Congressman Franks remembers Kayo Konigsberg
www.COMPUTERCRAFT.com
"We loved the fact that he was one of us. I mean, here's a guy who had-you
know, he wasn't just an accountant like Meyer Lansky. I remember teasing one
of your father's cousins about him. She'd get upset, but most of the Jewish
kids I knew were sort of worshipful of Kayo."
Congressman Barney Frank (born and raised in Bayonne) on Harold Konigsberg
Blood Relation
Harold Konigsberg (AKA "Kayo" and "Heshey") was a sadist and a serial
killer. Harold Konigsberg worked for La Cosa Nostra and then, becoming a
Federal informant, turned on the Mob.
A few choice bits of local lore concerning Harold Konigsberg:
* During the commission of an armed robbery, Harold Konigsberg forced a
female office worker to remove her blouse so that he could view her breasts.
* Before killing one of his victims, Harold Konigsberg emasculated the man
by grabbing his scrotum and then pulling it away from the body.
* When an attractive young man was incarcerated, Harold Konigserg told the
new inmate, "Tonight, you're gonna be my wife." Before the homosexual rape
could occur, the young inmate committed suicide. After that, all the
Mobsters and their associates refused to have anything more to do with
Konigsberg.
I hope that Congressman Franks rethinks his comments.
