Bugsy Siegal was an infamous mobster who was the driving force behind the construction and operation of the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. He lived on the casino's grounds int the so-called "presidential Suite" which was built of fortified walls and bullet-proof glass, and contained secret "getaway" passages.
Despite these precautions he was killed at his girlfriend's house in Palm Springs, CA. Presumably, he didn't "fortify" that location as well!
