36 years of age. Born, April 3, 1846, Brooklyn, New York.

Hyman, or "Hymie the Hat" as he was known to his underworld compatriots was arrested June 16, 1942 on Income Tax evasion and Racketeering charges.

Fienberg is believed to have provided accountant services for several New York crime syndicate figures throughout the late thirties and early forties. Helping to launder hundreds of thousands of dollars gained in illegal gambling and extortion activities

Police say Fienberg has been linked to Italian-German mob boss, Santangelo "Santy" Klaus, and Native American crime boss Rudolph "Rudy Red Nose" Reindeer.

I think I've been watching "The Godfather" too much lately.

Wasn't he wacked as part of the big gang wars???

No, he disappeared during the gang wars, only to later resurface as a silent partner in a series of South Beach Burlesque theatres.

He died quietly in 1982 at his estate on Golden Beach.
