Nucky Johnson's Organization

Nucky Johnson's Organization was a corrupt political machine based in Atlantic City, New Jersey that held power during the Prohibition era.

Its boss, Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, coordinated the Organizations' bootlegging, gambling, racketeering, and prostitution activities.

[citation needed] Nucky had also helped Republican building constructor Edward Bader get elected as mayor in 1920.

The group was supposed to help solve bootlegging disputes and serve as a predecessor to the National Crime Syndicate in the 1930s.

The leaders that thought of the conference were: La Cosa Nostra Masseria crime family lieutenant Charlie Luciano and the former boss of Chicago's South Side Gang Johnny Torrio.

Delegates included several notable Jewish and Italian mobsters, including: Alphonse "Scarface" Capone (boss of the Chicago Outfit)—who was fighting a war with the Genna brothers against Dean O'Banion's North Side Gang—, Frank Costello and Joe Adonis (lieutenants in the Masseria family), Max Hoff (Philadelphia Jewish mob boss), Abe Bernstein (Purple Gang boss), Carlo Gambino (D'Aquila family lieutenant), and Gaetano Lucchese (Reina family lieutenant).

During the late 1930s and early 1940s, FBI special agent William Frank and his team investigated the activities of Johnson and his organization but were unable to find evidence of wrongdoing.
