		Abner Zwillman ("Longie") was a Jewish bootlegger in New Jersey who helped to organize the national crime syndicate.
		Zwillman cooperated with the New York Mafia family of Charlie Luciano during the early 1930s and established a solid relationship with New York's Frank Costello.

		In 1929 Zwillman helped organize the Cleveland Conference, one of the first meetings between Jewish and Italian organized crime leaders, later resulting in the establishment of the Mafia Ruling Commission and eventually the National Crime Syndicate, to which he would be admitted to the following year.
