Well, I’m completely stumped. Someone else can take my DQ guess.
YESS!!! I am Arnold Rothstein, the racketeer who paid off the Chicago Black Sox to throw the 1919 World Series.
That was a DQ, not an IQ, but… congrats, Prof. P.!
Never heard of him…
Too be completely fair, that was a DQ. I’ve never heard of him either, and was merely following up on SCAdian’s line of inquiry, hence I think SCAdian should go next instead.
I’m fine with SCAdian getting the next round. Whatever seems fair to everyone else suits me.
Sorry if Rothstein was too obscure.
Appropos of nothing, he appeared as a fictional character in The Great Gatsby. And in The Godfather Part 2, we learn that Hyman ROth (Lee STrasberg) adopted his name as a tribute to Rothstein, his idol.
Yes, I’ve heard of him, and knew of the Gatsby connection, too, although he went by the name “Meyer Wolfsheim” there - and the actor who played him in the recent movie had a definitely wolfish appearance: http://fitzgeraldandfashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/GreatGatsby2012trlr_108Pyxurz.jpg
No one seems to object to this notion, so -
