Of these, perhaps the best shot is Dutch Schultz' alleged treasure:In preparation, he placed $7 million dollars inside a safe, drove to upstate New York, and buried it in a hidden location so he’d have a nest egg when he got out of prison. The only other person who knew where the safe was buried was the bodyguard who helped him dig the hole. Shortly after, both men were gunned down by hitmen inside the Palace Chophouse Restaurant in Newark, New Jersey.The transcript of Dutch' last ramblings are available online (I saw them not long ago, didn't know about this). Thanks BGHater! |

The hit was ordered by the Mafia Commission, the organization all the families belonged to. Then U.S. Attorney Tom Dewey was closing in on Schulz for tax evasion and Schulz wanted to hit Dewey. Joey Bananas thought Schulz was bananas and if he hit Dewey the heat would be on all of them.
Another interesting fact is he converted from Judaism to Catholicism, some say to get along better with the Italian mobs. He is buried in a Catholic cemetery but his body is draped in a talit, a Jewish prayer shawl.
The legend is his enemies, including Lucky Luciano, looked for the safe the rest of their lives but never found it.
