Al Capone Downfall

In 1931, Al Capone is finally caught by the government for failing to file income tax.

[@robertsr.249]

My very favorite Al Capone quote was “you can get a lot further with a kind word and a gun , than just a kind word “

[@amado4249]

Capone didn't end up in a very agreeable place in his life. His decisions had serious ramifications on society and in his personal life. I don't think there is room to glorify his crimes. It wasn't just about him opposing Prohibition, but capitalizing on people and profiting through violence, fear, and exploitation. How did he get far in life? In the end, he died young and he died mostly alone. He had a gruesome and slow death, as well. His slow and painful death was a direct result of poor living habits and extreme debauchery. Its sad, really. A terrible way to go. A sad legacy to leave behind.

[@kingduckford]

@@AllenHanPR That's not how life expectancy works. The average is just a worthless number that had no bearing on how long people actually lived. Infant and child mortality had more to do with low average numbers than how long people who actually reached adulthood lived. Most people who didn't die before age 18 tended to live into their late 50's or early 60's. Even during the most brutal of medieval times, this was mostly true. Even if "average life expectancy was 40 years old at this time" people healthy enough to survive to adulthood made it into their 50's. 30 years old was not considered old age.

By 1931, Capone's only rival was special Agent, Eliot Ness, and his Untouchables! They were a team of 11 agents, who helped bring Capone's beer racket down. Ness and his men attacked Capone's breweries, and cut a big part of his illegal income off. Ness and his men truly deserve all the glory they have gotten over the years.

AL CAPONE AND EL CHAPO are very similar in ways they both were the heaviest moving Smugglers and Both Smuggled in Chicago,Similarities in Ruthlessness,but also They Both helped people and did the Robin Hood deal opened up soup kitchens and built places to live companys to work and not to mention both of there downfalls was Publicity they couldn't stay out of the Light

I have some experience in this area. When the Federal Government wants to get you they’re 99% likely to succeed.

Did anybody ever escape then?Seems like even if you beat then once they just keep coming back with charges till they get you on one .Seems like they have fixed jury who would put a girl scout for selling cookies without a permit to jail for life /temporary evidence to put you away even if you are innocent .

[@solomonking5097]

The so called judge handling Al Capone case was also involved I bet smh.....

[@alalducente]

so called? you dumb fuck

[@Scyllax]

No. He was chosen because it was his turn. He was tipped off by the head of the IRS team investigating Capone, who was tipped off by the local feds. The IRS accountants and detectives spent four years working up the case against Capone, according to the head of the group, who wrote a book on their investigation, which was not triggered by any informant, but by the records of a bookmaker, whose records traced back to an alias of Capone.

The movie about him is awesome

[@silvanonovalis-kj2dx]

Capone should have created his own foundation only for the purpose of money laundering as Russians do in America. Lucky Luciano was much smarter than he was.

[@tonywaldon7801]

Lucky might have been smarter, but al was the man
