Being a highly know and revered gangster was a big business. Money was made fast and very easily. Bootlegging alcohol was by far the most profitable in the 1920's; this was because of the prohibition of alcohol. Gambling was another business that paid off; stations sanctioned for gambling were set up all over cities. Prostitution and murders were also crimes that made gangsters quick and easy money.

Alphonse Capone was the biggest force in organized crime. He started his career of crime in Boston as an apprentice to Johnny Torrio. There he earned the unforgettable nickname "Scarface." It was in a bar when Capone made some rude comments about a woman. Minutes later, the woman's brother sliced Capone in the face.

This man was a friend of Charles "Lucky" Luciano. Al Capone was punished and forced to apologize. Al Capone did not become a leader until he went to Chicago. At the time he was still an apprentice to Johnny Torrio.

In the middle of the gang violence and bootlegging

The man who had been giving Capone the most trouble was George "Bugs" Moran. Moran took over O'Banion's gang after the murder of Dion. Capone planned an assassination for Moran. To keep himself out of trouble, Capone laid back in Florida and left "Machine Gun" McGurn in charge of the hit. On February 14, 1929, two of Capone's men including McGurn entered a garage where Moran and some of his guys were said to be located, The team was dressed in police uniforms and armed with machine guns and sawed off shotguns. They shot down 7 of Moran's men but Moran was never there. The police and all the people of Chicago all knew Capone ordered the murders.

One of Al Capone's rivals was the gardener Dion O'Banion. Dion was a rival bootlegger whose behavior had to be controlled. He killed men whenever and wherever he wanted. O'Banion even went as far as tricking Torrio which sent him to jail. Something he did wrong was bragging about it. Days later, O'Banion was taken out by three of Capone's men in his own flower shop. Capone and Torrio then took over the excellent bootlegging business that was Dion's.

No other single gangster could be as infamous as Al Capone. Al Capone was the most powerful gangster to ever live. No one could stop his reign of crime, and anyone that got in his way, he would take out, even when it came to his friends. He was never convicted for any of the hundreds of crimes he committed; this is one of the most important facts that showed how many connections Capone had.
