Al Capone is from New York born and raised. He was brought to Chicago by Johnny Torrio, another New Yorker, as extra muscle to help take over the Chicago outfits. Johnny Torrios empire was handed down to all Capone. So let's make no mistakes here. Al Capone was the New York mob and he was put in a cream position of power in Chicago, got a little too big for his britches and was ignored for the most part by the syndicate. They just let him do his thing.

There really is no New York or Chicago rivalry thing. That mentality or belief is from outsiders who don't understand the inner workings. It's all the same thing...different names. No matter where they are, this is a secret society/network of Italian guys. Italians just look at each other as fellow Italians. It's not a big deal if an Italian Chicago gangster goes to New York City and joins the racket over there, or vice versa. It's happened countless times. The end goal for both is money, which is achieved by cooperating with each other in a secret underground way.

[@rohidnablayy6060]

Seek N. Destroy The mafia in Italy is recruiting teenage boys ALL the time. As for Italian-Americans in NYC and other places, they definitely still recruit guys. There sons, nephews, younger cousins, guys on the streets. It’s like what you said if they don’t recruit new members they wouldn’t be able to operate. Think about it, majority of mobsters today are quite old and someday they won’t be here, so in order for the spaces to be filled more and more guys will have to be recruited. Young guys in there late teens/early 20s and so on. There’s plenty of wannabe gangsters in NYC and most boys look up to their fathers and want to be just like them, they see the money, the cars, the watches, the big houses, the suits, the RESPECT. So to answer your question, yes of course they recruit new members.

They didn’t run him out of NY the five families weren’t even together yet when Al went to Chicago. After the saint Vday massacre there was so much heat on Al that when they met in A.C. Lucky asked Al if he would take a small charge and in Pennsylvania til the heat died down, he obliged. One of the strongest families of the mafia was in New Orleans. The boss there is the one that put together the Kennedy assasination. Most of the time in New York only 1 or 2 of the five families really controlled things. Do some research

I just finished re-watching it last week. I still can get over Stephen Graham, the actor who played Al Capone, is from England.

The Buffalo boss (Magadino) was the go between who keep things even between NY and Chicago. He was an original Commission member. His territory stretched from WNY through Canada all the way to Italy and Corsica.

[@BudsCartoon]

He was an Aiello man. He would've sided against Capone and with the mafia. But why would he be a go between when Capone could call Luciano? He may have been Aiello's man, but the Commission was formed years after Capone's beef with the mafia started.

Big difference from what you read to what your hear from people in the flesh.

Crazy nobody talks about Los Angeles mafia in the the 20s, 30s, up to the 40s and 50s when the Battle of the Sunset Strip took place between Mickey Cohen and his crew against Jack Dragna and the LA Crime Family...

[@wolfech1]

After Dragna, Frank Desimone was the boss of LA, he’s nephew was Tommy Desimone of Good Fellas fame

[@kjparlay]

I used to think the "Chicago" accents from the old SNL Superfans skits were hugely exaggerated. Turns out they were just dead on Chicago gangster accents.

[@brassknucks2548]

Al Capone chased out of NY and ran to Chicago where he could be that guy.

[@janeisklar3923]

Frank died last week (20.08.2020)

love his accent

R.I.P Frank

[@pio7763]

What a great role models.

[@AvenueD417]

Capone wasn’t born in Chicago, he’s from Brooklyn so why don’t they use a actual Chicago born mobster in the thumbnail instead of comparing Luciano and Capone who were friends

[@scottbeater-man3714]

I thought al and Charlie hated each other

[@mrfurio875]

Because he put Chicago on the map
