Timeline
Berman and his Minnesota friend Nathan Gittlewich both fought in the European Theater as soldiers with the 18th Armoured Car Regiment, 12th Manitoba Dragoons, II Canadian Corps, which first experienced combat during the Normandy Landings. Berman was well-liked, and his fellow soldiers did not know that he was a major figure in Jewish-American organized crime. After being severely wounded by enemy fire, briefly presumed dead, and declared unfit for further active service, Berman returned to the Twin Cities.
Susan Berman was murdered execution style with a 9mm handgun inside her rented home in the Los Angeles suburb of Benedict Canyon on December 23, 2000. On September 17, 2021, a Los Angeles County jury convicted real estate billionaire Robert Durst of Berman's first degree murder. Durst was also convicted of many additional Special Circumstance charges, which caused him to receive a sentence of life imprisonment without parole.
The couple's only child was journalist Susan Berman, who was gradually paid a total of $4.3 million by the American Mafia in return for her inherited stake in Las Vegas casinos and other properties. Berman also wrote a memoir about growing up as Twin Cities and Las Vegas mob royalty titled Easy Street (1981). In her memoir, Susan indicated she knew nothing about her father's criminal activities until an acquaintance brought to her attention the mentions of her father in the book The Green Felt Jungle.
David Berman (1903 – June 16, 1957) was a Jewish-American organized crime figure active in Sioux City, Iowa, the Twin Cities, and the Las Vegas strip. He was a casino gambling pioneer in Las Vegas, where he was a partner with mobster Bugsy Siegel at the Flamingo Hotel. Berman died in 1957 during surgery.
Berman died on the operating table during surgery to remove polyps from his colon on Father's Day, 1957. His daughter, journalist Susan Berman, always maintained that her father died under mysterious circumstances, but all indications were that he died of a heart attack during surgery.
Twenty minutes after the 1947 assassination of Bugsy Siegel in Beverly Hills, California, Gus Greenbaum, Moe Sedway and David Berman walked into the lobby of the Flamingo and announced that they were in charge.
The December 1944 issue of the Public Press, edited by a Jewish journalist and Walter Liggett-style anti-corruption and anti-racketeering crusader named Arthur Kasherman, featured the headline Kline Administration Most Corrupt Regime in the History of the City. A month later, on the night of Jan. 22, 1945, Kasherman was ambushed after eating dinner with a friend and shot dead on a sidewalk at 15th and Chicago avenues in Minneapolis. Kasherman's murder made the front pages of newspapers across the Twin Cities, but few in Minneapolis were surprised when the police investigation was quickly shut down.
According to Twin Cities crime historian Paul Maccabee, FBI files reveal that David Berman contributed very heavily to Marvin L. Kline's mayoral campaign under the understanding that, if Kline won the election, Berman would take over illegal gambling in Minneapolis. Therefore, during Kline's 1941-1945 term as Mayor, Berman briefly eclipsed his rivals and became the leader of the Minneapolis criminal underworld. According to Susan Berman, when Kline was the Mayor, Tommy Banks and Kid Cann had to work for her father.
In 1927, Berman was allegedly recruited from the Midwest by New York City-based Bugs and Meyer Mob in order to kidnap wealthy criminals for ransom. However, after Berman and Joe Marcus' kidnapping of Brooklyn real estate baron and bootlegger Abraham Scharlin, both kidnappers were surprised by the NYPD while waiting for the $20,000 ransom payment in Central Park. Marcus drew his side arm and was shot dead. Berman, when offered a deal after his arrest in return for testifying against those who had hired him, quipped: "Hell, the worst I can get is life." For his role in solving the Scharlin kidnapping, NYPD Detective John Cordes became the only police officer in that Department's history to be awarded a second Medal of Honor.
