		Gordon, who was acting as a middleman, asked to be included in the deal and was cut in for a small "piece." From this piece, Gordon would launch a successful rum-running empire and become a wealthy man. After Rothstein ended his partnership with the two in 1921, he continued to help finance them.
		Gordon’s brother, Nathan Wexler, called Theodore and urged him to return to New York a few days later to plead to the judge and Dewey for a reduction in sentence for his father, and for Gordon to be freed on bail while an appeal was pending.
		Gordon was not just facing a sentence for heading a narcotics ring that was believed to have international connections, but as a four-time offender to the "Baumes Law." New York of General Sessions Judge Francis L. Valente found Gordon guilty and sentenced on Dec. 13 from 25 years to life.

		Jewish gangsters who were thought to be constitutionally unsuited to the new "interfaith" combination of shared spoils with other ethnics, such as the "unsuited" Waxey Gordon, bootleg king of Philadelphia, were eliminated.
		The combination did this by continuing its business dealings with Gordon and then feeding information to Internal Revenue so that he could be put away on income tax charges.

	Cutting Down the Competition And the “Dutch” Shultz Problem
		Waxey Gordon had helped the Luciano Gang to assume an active and profitable role in the bootlegging industry.
		However, Gordon felt that he could maintain a level of independence since he still had a large control over both foreign and domestic liquor businesses.
		However, since Shultz was unable to carry out the elimination of Gordon, the rumor that the Federal Government was collecting information related to violation of tax laws by Gordon, could provide another avenue to dispose of the "Waxey" problem.

		Rothstein moved freely in all circles, from politicians and statesmen to bankers and bums.
		On his payroll at one time or another were gangsters such as Waxey Gordon, Jack "Legs" Diamond, Lepke Buchalter, Albert Anastasia, and Frank Costello (who later rose to become a "boss" of the mob and the star attraction of the Kefauver Crime Committee Hearings), as well as a goodly number of public officials.
