Dutch Schultz

The Dutchman

About Me

I was born in the Yorkville section of New York in 1901 ( though many sources say 1902, my birth certificate says otherwise) to Emma and Herman Flegenheimer and was raised in the tough streets of the Bronx. I got my education from the hoodlums of my neighborhood and I went on to run one of the largest bootlegging empires in the city and took on the likes of Chink Sherman, Legs Diamond and Vincent Coll along the way. Some people called me cheap, I just saw it as basic economics. They say I was " particularly unlikeable" and as "cold as a machine"...well this ain't the kinda business where friends last long. If you cross me I won't be happy, if I like something I will tell ya... if not? Well, ask Bo about how I deal with traitors.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

numbers, liquor, hanging out at Polly Adler's, fast cars and how to avoid tax evasion charges.

I'd like to meet:

Gangsters, bootleggers, molls, dolls, and vixens.

Music:

well as I never made it pass 1935 anything recorded before then.

Movies:

I don't have time to go to the movies.

Television:

what the hell is that?

Books:

history books, medical books, philosophy books ( I may have dropped out of elementary school but I am smart as can be)

Heroes:

I keep those to myself...bad enough they got my ledger books...
