Career
By 1910, Rothstein at age 28 had moved to the Tenderloin section of Manhattan, where he established an important gambling casino. He also invested in a horse racing track at Havre de Grace, Maryland, where he was reputed to have "fixed" many of the races that he won. Rothstein had a wide network of informants, very deep pockets from amongst his father's Jewish banking community, and the willingness to pay a premium for good information, regardless of the source. His successes made him a millionaire by age 30.
