancato and Anthony Trombino for robbing a syndicate hotel, the murder was carried out by Los Angeles crime family soldier Jimmy "the weasel" Fratianno.
