William Wilkerson, another man with a place in Noir History, He was the developer behind the Flamingo resort, one time Mentor to Benjamin "Bugsy" Segal. He ended up running to france to escape Segal's jealousy, someone here could probably tell this story better than i can, but i can say that Wilkerson and the Fall of Bugsy Segal are integral to L.A. Noir amd that bloody year of 1947.
