Celebrity: Al Capone
Mobsters! They're so popular. One of the most famous was John Torrio. I heard that he added a criminal to his gang, Al Capone, who became his right-hand man and later became famous. The bootleggers, selling their illegal alcohol. I wish I had the guts to do that as well, but he was almost killed after he killed the man who cheated him a brewery and money and called the cops on him. I was told that after that, Al Capone became the new leader, and was also named the FBI's Public Enemy Number One. Intelligent, persuasive, sneaky, Capone made as much as more than $60 million in the sale of beer, liquor and home brew. He must have been on the hit list for many gangsters, but he knew how to handle them. He was intelligent because he knew just how to kill off his enemies one by one. In the end, he arranged his own arrest after laying low, and was sent to Alcatraz for 5 years. He retired from the gang life and died at his mansion.
